Hello, I would like to have any information that might lead to tracing my grandfather, George Poppenberg. I have just started this addictive genealogy and am stuck on this side of the family. I can't seem to get anywhere. Thanks.

SAMUEL MARION MCCRACKEN prior to 1850 in Rutherford County Tn SHADRACK PINKSTON married to PLEASANT KESTER 1813 LOGAN COUNTY, KY MARY CATHERINE BANE and AARON CHILCOTT married about 1880 in Maryland or Pa (lived on both side of state line). Parents of JAMES HICKS married to PATSY STUBBLEFIELD Tn Died in Miller County Mo. JAMES HENRY RALSTON married MARY HICKS Miller County Missouri Helena

And God bless Mommy and Daddy and Sgt George too - thanks George for being there. Will be posting soon - thanks for helping me to understand before I take the plunge....Blanche in California

Would like to find parents and grandparents of both Elizabeth and Baxter. Their daughter was Bessie LAFOLETTE who married Turner ANDERSON. They in turn had daughter Zora Cathleen ANDERSON born 1906 who married Russell LARRICK. Zora's great-granddaughter married my son and we have BRILL and AMICK families distantly in our lines in PA. Duke

Here are some surnames I am researching ABLER m. LACKNER arrived in US in Dec of 1913, WILTSE, RAAB, CHRIST, ZAUNER, CAMPAU. SCHUMACHER, MANNING, BERENDT, SALHOFF, MCCORMICK WHITMAN, SIMMONS, DUDLEY, VANLUVEN, LODER, DAILY, SHULTZ, THOMAS Some ended in the Saginaw Co., Michigan area. Thanks, Tammy (Schumacher) Whitman

James Ralston first found in Ky then in Indiana. His son James Ralston is my greatgrandfather. Sarah could be a relative of U S Grant. Helena

Uh......I agree, but aren't "WE" now adding a tremendous amount to the tons of email? Including this one and only one from me. Bob

I would say that Sgt. George is irascible, but folks who cannot read how to delete part of a digest or how to use a subject line will not know what that word means. iot just so happens that I agree with him I get tons of E mail every day and it takes me a lot fo time to go thru it all, and I hate to delete mail that could be important. I do subscribe mostly to digests, and when i get a digest with the same messge repeated ad infiniitum, with only a one linler reply, I want to throw up. I hve had whole digests srepeated. Now that eats ujp space!!! Keep it up George. I'm with you. love joan

WHY DON"T YOU TRY BEIING HUMAN?

I am looking for anyone researching the HOFMEISTER surname in Adams County Il. Thanks June

What an unfriendly group of people. I am sending my Unsubsribe request, and if who ever's in charge of this Romper Room would kindly remove any of my queries, I'd appreciate it. K. Trout

Willing to share information on William and Elizabeth's descendants. Thanks, Mark

I believe that I will have to subscribe. I will try (really try)to do it right for another day or two. nell -----Original Message----- From: Doug Lusty <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, September 03, 1998 1:10 AM Subject: Re: If You Have Not Read This Before, PLEASE READ IT NOW !!!!!

Richard JACKSON b 1565 in Killingwold Grove or Killingroves England which is wsw of Beverely in Bishop Burton Parish, Yorkshire m Ursula HIL(D)YARD d 1602. Their son, Anthony, was Secretary to Prime Minister George VILLIERS and Anthony was knighted 1650 for his service to Charles I and II. I am interested in info concerning the area (Maps, etc) as well as who Anthony's wife was. Does anyone know of a library/librarian/historian in the Beverley area to whom I might write, e-mail or snail mail, that would be interested in history/genealogy correspondence? Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. My thanks Bobby

I have read some things lately, on the lists that I subscribe to that have been a little less than friendly. You know, if I were any newer to the list I would be afraid to post. Not because of the reminder for new subscriber's to post surnames in the subject line, how to unsubscribe, or send replies. Because of some strong language being used, in response to the reminder. Life is too short for all of this. But then, I am a gray person in a black and white world. Daniele

I agree with you

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --part0_904860012_boundary Content-ID: <[email protected]_out.mail.aol.com.1> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Just a note on my thoughts. I"m one of those who makes mistakes from time to time. I guess I'm stupid because I can't seem to unsub from some mailing lists(dummies daily for example) even tho I have read AND FOLLOWED the instructions. Isn't it time some of you got off your high horse and realized that this is supposed to be a hobby and we are all supposed to enjoy this hobby. So please quit being so petty with your criticism's.
