Hi, listers. Am new to this list and am seeking info on John L. GARWOOD, known as Col. Garwood, b. 1836 in NJ (?); d. 1936 in Bremond, Robertson County. He owned a hotel there & possibly in Montgomery County at one time. He was a sheriff and a Justice. He died at the age of 99. A little has been written about him because of his advanced age and position in the community. There is no info regarding his birthplace or parents on his death cert. Nothing has been found here in NJ so far. Am sorry for the lack of information but possibly someone is familiar with the last name? Maybe a descendant is in the area?? Were there any records kept during that time period in Texas that might contain some information? His marriage license also lacks information of his parents. Thanks for your time; sorry for rambling!

Hello Everyone We have added 22 new 1600's ancestors and included their children on the Ancestor Roll of Honor on America's First Families web site at; http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/ When you enter the site, scroll down to near the bottom of the page where the Ancestor Roll of Honor is located. On the same page you will also find a link to the 1600's Ancestor Data Base that contains over 14,000 names of proven ancestors from that era. Enjoy Harold Oliver Director

If you have Montgomery County family webpages on line, I would like to link to them. thanks, Jane Sanford Keppler sponsor for Montgomery County Shelby County Tx DeSoto Parish LA

My brother goes to auctions where they auction the contents on mini storgage buildings. Anyway a few months ago, he brought one and gave me some Bibles that were in there. If anyone knows these people or are related, I would be glad to put them in the right hands. One is SMITH--Versey Smith, b. 1903 md to Myrtle Avants. The other looks to be TANNER. It was given to "Mother and Daddy", in 1974 by Linda Gayle Tanner. There is also a copy of a birth certificate for John Risner in it and a few pictures. Not a lot of information in either, but someone might like to have it. Jane Sanford Keppler sponsor for Montgomery County, TX Shelby TX DeSoto Parish, LA

To All Whom It May Concern: The purpose of this message is to inform all genealogists & researchers who subscribe to TEXAS Rootsweb Lists, of a very important web site that now has a searchable database of over 1,650 U.S. Regular Army soldiers who once served at the short-lived Buffalo Barracks, between 1835 and 1846. Many of these soldiers had fought in the Indian Wars in Florida and also the War with Mexican, and then the Civil War. It is without doubt that some of the descendants of these men are most likely in every county of the great state of Texas. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT: The 1840 Census of Buffalo, NY lists Colonel James M. Bankhead, of Virginia, and a total 'quantity' of 671 individuals, ranging in age from 1 to 60, as being under his command and/or responsibility. Unfortunately, the census does not list each of these barracks residents by name....only by 'quantity.' (ie. 426 males 20-30 yrs, or 34 females 20-30 yrs) HOWEVER, The Buffalo Barracks Historical Web Site has turned most of the 'quantities' into actual names. The list of these officers and soldiers (and some of their wifes and dependants...see the Barracks Notebook section) are available, free of any charge. The URL for this outstanding web site is: [ http://www.buffalonet.org/army ] There, you will discover the "Descriptive & Historical Register Data of Enlisted Soldiers in the U.S. Army," for those who served at this federal military post on the Niagara Frontier. Also available is a wealth of rare and interesting information pertaining to the Buffalo Barracks and it's unique historic value. I encourage everyone to take the time to visit this site. Perhaps you have an ancestor who once served there? Enjoy your visit, Cliff Williams 104740.372@compuserve.com buffalobarracks@hotbot.com

I have not been told exactly what will be available but know at least the Ancestral File and Family History Library Catalog will be included. Family Search is the name of the program we have on CDs in all LDS FHCs. Some public libraries also have this program. FS includes the IGI, Ancestral File, Family History Library Catalog, Social Security Death Records, Koran and Vietnam war death records, and Scottish Church Records. For those of you not familiar with the various searches, the IGI is the International Genealogical Index. It includes, in alphabetical order, all of the names that have been sent to the Temples to have ordinances performed in their name. Names in the IGI are usually submitted by members, but not always. Non-members also submit their family names to get them into the IGI. Some of the marriages may have been part of extraction programs. The names were taken from courthouse records and checked and rechecked by several volunteers before being accepted as correct. Most people do try to send in accurate information but there are many mistakes. My advice is, always check the original source. Use the IGI to find where people with your surname would have lived and order the census and court records from that area. Ancestral File is Gedcoms of group and pedigree sheets sent in by members and non-members. The name and address of the submitter is included and hopefully will allow you to contact others working on your line. If the address is out of date sometimes a letter to the Membership dept. in Salt Lake will get you a correct address if the person was a member of the LDS church. Once again, the material is only as good as the research that went into it and some of it is pretty bad. Check it out before you 'adopt' it. If you find a mistake on Ancestral File, you can send in your corrections, along with your sources of proof, and it will be noted in the next update. The first submitter does not have to provide proof, but you do, if you are making a correction. You can add additions to a file, or submit a new file. You do not have to be a member to submit material. The Family History Library Catalog is a listing of every book, film and fiche available at the Salt Lake City LDS Family History Library. This allows us to find what is available for each locality, world-wide. It includes the FHL call numbers and a description of what is included in the film/fiche or book. The material from the books and film/fiche will not be on line. That is not something they can do, at this time. Hopefully it will be a possibility some time in the distant future. The film and fiche will still have to be ordered through FHC. Microfilm and microfiche are the property of the FHL and are sent into the care of the LDS FHC director and must remain under her/his care until returned. For this reason they are never allowed to be taken from the LDS FHC. Almost all of the microfilm and microfiche at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City can be ordered into any LDS FHL, anywhere in the world, but there are a few exceptions. Copyright laws prevent them from using material without the written consent of the owner. Some of the film and fiche where filmed by companies other than the LDS Church and permission to circulate these film to LDS FHCs has been denied. There will be a notice included in the description, saying it can not be circulated. Many of the SC microfilm where made by a company who has refused permission to allow the film to be circulated, but there are many microfilm available for SC, some covering the same material that is on the restricted film. The LDS FHL is a non-profit organization, and that is why it still cost only 15 cents a sheet for a microfiche, $3.25 plus tax to rent a microfilm for a month [may be more in other countries] and the SourceGuide and other home use programs are sold at such a reasonable price. We aren't allowed to make a profit, even in the FHCs. The books that are listed are not loaned out but can sometimes be obtained through an Inter-library loan through your public library. You can request copies of pages and if a book is indexed, by ordering the index you can see if your people would have been listed. In cases where the copyright has expired the book may have been filmed or can be filmed upon request. Never hurts to ask.

I just transcribed the first cemetery and it is on line. It is Hickory Grove. I plan to have more to follow, so if anyone has time to go out and transcribe let me know and I'll get in on the webpage.

You who are putting up new web sites or who are updating them for the new year -- Do you know what the largest single complaint is about the dozens of new websites offered to genealogical researchers? Not citing sources!! Results of a recent poll on using internet rescues put this complaint on the top of the list! It also is the biggest single factor in rejecting sites nominated for the prestigious Siggy award from USIGS. No citing -- no citation. John Gideon, who chairs the Siggy award committee, calls attention to the problems of not citing sources in an article in the latest Signal, biweekly newsletter of USIGS. <A HREF="http://www.usigs.org/signal/99-01-1.htm#lincoln">Click here: USIGS SIGNAL January 1, 1999</A> or try http>//www.usigs.org/signal/signal.htm I for one deeply appreciate all of you who have directed me to your websites, especially those USGenweb pages for individual counties. On many I have found some great information, and some great clues. But I too have been frustrated by the lack of documentation. A great New Year's Resolution, everybody? No longer sighting uncitely sites -- we can say we "sank same!" love joan

For those who missed the meeting Monday night, it was very interesting. Our new slate of officers did an outstanding job on the program. The topic was FYI(For Your Information). Lena Truster, our new president talked about How Our Society Came to Be. Jack Morton, treasurer talked about the Hall of Fame award. Gene Tannery talked about publishing family history in book form. Emery Heuermann, editor of the Herald, talked about publishing family history in short form (booklet, pamphlet) as well as the Herald. Vera Meek Winberly, corresponding secretary talked about the Criteria for Early Settlers. This was news to me. If your ancestors were in Montgomery County in 1861 you could qualify for this progam. Email Vera at meekie@lcc.net and she will send you an application. I will adding information on the webpage in my spare time (what little there is). I'm working on redoing the cemetery page with directions. If you have transcribed any cemeteries and would like to share that, please email me. Or if you have anything else you would like to share for the webpage, just let me know. Jane Keppler sponsor for Montgomery County, TX Shelby Co. TX DeSoto Parish, LA
