I have had a few comments that my list rules came through garbled on the D mode, so I am reposting them. I do not like to have to do this, but there is no way that everyone on the list can see the complaints I have received privately regarding the latest "recipe" subject. You also cannot see how many people have unsubscribed due to the "unrelated to genealogy" topic. Unlike most lists, I do not allow posting of Jokes, Flames, Holiday Greetings, Politics, Boycotts, Prayers, Missing Children's Alerts, Virus Warnings, or anything else along those lines that gets folks excited. While your intentions may be admirable, this is not a forum for those sort of things. If you have a problem with someone on this list, keep it private. I will not tolerate publicly humiliating anyone via the list. With over 200 folks on the list, we'd be inundated with junk mail on a daily basis, if I allowed that to happen. It does happen occasionally, but I always warn the person privately, that it's not acceptable and that usually does it. Repeated offences will get you unsubscribed. Thank You, [email protected] List Manager/TNROOTS-L

Me,too. My husband family was from New Brunswick, Canada. Wales and Irish. McConnick changed to Connick when they came stateside.

As a lot of you know, I am searching for the family of my gggrandfather, Leonard Sanford Brown. This is all I truly want for Christmas, so I am going to go into detail to see if I can find anyone who knows who his parents are. I do have some new information to post. Leonard was born in 1837 KY and died 1929 IN. He was married to Polly Ann Rippy, dau of John and Elizabeth Robinson Rippy from Sumner Co. Tenn. The Rippy's moved to Clark Co. IN just prior to Polly Ann's birth in 1841. In the 1860 Wood Twp Clark Co. IN census there is: Family 76 Brown Nancy 58 NC Brown James 30 IN Family 77 Brown Henry 25 TN Brown Nancy (RIPPY) 30 TN Brown Abigail A. 5 IN Brown Isaac 1 IN Family 79 Rippy John 60 NC Rippy Elizabeth 50 TN Rippy Eliza 19 IN Rippy Mary Ann 17 IN Rippy Suqure J. 15 IN male Family 80 Brown John 25 KY Brown Maria(Rippy) 23 IN Brown Leonard 21 KY Mahnron (Mahuron?) James W. 15 IN Strowd William R. 14 IN 1850 Federal Census Clark Co. IN Wood Twp. Rippy John 50 Farmer NC Rippy Elizabeth 47 TN Rippy Nancy 23 IN Rippy Rosi A. 21 IN Rippy Malinda 16 IN Rippy Maria 14 IN Rippy Harriet S. 15 IN Rippy Eliza 10 IN Rippy Polly Ann 8 IN Rippy John 5 IN About 3 doors down Brown Isaac farmer NC Brown Nancy 45 NC Brown Jas 21 IN male Brown Jiney 19 IN female Brown Henry 17 IN Brown Elizabeth 13 IN I would imagine Henry Brown son of Isaac is Nancy's husband, but I can't help wondering if there is more to it. Leonard m. to Polly Rippy and his brother John married to Maria Rippy, her sister. John Brown m. Maria fought and died in the Civil War. They had two children, twins, Henry and Elizabeth. In 1867 Maria was remarried to David H. Goss of Clark Co. She and David Goss are buried in Washington Co. IN just across the line from Clark Co. IN. Leonard also fought in the Civil War and he and Polly are buried in Walnut Hill, Wood Twp, Clark Co. IN where they raised their family. In the 1880 Wood Twp, Clark Co. IN census, Family 72 Brown Lenord? 42 cooper b. KY parents born KY Brown Polly A. 37 wife Brown John S. 16 son IN Brown Mariah E. 14 dau IN Brown Nancy A. 11 dau IN Brown Abigill 9 dau IN my ggrandmother Brown Millburn 8 son IN Brown Lafayette 4 son IN Brown Liza E. 4 mos dau Family 73 Brown Henry G. IN 46 huckster Brown Nancy 52 wife TN Brown Polly A. 17 dau IN single Brown Isaac 21 son married Brown Nancy J. 19 dau-in-law married Brown Millburn 23 servant single Brown Rettie 9 niece IN As you can see, so many of the names are the same, it leads me to believe that the children were named after aunts and uncles. I appreciate anyone who has taken the time to read this and I hope you can help me or keep this for future reference. I am sorry so many of you have received this more than once. I just want to be sure everyone sees it. Thanks, Marcia

According to one of my cookbooks, both Brunswick County, Virginia, and Brunswick County, North Carolina claim that Brunswick Stew was invented there. I have also seen it attributed to Brunswick, Maryland. At the very least, it's east coast and southern.

Just a few little rules regarding the list.

For all of us who sometime wonder if what we are doing is worthwhile, I am printing an excerpt from an e-mail from my sister-in-law. She had found photographs at a yard sale, and had purchased them with the hope that she could find the family - Eureka! A connection has been made and the photos are on the way to the family. "The most wonderful thing has happened. Do you remember those black and white photos I bought at a yard sale for a quarter? They were of young soldiers in Japan.

HI List, If I may also offer a defense to this also. I agree with what Dr. Maggie said about friendly exchanges like this, even if it seems to be a little off the subject. You know a lot of business has been done while playing golf. A lot of vital clues in family research can be discovered with these friendly exchanges. We kind of forget that we are, for the most part, a Heinz mixture of people. When we exchange with each other recipes that have been handed down in our families for generations, customs, traditions, how we celebrate our holidays, even word phrases, we are still doing genealogy, still tracing our roots. All of these things have roots in the different nationalities that make up this country. DO NOT OVERLOOK THEM!! When somebody says that my Moms grandmother, who lived in Tennessee, used to make a chocolate gravy for her when she came to visit, and the grandmother said that her grandmother used to make it for her out of special chocolate she brought with her from Germany, it could ring a bell with someone about where they should look next in the United States or another country. Don't ever overlook any offering like this. And, if fact, it would behoove all of these lists to have exchanges like this periodically or around holidays or if anyone runs across a site that relates to this very subject, pass it along. Remember, to do family research you must conduct yourself almost like a private investigator looking for clues to a mystery. Don't leave anything unturned. It also makes your story more interesting. I may have also stepped out of turn here also.

Just curious as to why it is called "Brunswick Stew?' I have it on the stove now--thanks to the recipe sender. I almost cried when I read it because my mother used to prepare stew the same way and I forgot how she did it. Thank you, Jane G.
