My Great Great Grandparents were Andrew Henry Hanger and Sarah Caroline Foster Hanger. Their daughter Celia married Thomas William Nickels in 1900 in buchanan County Virginia and they moved with the Hanger Families to Pe Ell Washington. He was back in Buchanan County by 1907 with his son Reel (leaving his daughter Maude with her grandparents after the death of Celia) when he married Bessie Ratliff. Can anyone shed any light on my missing Hangers??? I found their burial in Rife Cemetary but know nothing of the rest of their children or when and where Celia died. It has become a matter of great importance to me to find any info since I have what might be a geneticlly passed form of Muscular Distropy.

Just a reminder for those of you who live close enough to get to Olympia WA on Saturday 9 October. The Lewis County Genealogy Society has made arangements for the Washington State Archive Southwest Region to be open from 9:00am until around 4:00 or 4:30pm for research.

The address is: 1120 Washington St SE, Olympia WA . For a list of just some of the items the archives has for research visit our web site at http://www.localaccess.com/lcgs/ and click on theWashington State Archives link.

I saw an obit. in the Morton "Journal" for Foister AMBURGEY born in 1931. I went to school with him. He was born in Sassafras, KY which is in Knox or Harlan Co KY. AMBURGEY is a large family in that area of KY...including Perry & Letcher Co's. Rodney V.

This came from my cousin Pat, and in my haste to clean it up, I deleted the author who shared it with the list Pat is on.... Prior to the US's entry into WW1 (approx. 1917-1918) every male between the age of 18 and 40 was required to register for the draft. The information found on the card was provided by the individual himself. The registration cards vary in information depending on the individual draft board. But by and large the cards include: The full name of the person (this means first, full middle name, any additional middle names and last name); the current address of the man; his age; his birthdate (some include his place of birth); whether he is a US citizen or a naturalized citizen (some ask if his father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race); his race; his occupation; where he is employed (name of employer); address or location of employment; name and address of his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or single and how many people he supports. The card is signed by the draftee. On the back of the card his physical description is noted: Height is broken down by short, medium, tall although some cards give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by slim, medium, stout although some cards list actual weight along with the build; color of eyes and hair; any deformities or injuries are listed (such as one arm missing, blind in one eye, etc); the name and address of the draft board and the date. When these original cards were transferred to the East Pointe NARA branch the LDS spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. There are hundreds and hundreds of boxes and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in state order. However, within each state the cards were filed by draft board, not by county or by draftee. This makes the searching of the microfilm difficult to say the least. The good news is that the Friends of the National Archives took each box after it was filmed (and checked) and sorted all of these thousands and thousands of cards into - state and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new boxes. The Friends deserve all the kudos we can give them for this monstrous task. So ... rather than spending hours and hours searching the LDS microfilm you can order copies of the original cards from NARA. if you know the county your ancestor lived in between 1917-1918. And BTW - Ancestry.com lists WW1 Draft cards in their searchable data bases, however I know for a fact that there are 22 cards for the surname WHITE found in McIntosh Co, OK and Ancestry only gave me 4 of them so don't depend on that site. I was told yesterday that some reps from Ancestry had visited the archives a couple of weeks ago to talk about filming the cards, took one look at the hundreds and hundreds of boxes and simply left. For copies: Send a letter requesting copy(s) to: NARA Southeast Region 1557 St. Joseph Ave East Point, GA 30344 In your letter be sure to say you want copy(s) of the WWI Draft application Cards. Include the name of your ancestor and his race, the state and the county. If you want copies of ALL of the cards with a given surname, ask them the cost of the copies and send a SASE for them to let you know the copying cost. In your letter be sure and say you want a copy of the FRONT and BACK of the card. Be sure to send a SASE for the return of you copies. The cost for the copy is 50 cents - 25 cents for the back and 25 cents for the front. If you only want one copy send a buck and say the difference is to be given to the Friends of the Archives, because after all they did all this wonderful hard work for you <VBG> And feel free to pass this on to any of the lists you are on.

An obituary printed Feb. 10, 1969, Idaho Daily Statesman, states that Ora Lewis NOTT married Charles Dwight WITHERSPOON on July 18, 1915 in Centralia, WA. Charles and Ora are both buried in Kohlerlawn Cemetery in Nampa, ID. Ora's parents were Dr. Benjamin Franklin NOTT (Dentist) and Sarah E. LEWIS. Dr. NOTT and his family are in the 1900 Fossil, Wheeler Co., OR census. We have been unable to locate him in a census after that. Dr. NOTT's other daughter, Amy NOTT, married John George ORME but unknown where or exactly when (1917-1922), possibly Lewis County, WA, now that we know that Ora was married there. Looking for researchers with interest in this family, leads, information, etc. Rick Monroe Long Beach, CA
