Dear Gerald: If you have ever tried to go to UT Hospital you will remember malfunction junction. It is where I-275 runs into I-40 West. In these days you stay in the left lanes and go under the bridge that goes to the Henley Street tunnel, toward Chapman Hwy. Right where you enter interstate 40 West is malfunction junction, or used to be. Personally, I think it is worse right up interstate 40 West a few hundred feet, where you have to try to go either to the airport (Alcoa Hwy.) or 17th Street. You get in the wrong lane there and you are "up the creek without a paddle." Hope you are well. I haven't talked with you in a while. Sincerely, Elizabeth (Libby) Smiddy LaFollette, Campbell County, TN

Thank you for answering. Yes, I love Chris's site - one of the best I've seen. I've just been grasping at straws in my searching on William Voiles, bn ca 1822 in Greene Co., TN (most likely). His parents were David Voiles and Patience Kesterson who married there in 1817. At some point, I am going to find someone who knows something further about them. But I won't unless I try, right? So, I really appreciate your answering. Thank you. I am so sorry that Chris has had a "minor stroke." I have had one of those myself several years ago and am doing fine. I'm sure she will, too. We don't want to lose her, do we? Helen In a message dated 3/1/2008 5:10:07 P.M.

I was contacted by a gentleman who is writing a chapter in his book on the murder of Sophia Baird from Campbell County, which occurred in Ohio in 1943. This was the article I posted to the Campbell County site: CHECKING CLUE IN OHIO MURDER Link Report on Three Negroes To Slaying of Waitress in Cincinnati Hotel Cincinnati - Cincinnati police today were investigating a new clue in their search for the slayer of blonde Sophia Baird, a 20-year old waitress who was murdered early Sunday in the hallway outside her third floor hotel room. Robert Puckett, Middletown, reported to the Middletown police force, that he saw three negroes acting peculiarily when he passed the Biltmore hotel, where the girl was brutally slain. Puckett disclosed that this was at about the time of the murder. Detective Chief Clem Merz said that except for the fact that the suspect was a negro, his detectives had no clue to the slayer's identity. More than 48 hours have elapsed since the former Elk Valley, Tenn. girl's body was found stabbed and slashed while detectives have been attempting to establish whether any act, unintentional or otherwise on the slain girl's part might have led a Negro to believe that she had no qualms about racial barriers. Police questioned Miss Baird's roommate, Miss Mildred Sharpe and other friends of the girl but so far they have not uncovered anything to show that the girl had even the slightest association with her slayer. Meanwhile, police were attempting to ascertain when an attack upon a 26-year-old housewife could have been perpetrated by the same Negro. Mrs. May McKinney notified authorities that a man answering somewhat the description of Miss Baird's slayer had attacked her at her home. Mrs. McKinney said the Negro fled when she screamed. Mansfield News Journal, Mansfield, Ohio, April 27, 1943 The book is tentatively scheduled to be released in October 2008 at a cost between 20 and 25 dollars...The gentleman is requesting to know if there is anyone on the lists that were either directly related to her and/or knew her. Please contact me directly at my email _angelameadows3@aol.com_ (mailto:angelameadows3@aol.com) if you have information on her and/or the murder which may assist the writer. **************Ideas to please picky eaters.

We had a DNA test done several yrs. ago because our family surname was Madison, but we had been told our ancestor was a Pace who had changed his name. My brother donated the DNA sample because we needed a male in the direct descendant line.[son of, son of, etc.etc.] The test was sent in under the name Madison, and came back a direct descendant of Pace. Now I have my line back to Richard Pace 1620 from the first American colony in Jamestown Virginia. We had also been told there was Native American from this line, but the test didn't show any. My research found a female Native American as the first wife of my GGGrandfather; our line does not come through his first wife. Our line comes through his third wife, who was Irish. The Native American 'connection' is a legend in many family histories, but it isn't always in your direct line. For me, DNA proved a hundred yr. old legend, and disproved a three hundred yr. old myth.

Chris, how wonderful that a simple procedure can "prove a hundred year old legend and disprove a 300 year old myth. Helen **************Ideas to please picky eaters. Watch video on AOL Living.

I Love stories like this one. In my family there is a legend about a Hessian Soldier. William Severs was the only candidate born l752. I have found a Deserting Hessian soldier named Johannes Wilhelm Siebert who deserted from Savanna GA in June or July of l782. . William Severs married in l793 in Montgomery Co VA and I can find on Severs info in the ll year interim nor anything on JW Siebert after l782. I have traced the Hessian to a family in Metzebach Germany that includes his parents (Anna Rodin and Jost Siebert, and an uncle Johannes WIlhelm Siebert). I have been unable to find any living descendants of that line in Germany as a DNA test might prove something of that legend. I have found a John Colt Severs born about 1950 in California and son of Charles J Severs born around l920 who had traced his line back to Frederick Ballard Severs or his son Samuel B Severs of Muskogee OK. FBS was builder of the Severs Hotel in Muskogee which still exists as a bank building. FBS was a colorful Civil War captain (Confederate) and only white man in an all Indian Creek Indian troop in the CSA. A DNA match with myself was perfect proving a connection through WIlliam Severs l752. I would love to find a desc of the Siebert family in Metzebach Charles Severs In a message dated 02/26/08 10:58:01 Eastern Standard Time, chris286@bellsouth.net writes: We had a DNA test done several yrs. ago because our family surname was Madison, but we had been told our ancestor was a Pace who had changed his name.
