Try this site. It's great! Lana http://istg.rootsweb.com/

My ancestor came from the Atlantic Seaboard, possibly Philadelphia or Baltimore in 1846. Since ship arrival records are scarce for this time frame, is it possible he came to New Orleans and took another ship to Galveston or would he have been on the original ship when he landed at Galveston. Is there a Galveston City Directory for 1847-1850 era? Thanks for reading and any leads/assistance. Tom

Can someone give me a hand finding information about John Flattery? Below is all I have at the present time. I have reason to believe that he raised my Grandmother, Elizabeth Cheek, and her two brothers, James R. Cheek and William M. Cheek. These children were enumerated in the 1880 White County TN Census with their mother Sarah Moss Cheek, Widow; they were age 8, 13 and respectively. Sarah moved with the children to Denison TX after the 1880 Census and died in Denison on 8 Jun 1881. She may have moved to TX due to illness and died within a year. Who raised the children? The foster father must have died, because the foster mother remarried to a Flattery in mid 1880s. The just turned adult children are found in the Galveston City Directory: 1886/1887 James R. Cheek, 1893/1894 Elizabeth Cheek is residing with James R as "Miss Sadie" Cheek. Elizabeth (AKA Lizzie) went to a Catholic High School, so it is assumed that Mr. Flattery was Catholic. From this point I pretty well have all the information on Elizabeth (except where she went to HS) and James R. Cheek; nothing at all on their brother William M. Cheek. I sure would like a City Directory look-up on John Flattery; when did he appear first and last; wife's name when first entered the directory and wife's name when last in the directory. Thanks for any help you can give. Norm Ricker Here is what I have at present on John Flattery: BIOGRAPHY: Residence in Galveston TX; came to Texas in 1867. "Register of Veterans of All Wars". Bertha Ellen. BIRTH: b 1839 Ireland. "Register of Veterans of All Wars". Bertha Ellen. MARRIAGE: John Edward Flattery married Mary Agnes James.

-I can not speak for Galveston County. However, Veterans records are kept at ARPERCEN in St. Louis, MO. You can call # 1-800- -325-4387 and ask for help. It is a big place, and there might be another telephone number. You would have to explain your relationship to Raphael, and to Sivori before they furnished information. Their address is Army Reserve Personnel Center, 9700 Page Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63132. Their records only back so far. Earlier years are at the National Archives. The Spanish American War was from 4/21/1898 to 4/11/1899. You probably could go to Galveston Library/ Genealogy Dept.; and use their computer to get into the National Archives. They have a regional branch office in Texas, that has records for Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. They are located at 501 West Felix St., P.O. Box6216, Fort Worth, TX 76115. Telephone (817) 334-5525. Hours Mon-Fri 8am-4pm. Hope this helps! I get all these messages from TXGALVES, and this is first one where I thought could help. Sincerely, Richard J. Ecuyer

The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 1999 by Richard W. Eastman. It is re- published here with the permission of the author. - Everton's Genealogical Helper Is Now Available Online Everton's Genealogical Helper has been a very popular magazine for genealogists for more than 50 years. The magazine claims to be the largest circulation genealogical publication in the United States. The publishers launched a Web site in the early years of the Internet, but that site was always a supplement to the printed magazine. Now Everton's is making the entire magazine available online to subscribers. Here is this week's announcement: Everton's Genealogical Helper Is Now Available Online Family History: Two Worlds...One Magazine, a First in Genealogy! Logan, Utah - A. Lee Everton, publisher of Everton's Genealogical Helper announces the first real-world interactive family history magazine. The popular magazine, Everton's Genealogical Helper, is now in print and online (http://www.everton.com/genealogy/helper/) with added features. A person can use the print magazine in the traditional way; by sitting at a desk, in a chair, or thumb through the pages in bed and making notations. However, if a person is at a location without their copy of the magazine and has access to the internet, they can easily enter their account number to access the complete magazine online. "A researcher has their 'personal copy' with them anywhere in the world! Hence, Two Worlds...One Magazine", explains Mr. Everton. Added features on the internet include: searching, access to a large article archive, categorized links published in Everton's Genealogical Helper, and an archive of past issues. By using this magazine, a person will have the opportunity to accomplish two things: First, learn how to succeed in genealogy research. And second, effectively prepare and use the internet for their family history research. Why is this important? There are approximately 400,000 websites that offer genealogy in some form. This is very overwhelming to someone beginning his or her online research. Every issue of Everton's Genealogical Helper has categorized weblinks for easy navigation around the vast Internet. This is a time saver and a "mind" saver. People interested in doing their family tree will also have "how-to" and "where-to" articles from professional researchers, tips for the computer, foreign countries, all of which can help them in other research methods.

The best thing to do is to try & get to a library where they have these wars on microfilm or you might have to hire someone to do that research for you. I have no knowledge of anyone that is an expert on this subject in our area, not saying that there isn't anyone. I have not heard of them & am sure that I would as I have been doing research starting on my 22nd year. Best of luck to you in your research. Sincerely, Bertha Ellen Beall Texas City

JAN Your welcome wish it could have been more NEVER know when & where your going to find something:} Lots of good luck on your research Bertha Ellen
