Dear List Members: We are mourning and will be mourning for a long while, the tragedy which happened to us this week. I, as you, hurt and want to cry out and scream to the world "that something has to be done", "we hurt", "why". Those who lost loved ones will continue to need the support of their fellow man while they either wait for word of of their missing or are burying their dead. I expect no less of each one of us and the days pass. The time has come though, for us to begin the process of trying to live our lives in some kind of normalcy, by trying to slowly bring our lists back to the topic for which they are designed. Therefore as I opened the lists for you to express your grief, I now, most respectfully, and with sorrow, ask that you help me bring them back to the topic of the list. Today is the last day for posting of your feelings and thoughts to the list regarding the tragedy. If you have not had the chance or have felt strong enough to share you feelings with us you can still post them at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=usa-tragedy.mourning I want to thank each of you for the manner in which you held our flag high this past week, for the manner in which you shared your sorrow, for the manner in which you shared your grief without attacking one another or any culture. I especially want to thank those members who hurt as badly as those who posted regarding what has happened in their world, but could not deal with seeing this horror on their genealogy list. They never said a negative word, but let those who needed this time and this way to express their sorrow have it. These members were true friends to each of us. I ask now that each of you help me to again close the lists to any topic other than the topic of the list as of tomorrow morning, Sunday, September 16th, 2001. I appreciate each of you and thank you for the support I am given by each of you. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Dear List Members. Ancestry is down. They are working on it. I was just sent a temp addresses - I am not even sure if it will work for you - but try it if you have been trying to get on. This is the message that was sent.... "The connection problem for ancestry.com has been fixed. Ancestry expects it will be another day maybe two before the corrected information is globally propagated. You can connect use http://216.10.103.21/ to connect to ancestry.com Thank you for your patience during this crisis." PLEASE do not post to the list if it does not work and PLEASE do not post to the list that Ancestry is down. If you have a concern or a question you can contact me personally KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net - but I am not even sure I can answer it, but will try. :) I appreciate each and every one of you who are helping me keep our list confined to postings regarding the topic of our list.

One of the brothers went to Maryland. From him is where our line comes from. I have very little information. I can only trace as far back as my gg-grandfather, John Jefferson Teel b. 1841. We know that he could not read. We also know that Teel is not the original spelling of the name. Does any of this sound familiar? If so email me at hartmusic@hotmail.com.

According to family, four brothers came from Scotland to New York. One of the brothers went to Maryland. He is my ancestor. However, I can only get as far as my gg-grandfather, John Jefferson Teel. I only have he was born 1841. Where he was born is a mystery. We do know, he could not read and that the original spelling of the name has been changed to Teel. I have suspected it was orginally Teal. Does anyone have information that comes close to this?

Dear List Members, I was sent this site by a fellow researcher "Index to the Guion Miller Roll" http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/guionmiller/index.htm I found it very interesting - and thought I would pass it on to you. Now for the other items. This message is being sent out to all of my list, some which only have 3 members and some with almost 1000. If you are one of my smaller lists and feel that you only hear from me, why don't you take this opportunity to send a query to the list. If you need help from me, please put something in the subject line to alert me that the message is a request for help. When I am at work during the day I use http://www.mail2web.com from my office computer to keep an eye on my lists. I can only read the subject line from there and unless I open each and every message which most times are in the hundreds by 10 am in the morning. This is two time consuming while at work. So, to repeat, if you need my help, please place something in the subject line so that I will know your request needs attention quickly. One more item, It is time or about time when most children are heading back to school and many Moms and or Dads who are staying home now have additional time to work on their genealogy. If we begin to get messages across the lists that do not conform to the guidelines we have for our list, please just let them pass. Remember I am behind the scenes taking care of these problems, helping members subscribe and unsubscribe and reminding members of the guidelines of the list. The only time I send out corrections to the entire list is when the entire list is involved or when one of our members is being attached on the list - I then come to the defense in the same place the attack took place -- On the list. Enjoy the site - Thank you for your continued support. Kathleen Burnett List Mom
