New to the list. John (Jack) McAnally from DeKalb, IL Found Sterling McAllany on the 1880 census in Falls Co., TX and am sure this was really Sterling McAnally. His age, birth location, and profession all match our McAnally individual. Sterling McAllany has stepchildren listed on the 1880 census Jesse, age 20, R.T. age 18 and W.M. age 17 all born in Arkansas. Sterling McAnally has been found on the 1870 census in Benton Co., Arkansas with correlating age, occupation and birth location but different wife and his own children. Any McAnally or Collins related to this information?

I'll tell you more about it after I locate it, but it has LOTS of genealogy in it for the Wrights.

Peggy, I have no idea what I'm doing, but here goes! I am grandson to Luke P Russell and Allie Moore Russell, daughter of R T Moore. I'm trying to dig up some info on both of them, i.e. birth places, parents etc. LP died in 1934 and is buried in Cavalry Cem, RT is buried in Waite Cem. I came to Marlin and went to the court house, but didn't find much...due to my own ignorance. I'll be happy to come back if I could get a little guidance..Any help would be appreciated. Surely would like to hear from you or someone! John Russell Mayhew

I remember seeing a dilapidated one room school house in Alto Springs Community some time in the early 1930's (I Think) Would like to know more about it. Also, where can I find to purchase a copy of "Families of Falls County" Thanks, Reese Henry
Donna, I have the book about the schools of Marlin, TX from the 1840's to 1960. I have been unable to find a Jewel Patterson as a teacher. Do you know her married name? She would probably be listed by that name if she taught in Marlin.

Dear Kathleen, Sometimes could you make a list of books that might interest geneolgy reachers. I belong to a Society that buys books for our library but have a hard time finding books on Tex. Counties.I do know is some I have looked at there is a wealth of information. You have to know they are there before you can find them. Thank you, Peggy
This question was put to me and I think it would be a good idea for each of you to post your favorite Falls Co., TX research books, and feel free to post other counties also.

Dear List Members, If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fullers Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the archived messages of this list or any other Rootsweb mailing list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now, the hardest thing is, when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents when they send their unhappiness to the entire list. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at Kathleen.burnett@era.com or in the evenings at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me.
