My unix connection somehow went berserk today, and I lost your letter. Besides, I wanted to talk to you about other things! I do not have your email address at the moment. Vince P.S. for the benefit of the group, and so that this email is not in vain for the rest of you, I wish to mention that Rena Worthen will be sending more grave-photos of former residents of Craig County for posting on our (yours and my) homepage at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Fields/3270/

Please tell me where this is... I find Marguerite B. Starke Ferrel is buried there. Vince

Hello to all who are a part of the NIDA/NIDAY/NIDY & von NIDA Families. Here is some important information that I hope will be of interest to you. On 19 Sept 1999, starting about noon, there will be a Family Reunion at the Barboursville City Park in Barboursville, Cabell Co., WV. This is only a few miles from Huntington, WV and very convenient to I-64. This reunion is in its' fourth year, a young but exciting group who decided that it was time that our family became a little better acquainted and break bread with one another. I learned about the reunion while delivering my family history book to cousins that I had never met in the Ohio and West Virginia area . It was a wonderful experience and I am looking forward to spending the day with many of them and meeting more of my relatives in September. Let me invite you and your family to attend this affair if at all possible as we are expecting the biggest turnout ever. I have contacted some of you already and many have promised that they will be in attendance, even from as far away as Oklahoma. This will be an opportunity to meet and talk with many cousins about their family and share interesting stories with each other about them. I would like to see this project expanded to an annual affair with a committee to work on the project each year in different locations of the country. Our family within the past 250 years has scattered throughout the U.S. since our ancestor,Johann David, first came to America. I have been in touch with cousins in California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Massachusetts while researching our family history. It is because of you all that I have spent the last seven years compiling information and publishing The Family von Nida book as a way of preserving that which has gone on before us. With the recent interest in genealogy and the availability of information on the internet, research has become less expensive and much more accessible than in the past. However, there is no substitution for browsing through the old records and archives at the county courthouses, libraries, historical societies, and capital buildings around the country. (If you are getting the idea that I enjoy this sort of thing, you're right!) I know that it is impossible for all of you to attend, but please mark your calendar and consider joining us on the 19th of September. Bring a covered dish, bucket of chicken, pack of soft drinks, iced tea, coffee or whatever you feel like, including a hearty appetite, and a desire to meet other members of your family. Contact me if you would like more information. Hope to see you there. Your cousin, Jack Nida Jonesboro, GA

John Thomas Crawford was born 4 years before Paulina's marriage to George. Does anyone know if the father was George or another person? I know this is a tough one to ask. I also know I will probably never get a clarification. But... Nothing ventured nothing gained! Thanks, Vince

This was a child born out of wedlock to Paulina J. Crawford and is listed with George Washington Ruble's other children. Does anyone know if this child went by the name Ruble? I am listing him as a Crawford since the Bible lists him that way, previously mentioned by me as the Ruble online Bible. Also, his name is listed as Crofford. Does this version of the name come into play with other family members? Was this the actual way of spelling the name?? Or was this added later by a person illiterate? Hmmm... Vince

Hi, folks... Go to this site: http://members.home.net/robtjohnson2/gen/rublebible.htm Here, if you look carefully, you can see the middle initial of William Ruble could easily be mistaken for P., when in fact, it is an A. Vince

Hello, I'd like to thank everyone who responded to my Clark Cousins Of Va query. I'm currently up to my neck in responses from the post. Please be patient and I will get back to you about your Clark of Va query. Those of you who submitted Clark lines for posting I will start that project this weekend. Those of you who offered suggestions I will get in touch with you to discuss those suggestions. If anyone has further info, comments, suggestions please continue to send but please be patient. If you missed the info the first time, you can join the ClarkCousinsofVa email group at http://www.onelist.com/subscribe/ClarkCousinsOfVa You can visit the Clark Cousins Of Va website at http://members.tripod.com/ClarkCousins/ Thanks again for all the interest in the Clark and related lines.

Hello everyone, I'm part of a group of people, researching Clarks and all their related families. We've constructed 6 webpages giving (Direct Line Descendancy's) of the lines from which some of us descend and/or are researching. It's at http://members.tripod.com/ClarkCousins/ (Note: Many of us are cousins who have found each other online while researching Clarks.) If you're researching a Clark line, please drop by and see if we have any information on your Clark line. You might even be another cousin. If you only have one Clark in your family, you might want to drop by and try to find out if you're related to any of us. Keep in mind these are not complete charts, they contain only the basic direct line descendancy of that Clark researcher. If you feel you may have a connection to any of the lines, please contact us at clarkgenealogy@iname.com If your Clark line isn't there already, you can contribute your own Clark line for posting, if you like. It might help you find new family info or maybe even meet a cousin you never knew you had.

Sarah NIDA, b.1845 in Giles Co., now Craig Co., was believed to be married to a MOLES, perhaps from Lee Co. Does anyone have any knowledge of this family in the Craig/Giles Co. area in this time frame? Any help would be appreciated. Jack Nida Jonesboro, GA

The following files were uploaded to the Craig County Archives in May. You may view these files at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/craig.htm If you sent files in May that are not listed here, please resend them. My in-box got corrupted. OH NO! There WERE no new files uploaded during May! Won't you please consider preserving & sharing your treasured documents by submitting a transcription of your own? What a wonderful way to show pride in your heritage while insuring these resources will still be around for future generations! Any help you are able to provide would be deeply appreciated. Thank you, Jeannie Watts, archivist.

What a nice treat, Rena! Another opportunity to find living descendants or other data! I have found that using the SSDI and appropriate zip code has been a great combination, as has surname and county name in Ancestry's Virginia Marriages Lookup! Looks like another great day, thanks to you! Vince

Thanks any way for checking. I great appreciate it.
