Roger, I agree with you completely. I too, may be speaking out of turn, but as a legal professional, I do have a very inquiring mind and sometimes it may not be in the right direction, but when we get frustrated searching for our ancestors it helps to have a few monments of pleasure to get your mind off your frustrating efforts that you have come up against. If I get kicked off the list so be it, but I too am of mixed ancestry and am proud of that fact. As a matter of fact, I am 9/16 Native American and of all kinds of other mixes. I do not want anything (monies) from my ancestors, for I have already enough to take care of myself and that effort was made by hard work and not something that was given to me by the Government for being of a certain race. I am just trying to find out about my ancestors and the trials they had to face being in a new country. I hope EVERYONE has a VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY, no matter what their nationality. Nancy

Would ANYONE have any idea where I might look for the grave of Stephen Farmer and/or Nancy Russell Farmer? He died in Claiborne County, Tennessee, circa 1835 and Nancy circa 1850. (Nancy MAY be here in Harlan County - haven't finished looking yet....) Thanks! Toni Farmer

How sad for this young woman and her family. We have really come a long way with anitbiotics and antibiotic ointments, if she had only been able to have this. Thanks for this obit so we can see what our ancestors had to bear with. � Michelle Beth Bond wrote: > Hi all, > � This little obituary is from "The Times-Dispatch," Richmond, Va., Weds., > Dec. 21, 1904 issue, page 12: > > �������������������������� Miss Mary Novel. > �BRISTOL, TENN., Dec. 20.-Miss Mary Novel, aged twenty, accomplished > daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R.

Well, Maggie, I'm with you...except I'm down here in Florida wishing I could go to my Granny Mary's in Tennessee and have homemade Parker House rolls and some of that Tennessee ham with her once again. I have said before that I am really more interested in how our folks lived and what they did with their lives than I am in what date they were born and what date they died. A little lightening up now and then should be ok when we get so discouraged about not being able to get that hard to find information. Jo...

After you guys get your fill of stew.......look around and see if you can find out who the parents and siblings were of my PATERNAL greatgrandparents: Uriah Nichols, b. 1817 TN and Martha Conatser, b. 1812 TN. Darned if I can find ANYTHING on their parents.

12/2/00 I'm DEFINATELY with you, Maggie. It's hard to come by some of those good ole Southern Recipes, and the one from Nancy in LA is one I've searched for for years. I'm happy I was able to get it before the recipes got cut off the 'heritage List". My precious Grandmother, too, taught me to cook her recipes and I had them all written down, but Mama's house burned while we were overseas in the Army and I lost them all. Don't know why everybody can't ENJOY life a little and stop killing OUR JOY that is so precious to our hearts. Dolores in FL

Hi all, This little obituary is from "The Times-Dispatch," Richmond, Va., Weds., Dec. 21, 1904 issue, page 12: Miss Mary Novel. BRISTOL, TENN., Dec. 20.-Miss Mary Novel, aged twenty, accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Novel, died to-day as the result of a boil in one ear. She was cashier for a leading wholesale firm here. Hope she is in someone's family tree. God bless, Beth [email protected]

Billy Pierce Billy, have you checked www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/Tenn.html?? or www.interments.net/data/search.html There are others giving cemetery listings--or just check at the Johnson City Public Library. Write them--they have a great genealogy room. I know---I got locked in there one night because I didn't realize how late it was and the doors were closed. I had to find the janitor to let me out! Jane G.

Now, ladies, let's all not get into a snit over the stew. Let's be nice now and forget it It's Christmas time! I copied the recipes, now on with the show--love thy neighbor, they have ancestors too.

Going to Alaska till after the first of the year.. so going to unsubscribe.. Wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year.. before I send in the final unsubscribe.. :) HOLIDAY HUGS.. Carolyn

This is NOT a recipe list and it ends here and now. If you want recipes, go to Rootsweb.com, pay your fee and start a recipe list. If anyone has a problem with this, then e-mail me PRIVATELY or unsub from the list. Complaints to me, are running 3-1 against recipes on the list and I must respect the majorities complaints. Anyone arguing this on the list will be unsubbed. Thank You, [email protected] List Manager/TNROOTS-L

Maggie, thank you and may God Bless You. Nancy

Well,,,,I did FIND receipes on the Native American site, what's the difference? Heritage is heritage after all. Nancy

The same to you. Nancy

Ah, Fillimore, they're not trying to fill-you-more, Just be jolly! Lordy, you only live once.

How did recipies become a part of genealogy? This is not what we subscribe to the list for.
