Hello John, Does any of your clan happen to have married into the Wesson and Walter William Baldin famil descendants, of Toledo? Also Does anyone of them happen to have married into, Pumphrey's, Layton's, Griffith, Bland, Bridges, Bowen, Kalista. Lane's and others of the area late 1800 and since to todate? I am descended from Wesson Baldwin, John Hamilton and his two bro's, William and Francis "Frank" Pumphrey who came to Toledo area after 1855 to 1870's? They ended up connected to all these other names and more. Would like to hear from anyone connected to any of these names...

Glad to hear from you. We will need to exchange names and addresses, this is how we prove Ancestry.com has problems. We need one more witness, then we can contact Ancestry Support. They always ask about anyone else having problem's and if you don't have any other names, they discard the message's. It's called passing the buck! I believe we can help each other this way.

Hi list I also want to say that I am not pleased with Ancestry. Com. I paid for the yearly fee in the midst of taking of my very ill son. In that chaos, I forgot my password. I E-mailed several times to the address given on the site for my password to be sent by E-mail to me. That was its purpose. However, all I got was dead silence from that end. Thus, I lost 1/2 years ability to use the sites which required a password.

> THE FAMILY REUNION > by Cheralynn (Charlee) Wilson <charwil@nmia.com> > > It's summer, which means family reunions. Every other year, we > have a reunion for my parents' descendants. My folks live in > what was a "shelter over a picnic table" in New Mexico's Jemez > mountains. It's grown to a 3-story permanent residence and has > slept more than 50 people, 18 dogs, and a cat in a single week- > end. This is where we congregate. > Our reunions are not dull. The first one (1994) was so exciting > we almost decided to cancel further reunions, figuring (hoping?) > we'd never top it. Among the memorable events was the rappelling > incident in which my eldest daughter caught her hair in a > carabiner, and was suspended mid-way down a cliff. My brother, > the ex-Marine, went down on a safety rope to free her. To do > this, he required "The One Who Doesn't Hug" to entwine her legs > and arms around his body. He planned to lift her enough to free > her hair, but in doing so, managed to slip and get his T-shirt > caught in his carabiner. Now they were both caught, and to make > matters worse, his rope had slipped snugly around the most > tender part of his anatomy. To free his T-shirt, he opened his > pocket knife with his teeth and began sawing away at the > material which was about two inches away from my daughter's > face. Cut free, the added weight dropped them further, painfully > tightening the noose on his nether regions. The sensation caused > him to drop his open knife which fell point down into the > ground, narrowly missing a nephew. At this point, my sister-in- > law, who was filming the whole thing, ran out of tape, so we > missed seeing how Brother and Daughter got out of the mess. > Brother sang soprano for a few hours. A nearby rock-climbing > class witnessed the proceedings open-mouthed. Some of them quitthe class. > That night, after getting hordes of offspring to bed in tents, > cars, lofts, etc., the adults settled down for a cup of hot > chocolate. It began to rain -- a real frog-strangler, complete > with sound and fury. Lightning struck, rattling windows. I > yelled and grabbed a passing teenager, causing her to throw hot > chocolate on several relatives who yelled and stampeded. Lights > flickered. Another bolt hit with a loud crackle-boom. The lights > went out. Mojo (our St. Bernard/Great Pyrenees puppy) went > cracker-dog, yelping and running hysterically over and under > furniture, triggering a round of the "Howlelujah Chorus" from > the other dogs, whose owners began to shout and chase their > dogs, stomping on people & critters and waking the children > in the loft who began to scream because the lights were off. > The Tent and Car People ran inside, wet and shaking. I crawled > under a bed with one of the Siberian Huskies. Next morning, we > found that a huge pine tree next to the cabin had been hit, > exploding bark in all directions. To commemorate the occasion, > the ex-Marine carved the date and event into a piece of the > bark. It hangs in the family room today. > During outdoor church services, one Siberian Husky found a > porcupine, which goes to show what happens to dogs who don't > attend church. What a mess! Hubby, who had found a semi- > legitimate excuse to miss this reunion, got to share in the last > part when we drove into town and picked him up on the way to the > vet. When he heard about all the fun he'd missed, he got tears > in his eyes, and we could tell he was sorry. > Reunions are a lot of work, both for those planning and those > attending. The ultimate test of family endurance happens when > Mother's clan camps for four days in southern Colorado. There > are more than 250 of us, not counting dogs and friends. It is > not my idea of fun to pack everything we own and sleep in a tent > with wet, cowering dogs inside and vicious wild animals and > sneaky teen-aged relatives outside. I do not enjoy port-a- > potties, especially by the fourth day when the pre-school boys > in camp have figured out that the basin on the side is not for > washing hands, and consider it a matter of honor to use it as it > was intended. I am not fond of cooking on a Coleman stove, > although, in the mountains, people expect all meals to taste > basically the same -- burned or raw. I do not relish being hit > with five gallons of water traveling at 30 miles per hour in the > traditional water fight, although my sons-in-law tell me this is > their favorite part. It's the only time they may abuse me with > impunity. I do not like the 3 a.m. hike to the outhouse because > I can't resist the bedtime Peppermint Patty (hot chocolate made > with peppermint tea). It either rains, or it is dry and the > talcum powder dust coats everything. > So, why do I go? Maybe it's because I love to see all the little > kids call each other "Cousin" -- they never bother to learn > names. Maybe it's because we have kids with every shade of skin > and hair, and two hours after we arrive, they're all the same > color -- dust or mud. Maybe it's the demonic giggle from a five- > year-old throwing a cup of water on his Nanny during the water > fight, knowing this is the only time he'll ever get away with it. > Maybe it's the clusters of teenagers plotting to put Ora-Jel in > someone's toothpaste. Maybe it's the family church session or > the visits around the campfire when we hear new jokes and old > ghost stories. But, mostly, it's the magic it works on kids. In > these troubled days, when families are crumbling, reunions give > our children security in belonging. Whether they achieve great > things, whether they are "just folks," or rotten as year-old > eggs, they know that they are loved unconditionally.
