Please pardon me, folks, as I did not intend to post again. In case you do not have a place near home to purchase maps: This packet of maps I purchased, LA 1810 - 1920 = 11 maps. The "original" boundary lines are in black, but under the "original" name of the Parish in lite gray, are the names of what that original became. In one instance, ATTAKAPAS became, Vermilion, St. Mary, Iberia, St. Martin, and Lafayette Parishes. On the front of these maps is the following: Map Guide to the U.S. Federal Censuses by William Thorndale & William Dollarhide. These maps are part of a series for each state. For a list of all states now complete, send a SASE to: American Genealogical Lending Library P O Box 244 Bountiful, UT 84010 Gwen
Hello everyone, Made a call today and found out this about BARNETTE'S FAMILY TREE BOOKS (genealogy) 1. It moved to: Antique Market, 1001 W. Loop N. Houston, Tx 77055 2. Phone #: 713-684-4633 (his answering machine) 713-688-4211 (Antique Market and they will take messages and said he checks quite often for his messages) 3. E-MAIL: mic@BarnettesBooks.com Sorry, I could not retrieve any better information, but perhaps email him. I was trying to obtain a price list, but alias, he did not answer. I have had several emails from folks and the maps I purchased were only for a particular state and the counties back then. I do not know if they have any maps with just cemeteries listed......perhaps someone might know of a site online that might have such an item, if not, maybe it planted a thought for some one to accomplish such a feat. Good luck ! If I find any updated news, will let you know. Gwen
On my next trip to Clayton, possibly next Sat., I will get the name of the store, the address & phone number for all of you and send an email. Gwen
Just wanted to let all of you know in reference to maps: A small genealogical store near the Clayton Library in Houston has "sets" of maps for different states. I have a set of maps for LA (ancestors from there) 1810 - 1920 and do not remember the price, but was not expensive. Also have a single map of the "Republic of Texas" 1836 - 1846 show counties, Indian nationalities, etc. These maps are distributed by: American Genealogical Lending Library P O Box 244 Bountiful, UT 84010 Hope this will help you! Gwen

May I make a suggestion: As I am on several mail list and with all the viruses that are being sent via on-line messages some of the mail list do not list "their names" in the subject line.................so when we send an inquiry start typing in the lister's name in the subject line followed by your subject. Now I am extremely cautious about opening emails without a subject matter listed. Even with all my family members on-line emails, we put in our first name followed by the subject matter in the "subject" box-line. Thanks!

This is a "JUST IN CASE" - FYI: Free database search on http://www.Ancestry.com or www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search/3751.htm (please don't suggest I use the "blue line" of info so all one has to do it "click" on it - I do not prefer that route myself. Should this bother you, please delete the message - that is all you have to do) Woodland Cemetery, Kitchener, Ontario, German War Graves In the rear of the Woodland Cemetery in the City of Kitchener lies a special memorial section devoted to German prisoners of war who died during the First and Second World Wars. Those interred here were brought from 35 different locations throughout Canada to rest with other fallen comrades. This database is a collection of burial records for these men and includes the names of nearly 200. Researchers will find birth, death, and rank information. For researchers of German prisoners of war in Canada, this can be an illuminating collection of records.
Thought you might like to search out this web site......numerous different areas: surnames, states, etc. http://www.distantcousin.com Gwen
This web site may be of interest to someone out there................"Unclaimed Persons" is a web site of deceased loved ones for whom the next of kin has never been located.

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
