To whom it may concern: One of the more difficult tasks in genealogy research is the fact that the surname you are searching for could be labeled, meaning recorded in so many different spellings. The further back your research takes you, the more difficult this task becomes. Since many people did not know how to write, they also may not have known how to spell their own surname. This meant that the actual spelling of the recorded name could vary without intent. In other words, it was completely up to the person recording the name to spell that person’s name. The person recording information had to go by the way the name sounded if they were not familiar with the spelling of a particular name. It sometimes now is referred to as "transliteration" i.e. writing the word as it sounds. For example, Arney, could have been pronounced, "R-nee" (long E) or "R-ni" (long I) or "R-naa" (long A). Another example is it could have been pronounced differently, "Err-nee" (long E) or "Err-ni" (long I) or "Err-naa" (long A). Now the person hearing this pronunciation would have to try to write it. If they were not familiar with the spelling of any of these and the person whose name it was did not know how to spell it either, you have a problem. Even during the first Censuses, the person recording the person's name had this exact problem. That is why you can see that a name might "evolve" in just a few years or more importantly during documentation of different events, like tax rolls, land purchases, wills, etc. Which means that my Arney surname for example could turn up in a wide variety of forms. [Arney, Arne, Arny, Earney, Earny, Erney, Ernigh, Erni, etc.] Now add to this very problem, people with similar sounding or spelling of the same name. There were “Arneys” from Germany, “Arneys” from Switzerland, “Arneys” from England. Sometimes when people arrived in the New World, they changed their name for their new country and home; this complicates things a little more. Then add in the fact that different families married into each other and you really have a problem separating them all, huh. Add to this fact, that many people, just like today, name their children the same common names. So, you can see what a dilemma it is to research your particular family surname. This is why the spelling of the names can vary, and why it is extremely difficult with this confusion occurs in the same area or town. Good blessings separating your relatives and may we all find out the truth, as best we can. Take care and God bless. Stan Arney Wichita, KS --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Good afternoon, The Middle Tennessee Genealogical Society would like to invite members of our sister societies on Rootsweb to our annual "Show and Tell" meeting this Saturday, January 21, at 1 p.m. at the Edmondson Pike Branch of the Nashville Public Library. "Show and Tell" is one of our most popular meetings. It provides an open forum for anyone to bring in a favorite project, artifact, heirloom, photo or other family history material and make a brief presentation. Presentation order is based on first-come; first-served basis and time is apportioned according to the number of speakers we have. If you have not visited our site at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~tntgs> http://www.rootsweb.com/~tntgs - please do so. This past month we have posted 24 new web pages with surnames our members are researching. We invite you to join us. Detailed instructions are on our rootsweb site. When you send email with your surnames, it is always helpful to include as much information as you have - such as counties, years, etc. - as much as you know. Our site: <http://www.mtgs.org/> http://www.mtgs.org has details of our organization you may wish to know. Visit us there also. See you Saturday at the Edmondson Branch.

Hi everyone, Hey, I know I post this question every so often, but I feel if I do not ask, I will never know. I know there are many people researching Arney genealogy. Maybe you have found yourself at a "dead end", meaning you have gone as far back as you possibly can and have hit too many "brick walls". I can understand that, because I have that feeling way too often lately. Maybe you feel like the information is simply "lost" for all time. Maybe you feel that you are finding too much conflicting information and have no idea how to decide what is correct. For those of you who have joined many of the web groups or newsletter groups, I'm certain you have come across at least one of my postings. I'm certain there are many of you who have been doing far more intense research and for even longer than I have. Granted I have mainly followed just the Arney surname of my family back in time. So, I do mainly just follow the males of the family. However, following back in! history, everything was recorded solely on the man's family surname, so this does seem to reason. Anyways, I am looking for anyone who is researching my direct Arney family. Which traces back from Peter Arney, born in 1772 in Tryon (now Lincoln) County, North Carolina. Peter moved to Wythe County, Virginia after 1790, married and started his family. Finally, Peter moved to Overton County, Tennesse where he died in 1845. Peter Arney's father was Jacob Arney, who died in 1784 in Lincoln County, North Carolina. We know that one of Peter's brothers was Christian Arney, who fought during the American Revolutionary War. We know when their father, Jacob Arney died and we know where he died, in Lincoln County, NC. We do not know however where he came from or who his parents were. It was believed that Jacob's father was a Frederick Ernigh, but this has turned out to be false. That puts us Arney genealogy researchers back a step. This is the specific Arney genealogy line, I'm trying to follow. I want to create an Arney genealogy website, with this specific Arney line. So that anyone else who comes after us, will find this information much more easily. Anyone with ties to this direct Arney line, I will try to make sure I have a link to them. That way, if our children or our grandchildren get interested and use the Internet to try to find this information, it will not be as difficult for them nor take them decades to find it, like we did. If you are among this Arney line, someone researching this Arney line, or if you know of a researcher researching this Arney line, please let us help each other solve the "Mystery of Jacob Arney", which is over 200 years in the making. Take care and God bless.

Hi all. It has been some time since I have posted to the list, so thought I’d toss out my Pickett Co. surnames of interest. Would love to correspond with anyone researching the following surnames in and around Pickett Co. BRANNUM CROSS FLOWERS PARSONS PIERCE I am also interested in corresponding with descendants and other relatives of Lemuel C. WRIGHT who was born 1845. Although Lemuel was married, he had several children with my GG Grandmother; therefore he was my GG Grandfather. I have considerable information on each of these families, and will be glad to share what I can about them. Rex W. Bertram 132 S.

He went overseas with anti-aircraft duties. My parents would like to know if he survived the war and where he might be. He had told them that he was from the same town as Cordell Hull, which I believe would be Byrdstown/Pickett Co., TN. Thank you.

The Babbs came from Anderson County, Tennessee while the Beets may have been some of the early teachers at Alpine Academy in Overton County. I know there were Beets there at one time. Gary D.
