Hi, I am looking for information on how to contact SHIRLEY J. TURNER who wrote a genealogy paper entitled "Ancestors and Descendants of Fielding Turner: England, Ireland, NC and MO". It was submitted to the Family History Writing Contest of the NGS in 1983. At that time, Shirley was living in Tucson, AZ. Can anyone give me information on her? Thanks, Pam PSulzer@aol.com

Thomas Lafayette went to Christian Co, Ky some time before Nov. 1, 1896, as that is the date that he married Miss Jimmie Lee Vaughn. To this union was born Henry Leander on Nov. 19, 1889 in Christian Co, Ky. Henry wed Miss Ella Robinson in Cloves, NM, Sept, 1930 Thomas (Tom) left this earth after being thrown from a mule and dragged to death. Thomas had the following siblings; Charles, Will, Flavins, Nannie, "Sister," all believed to have been born in Tn and migrated to Ky. Sure hope someone "knows" these people! Mary

My English Turners (anybody recognize them?): James and Thomas, born 1832 and 1834, Lancashire England, supposedly in Bury, near Manchester, but I haven't been able to find their christening records yet. Other siblings possible. Parents Robert and Sarah. Possibly the Robert and Sarah (Schofield) married 1830 in Prestwich, Lancashire, England, but not established for certain. James and Thomas emigrated to the US in 1850, were cotton mill weavers in Providence, New Bedford, and Salem, MA, and fought in the Civil War out of the Rhode Island Volunteers. James settled and had family in Haverhill, MA. ********* I haven't been doing much with this line lately, due to frustration at lack of immediate success, but I plan to restart soon. For English research, I use my Family History Center. I've had great luck with other English lines, but then again, they emigrated later-- 1870s and 80s. I think it's tougher the earlier you go, especially if your last guy out was born pre-1837, which is when English Civil Registration started. Also, it depends how long your people stayed in one parish. If they moved around a lot, like my Industrial Revolution-worker Turners, then they become tougher to trace back.

Looking for Mary Polly FENNELL. She was born abt 1808 in possibly Early CO, GA. She married James C. TURNER on Mar 12, 1825 in Early CO, GA. They moved to AL in abt 1826. They had the following known children; Alexander, Elizabeth Jane, John, Dempsey, Rutha, Joseph A., Sarah, Caroline, Dicy Ann, Clem Fennell, Henry C. and one unknown. Alexander and Elizabeth were born in AL. John, Dempsey, Rutha, Josephe A, Sarah and Caroline were born in FL. Dicy Ann and Clem Fennell were born in AL and Henry C. was born in Leon Co, TX. Clem and three of his borothers were captured a Vicksburg, MS. They enlisted in Alexanderia, LA in 1862. James received a land grant in west FL after serving in the Creek Indian War. He and Mary settled in Walton CO, FL in 1830. He died on May 24, 1853 while he was living in Holmes CO, FL. Mary died abt 1890 in Holmes CO. Mary's father may have been Clement FENNELL who died in Laurens CO, GA in 1821, but I have no proof at this time. Mary had a sister-in-law named Ruth CAREY who married Alexander, James' brother, this was her second marriage. Rutha's first husband was Dempsey FENNELL. Alexander was the administrator to the estate of Clement FENNEL in Nov 6, 1821. I hope to find more information regarding this family. Georgann whunter@ktc.com

Hi all, hope you didn't get more than one copy of this. It's a new year, lots of new people on the lists with new computers. Welcome. Hope springs eternal- or is that annually- in the genealogist's fevered brain. Have you seen my grandfather: TURNER, John W., b 29 Apr 1842, Davidson Co., TN; d 4 Nov 1909, Jefferson Co., IL; buried Gilead Church Cemetery, Jefferson Co., IL; m BALDRIDGE, Martha L., probably Jefferson Co., IL. Happy New Year and best wishes, Floyd E. Turner mailto:floydt@erinet.com

Thanks to Barbara Ware, I have learned my great-grandfather's name: Monroe TURNER, born between 1855-1890. Monroe married Maggie HENDERSON and they had Alcus Alvin TURNER in Pensacola, FL in 1907. Alcus was in the army during WW2 and later lived in Lakeland, Polk Co., FL. He worked as a meat cutter for Publix Markets in Lakeland, Alcus married: 1. Blondie Mae FORD in North Carolina about 1930. In Kings MT, NC, they had twin boys, Alvin Alcus, Jr. (not sure why he was a "junior" when his first and middle names were the reverse of his father's), and Alton, born dead. The twins each had one green eye and one blue. Having seen my father's (Alvin's) eyes a million times (+/- 100,000) or so, I can verify that to be true for him. Alcus married: 2. Someone and they had Several Others. Alcus married: 3. Hester and they had No One. Alcus died 1958 during a visit to Tampa, FL. Any information on Monroe Turner, Maggie Henderson, or Alcus Turner will be gladly exchanged where possible and truly appreciated.

Hi I'm new to this list, but have been hunting Turners for years. My grandmother was Mittie Gertrude Turner, b. 1891 d. 1970 in Texas, her father was Issac Campbell Turner b. 1854 d. 1908 in Texas, and his father was Madison (Matt) Turner b. 1824 in Warren Co.,Tenn. d. 1902 in Texas. I heard his father was William John Turner from North Carolina, but have not been able to prove this yet. If anyone has any info that might connect would love to hear from you. Thank you Barbara Smith

If any of you are RootsWeb members and would like to manage the GenConnect boards for this surname, they became available this month (separate ones for wills, pensions, bios, obits, deeds, bible records, and queries). http://cgi.rootsweb.com/%7Egenbbs/indx/FamAssoc.html http://cgi.rootsweb.com/%7Egenbbs/AdminCenter/maint.html The GenConect boards work best in tandem with the list, if I understand it correctly - it certainly looks as if they would help us. When search engines look for surnames, these boards will show up. Cousins not on the list will also see our posts. Hopefully, they will join us for research and working together on the list, but the boards should get more attention from surfers. The wills, deeds, bios, etc. boards are for adding data so that we will all have the opportunity to look at it online easily. The person in charge of the board is sent a copy by e-mail of everything that is entered, as it is entered. There is also an e-mail list for folks who are managing the boards, and questions can be asked there if there is something you do not understand.

I also had trouble getting in and instead just went to www.ancestry.com and had no trouble getting in. Searched to hy heart's content for 2 1/2 hrs. Found some wonderful things.

William TURNER m. 14 Aug 1781 Orange Co., NC to Ruth STANDIFORD. Known children were Andrew, Isreal, Ruth, and probably others. Does anyone know the parents and siblings of William and where they were prior to Orange Co.? Cathie

The technician at Ancestry.com told me that they are working on the site throughout the month (one reason for the free promotion). He said if there were problems accessing the site during that time, wait a while and try again. If you still cannot connect, you should make sure that you have selected "Accept all cookies" in the Preferences or Options (Advanced) dialogue box of your browser. Then you should close and reopen your browser. There is no need to restart your computer. If you are an Ancestry.com subscriber, you do not need to log-in during the promotion month. Before I knew the site was open to all, my attempts to log-in brought up the user name/password error screen. After following the technician's suggestions, (cookies, close, open, no log-in) I was able to connect, search and browse without difficulty.

>>I filled out the information to sign up, then got an error message. >>Tried again and the same thing happened. >> >>Is the fault mine or theirs??? > >You need to have cookies on. I found it easier to sign up under Netscape than Explorer. Be sure, too, to use the correct number of characters in your password. Under Explorer you may not be getting the full error response back, so perhaps try a *very* unusual user name, like XYZ0991203947 . It may be trying to tell you (as it did me) that your username is already in use...
