Here is a neat site where you can put in the name of someone who served in the Civil War (either side) and get information. The site is handled by the National Park Service and is called the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors System. Also gives a short history of the unit that the individual served in. Check it out here: http://www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/ Cheers, Noel

That is a really neat and fun sight Noel -- thanks!! lots of information to digest!! Betty McBee macbetty@worldshare.net

I recieved this from another list and thought it was pretty neat ,so I am sharing with you . Searching the data base on the sight produced lots of surnames for me-----Betty To everyone--go into the OBITUARY DAILY TIMES site <http://www.rootsweb.com/~obituary> and you can find out who the moderators are for the various states and countries as well as find a list of all the newspapers which have persons who index their obits to the Daily Times. If no one is indexing for your particular city, then you will have to write directly to the newspaper. This is a fascinating site.

Hi all hope your summer is going quite well . I have a few questions for any one that can answer them, please. In the 1900 census , district 15 taken by James H. Harris Enumerator, would that be Whitwell area? Where all would that district take in? I notice there are a lot of coak pullers, what exactly was that doing? thanks any help would be greatly appreciated. Betty McBee macbetty@worldshare.net

I recieved this from Bonnie Hill off anther list, and thought I would share it with all of you . ---Betty For you and for anyone else interested in the Dawes Rolls, go to the internet and type in www.google.com. (this is a really good search engine and VERY fast) When Google comes up type in "guion+miller" in just that way and the first page will be the Dawes and Guion (pronounced Gee-on) Miller rolls. (the final ones). HOWEVER there are more Indian rolls than there are Federal Censuses so if you don't find them there, check the rest of them. Everytime the government turned around, they made a roll of them.

oops I sent that before I checked it out. I had problems pulling it up --In fact I couldn't pull it up------It may just be my possessed computer again. Anyway hope it works for you. (Mo. birth and death records at the Mo. archives) Betty

I recieved this from another list and again thought I should share with you too. :-) Betty I know that several families moved on to Missouri so I thought I would send this along. This note from Gerald Hirsch of the Mo State Archives: "I am pleased to announce that the transcribed Birth and Death records are now available on the Missouri State Archives' web site located at href>http://mosl.sos.state.mo.us/rec-man/arch.html. "

Recieved this from another list and thought I would share it with all of you too--Betty McBee ----- > For those of you researching in California or Texas, here are some new > search engines: > > The following Vital Records for California are now online: > > Births (1905-1995): http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ca/birth/search.cgi > > Death (1940-1997): http://userdb.rootsweb.com/ca/death/search.cgi > > For Texas the following records are online: Birth - 1926 - 1995; > Marriages - 1966 - 1997; Divorces: 1968 - 1997; Deaths: 1964 - 1998: > > http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/graphics/texas.html

Could anyone tell me if there was a Reverend John Brooks in the county in 1870? I just received a copy from a Bible page, stating that my gr-gr-grandparents, Elizabeth Mould and George Gillingham were married in Etna, Marion Co. by him on March 17, 1870. I'd like to confirm their location as I had previously believed they only lived in Tioga and Clearfield Counties in Penna. Thanks for any assistance! Dorothy Houston, TX

I would appreciate it if someone would post the date for the reunion/cleanup at Teague Cemetery. I am descended from William Holloway and would like to be present. Thank you. Nancy Urban

Someone sent an URL on certificates and articles of the Cold War (neuclar). Could u please re-post that, I have lost it. Thanks

Frances (Fannie) Ladd was born in 1841 in Marion County. Her parents were George W. T. and Sarah Holly Ladd. At some point she married A. J. Roberts. In 1895- 1896 she was in Marion County participating in a settlement of G. W. T. Ladds' estate. Does any one have any information on Fannie, what happened to her and the Roberts' descendants? Would appreciate any help, Jim Duncan in AZ

I received this from Bradley county Tn, Cathy Hall, and thought I would pass it on to all of you too. It is as follows----------------------Betty McBee macbetty@worldshare.net I received this through another list, and thought it contained some great information, so am passing on to you all! ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Wednesday, May 10, 2000 8:11 AM Subject: [TransylvanCoGenList] How to do Research on the Internet!
