From the death certificate I have his birth date as Oct.08,1860 in Missouri and parents unknown. He married Mary Catherine Russell from Ar. year unknown and had six children Blanch 8 May 1892 ? Lena Jan 1900 Ok. Arval 13 Jan 1903 Or. Arnold 1905 Or. Russell 31 July 1910 Wa. James (Jack) 15 Jan 1913 Wa (husbands father) Do any of you have information on these JEFFERIES/JEFFRIES I have ran out of ideals where to look. Thank you in advance for any help and your time to reply to this. Carol in Montana

please accept my apology. this thread started as a simple statement about laptops. and escalated to donating them to the cancer ward for the kids to play games and write to penpals. it just may be a way to keep depression from setting in. which is a killer of the will to live. the accidental thread is working. a couple have been donated already. i will try to stop the thread. again , i am sorry for the problem. mike -----Original Message----- From: Ron <skyhawk@digisys.net> To: SURNAME-QUERY-L@rootsweb.com <SURNAME-QUERY-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, March 14, 1998 2:50 AM Subject: Re: ENOUGH ABOUT OLD COMPUTERS! >Dave Masonhall wrote: >> >> Just curious, is this a format for surname queries or is it a site >> for donation, purchase and repair facilities for old 386 computers? >> Thinking out loud that another place might be a better location for >> this type of activity.

To start off, I must apologize for burdening some of you with what will be seen as superfluous trivia; however, in this day and age of posting genealogy data to web sites, I feel that it is important for you to know just what is available in the way of converting GEDCOM files to HTML and placing on Web Sites. I have just Registered, Downloaded, and Installed a program called "ProGenitor2". It takes GEDCOM files, converts them to HTML for uploading to a Web Site, and then makes those files available for users to view, search, copy, download, etc. I have been involved in doing this "genealogy thing" for over 12 years, starting back when the "Net" and "Web" weren't even figments of any- ones imagination. I've had my own web site for almost 2 years now. I have, over the past 2 years, used several programs to convert GEDCOM files to HTML, to upload to the site and allow users to easily find data on specific surnames/families. ProGenitor is absolutely the best one I have found. This email is not meant to be a "plug" for this program, it is meant to show you users what can be done with your own GEDCOM file, created from your computer genealogy program. On my web page, BROYLES/BRILES Family History, I already had several databases available, using a program called GED2HTML. It is a very nice program, but once you see what ProGenitor can do, I believe you will like it better. To test this new program, I chose a relatively small GEDCOM file that a correspondent had sent me. It contains only 945 names, and thus was one that would take up relatively little space on my ISP. The surname that is involved is FILLERS, and it is connected to the BROYLES surname. In Greene and Washington Counties in Tennessee, the name FILLERS/ FELLERS/G'FELLERS is one that is interwoven throughout Tennessee's history with the BROYLES/BRILES and WILHOIT/WILHITE families. Thus, I thought it a good one to experiment with. (I must warn you that there is one problem with this particular GEDCOM -- the BROYLES ancestors are not linked back to the immigrant Johannes BREYHEL (John BROYLES). It is a FILLERS history and the researcher didn't follow through with the BROYLES history.) I would like for any of you to visit this site: http://www.concentric.net/~sgtgeorg/fillers1/index.html Please navigate around and see how you like this format for putting databases on the web. When the home page pops up, I would sug- gest that you click on "Help" to see what you can do. Once you have read the help file, go back and click on "Search". You will get a page where every Surname in the database is listed. You can either scroll down the list until you find a Surname that you would like to investigate, or simply type in the surname in the avail- able search box and click "Search". Let's say you want to look for the BROYLES surname. Scroll down the page to BROYLES, click on the BROYLES name, go to the button bar at the top, Click on "Views", then "Display Records". This will give you a list of EVERY BROYLES name in the database. To give you a demonstration, after the "Display Records" screen has loaded, under "BROYLES, Addie", you will see "BROYLES, Lewis Melvin". Click on his name and you will get a complete family history for him and his wife. If you want ancestral charts or descendant charts, instead of clicking on "Display Records", click on "Ancestor" or "Descendants". To print out an ancestral chart or descendant chart, click on "Print" and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS !!!!! It may seem complicated at first, but I assure you that you will be surprised and delighted at the results. Now that I have led you through this morass, let me get to the REAL intent of this email. "IF" you have a database of a "Germanna" family, and IF you would like to have your database on the "Web", you can send me a GEDCOM of your database and I will use ProGenitor to convert it to HTML and post it to my web site. There is no charge and I'm making this offer in order to get as much data as possible of the Germanna families on the Web. Just remember, for every 200 names in your database, it costs me about 500 Kb (.5 Mb) of server space. So, if your database contains 2000 names, it will take 5 Mb of space. I would appreciate it if you would use the capabilities of your genealogy database program and make a GEDCOM of ONLY those names, trees, branches, lines, etc., that pertain to actual Germanna descendants. That is, don't include ances- tors of spouses if they are not Germanna descendants. When you send the GEDCOM, give me your name, email address, and (if you have one) the URL for your Web Site. I will not disseminate the data in the GEDCOM files to anyone else. They will reside on my server, only for the use of Germanna researchers, and may not be copied, compiled, nor re-trans- mitted for use by profit-making enterprises. I will copywrite the pages so that anyone wishing to use the data is warned "upfront" that it is not "public domain" material. Sorry for this overly-long email, but I just couldn't make it any smaller. For those of you who have sent me GEDCOM files in the past, I am now ready to convert them into HTML and post to the web site. Sorry it has taken so long. (Some GEDCOM files that I have received were not exported in the proper format and I can't use them. Also, some files were included as text in the body of the emails you used to send them -- these files will have to be re-submitted if I am going to be able to convert them and upload to the server.) Just remember, if you send me a GEDCOM file, DO NOT send it as part of the text body of an email. You MUST send it as a separate attachment!!!!! And, it must be exported from your genealogy program as a GEDCOM file, not as some other aberration of a file such as FTM produces. Oh, one thing I forgot to say was that one of the reasons I am so excited over this program is that I produces files that take up much, much less space on the server that do the other programs I have used.

Just because I do not usually handle these things on the list publicly, does not mean they are not being handled. I expect this will be the last comment on this matter posted to the list. Thanks, Ron Lahti Surname-Query Listowner

Just curious, is this a format for surname queries or is it a site for donation, purchase and repair facilities for old 386 computers? Thinking out loud that another place might be a better location for this type of activity. Thank you in advance for not posting another 386 "query."

This list will cover the NEELEY/NEELY/NEALY's of <>IN<>NC<>TN<>OK<>MS<>TX & CA we are not connected to the Neeley's of SC & Neely's Bend TN. ============================================= OK, good news: my mailing list is ready to roll. Briefly (very), people can subscribe to our list in mail mode by sending a message to NEELEY-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains the word subscribe and nothing else. If they prefer digest mode, they should send the command instead to NEELEY-D-request@rootsweb.com. To unsubscribe, they should send the command "unsubscribe" to NEELEY-L-request@rootsweb.com (if in mail mode) or NEELEY-D-request@rootsweb.com (if in digest mode.) To switch from one mode to the other, they should unsubscribe from one and then subscribe to the other. There is no "no mail" mode -- if they want messages to stop, they should simply unsubscribe. (Suggestion: use these commands to subscribe to NEELEY-L, as no one at all is currently subscribed, and then send a test message through. Take your list for a test drive, in other words.) To post to both NEELEY-L and NEELEY-D, messages should be sent to NEELEY-L@rootsweb.com.

KELLY-HOLMAN Am seeking information on David Kelly/Kelley, born in Indiana, died 1901, who was the father of Mary Elizabeth Kelly/Kelley, born 1856 in Texas, and the husband of Helen Holman, born Indiana. Helen's father was John Holman. ********************************************************************** ******* SINGLETARY.... Am seeking the parents/siblings of William Harrison Singletary, born 3-18-1850 in Georgia, died 5-6-1899 in Oklahoma. Married Sarah Emily "Sallie" Looney, born 9-17-1859 in Tennessee, died 11-1897 in Oklahoma, on 12-9-1877 in Brownwood, Brown County, Texas. Children were Clarence Preston, Robert Alexander, Herman Leroy, Ina Isola and Ernest Rayfield. ********************************************************************** ********** CATES-SHELTON.... ISAIAH CATES/KATES (b. circa 1817 in Tennessee/North Carolina (probably the section of N.C. that later became Tennessee) or Ireland; d. early 1860's in southwest Missouri) married NANCY SHELTON (b. circa 1826 in Tennessee; d. 1896 in McKinney, Collin County, Texas) circa 1841. It is believed they were in the Giles County, Tennessee at this time. Nancy was the daughter of William (b. Missouri/Virginia) and Mary (b. circa 1793 in Virginia) Shelton. By the 1850 census, they had moved 60 miles northwest to Perry County, Tennessee, a county split in half by the Tennessee River, but by 1854 had moved to Franklin Township, Dent County, Missouri, a journey of 250 miles to the northwest across the Mississippi River, where the family resided during the 1860 census. In the late 1850's, Isaiah was reported to be a doctor/farmer in southwestern Missouri. He supposedly was making a house call one night and was stranded in a snowstorm—his horse becoming entangled in a wire. He was found the next morning and later contracted pneumonia and died. His gravesite is as yet unknown. In the 1870 census, Nancy, George, Isaiah Jr., Joel, John, Elizabeth and Nancy's mother, Mary Shelton, were again in Dent County (Franklin Township, Salem), Missouri. In the 1870's, the family relocated once again to Texas, an even-longer trek of over 500 miles to the southwest. They had seven children named Margera (Margaret) Ann, Sarah, George, Isaiah Jr., Joel, John Conley and Bette Elizabeth. Need info on Isaiah and Nancy's parents/siblings, etc.. ********************************************************************** *********************
