Found Bertha and sister Fannie Smith in 1900 and 1910 LCT. Father's name is hard to make out, but looks like Theeron O., mother Martha W. Fannie Byers Smith married Joseph Edd Swaner, son of James Columbus Swaner and Mattie E. Watson. Repeated census years find them in among Story's, Watsons, Hobbs in the Carpenter Hollow area Dist 16. Now who did Brtha marry? May have married a Weiss. Confusion came when I found a James Dee Swaner who is related to Andrew Jackson Swanner. _________________________________________________________________ Don’t just search. Find.

Lookin for Alfred SWANER/SWANNER DOUTHET. In the will of Enoch DOUTHET, Alfred is listed as son of my son Alfred DOUTHET. The will looks as if it says Alfred II is living with Enoch and wife at the time(abt 1864). I cannot find Alfred SWANNER DOUTHET anywhere after that. Any suggestions? _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

Looking for Bertha Smith who is said to be the sister of Fannie Smith. I have many unidentifed pictures of this family and wish to put names to them. Was told this Bertha Smith married a Weiss. Judging from the pics, they lived about 1880's to early 1900's. Pics were taken in Fayetteville and Nashville. Studio in Fayetteville was Anderson Studio. They are somehow related to James Dee Swanner and Andrew Jackosn Swanner. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

I would also like to suggest that writers use capitals to begin sentences, proper names, and elsewhere just like we old timers were taught to do over a half century ago. I just do not read the messages that use all lower case and no puncution marks. That's my complaint. Jim Thomas.

Thanks Tom! Considering that I receive over 50 e-mails a day, I always appreciate those following the appropriate genealogical protocol and listing their surnames in all caps.

You were taught correctly Nancy. In the computer world that is what all capital letters mean - - yelling or emphasizing. Those capitalized words just jump out there as if you are being yelled at. We genealogy geeks are a special group. When reading message boards, it is nice if certain words jump out at you. By capitalizing only the surnames it enables you to quickly scan for those of interest. What is normally considered a nuisance becomes a courtesy if used in the correct manner.

Thanks, Tom for the advice on the capitol letters. Cheryl

Hi Folks: When I first started doing Genealogy many years ago, I didn't know that it was not a custom to use large capitol letters in emails; and often used them. But I soon found the primary reason for not doing so is because large groups of Capitol letters are more difficult to read at a glance; than genealogy messages written in conventional form with limited highlighting in capitol letters. But, perhaps the major reason while doing genealogy, is to be able to call attention to the family names that you are currently researching by using Capitol letters so the names will stand out from the remainder of the text. By putting the FAMILY NAME(s) only in all caps, it calls attention to the family name or subject that you are writing about. Seeing a highlighted FAMILY NAME tends to encourage the reader, especially those who receive a lot of genealogical messages, to stop and read the detail in the incoming message. This is especially applicable when the incoming message relates to a family that the reader is working on and has not been able to find a critical bit of data needed to complete or prove his/her family line. Remember, large massive paragraphs will all capitol letters are more difficult to read than normal type script and short paragraphs. So, it is more productive in genealogy to refrain from using all capitol letters in your outgoing messages. In summary, persons working on FAMILY NAME(s) related to your research will be more inclined to read your incoming message; than just skimming over them, if just the family name is in all caps.

Tom: Did any of your Clouds end up in Ft. Worth, Texas? My husband's grandmother was Ada Cloud, born in Kansas. Her father worked for the railroad. Durning the devastating storm of 1900, they were living in Galveston. She married William Russell Bowen, whose ancestors had the first stone house in Tennessee. That house is still standing outside of Nashville. Ada and Russell ended up in Houston in the 1980's from Dallas when it became apparent that they needed to be close to family members. Ada Cloud Bowen died in 1885 in Houston, Texas. Does any of this compute? If it does, write me and I will give more info on my husband's Clouds.

Nita Fry, Flynn, TX Hi Nita: Thanks for your suggestion regarding the Ysearch.Org. It appears that the address you sent me is no longer useable. Below is the message that I received when I attempted to go there: "The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. " Do you have a more current address?

Go to the familytree dna website. Look there to see if there's a surname project, if there is join it, you get a discount on the price. If not, you can still do the test. They mail the kit to you, you send it back in, and your info is entered into their database, for possible matches. Bob M

Tom: I submitted my dad's DNA like 3 years ago. Be as it may there were only 103 DNA's that matched in the Houston, Family Tree search. Only about 2 who had the same sir name, McDaniel. Dad is 91. So don't feel that all is lost. The family Tree, Houston, says that all the DNA is from father to son. But, I surely find that some of the findings add up to his mother.But then, maybe since we are all related at some time or another, "there was a whole lot of" inter-marriage going on! Well any way, I understand your concern. Carmen McDaniel Forbes Houston, Texas
