Do any of the Newluns, Wallaces, Fulmers or Kings have any pictures of Sarah McFarland Wallace? I will gladly pay to make a copy but I sure would like to have a picture of her. She was such a colorful person and my daughter is getting interested in the underground railroad. If you have any pictures please let me know at hm2@comcast.net Thanks a bunch Helen Wallace Clark Marshall (Emmett (Ted) Wallace's granddaughter, Sarah was his grandmother)

Hello all, Thank you very much for the response. I will try to get back to each as soon as I can. A few points, please forgive me: LDS/IGI, from what I have read, has not recently been perceived as the most reliable source for a number of reasons. I have used the resource quite extensively and found it a good starter. I don't know why the qualification, (well I do have an idea)!! GENUKI, ROOTSWEB, AUS BDM et al. I agree we have all probably looked at. ROOTSWEB - I made a couple of lucky hits because of the uniqueness of the names I was researching. Forgive me USA, but I spent a long time searching family names because I did not think I could miss any opportunity to follow up my names. Unfortunately, and I think there will be a fair number of peeps who will agree with me, there a number of individuals who have posted so many versions of their Tree (and the others that 'Borrow' from them) that they clog up the system. Does anyone know where I can ask to get some of the dross cleared out?

Hi David, I went back to your original post and seems your in need of a site or list that deals in a little of everything. The Newbie list is for asking any and ALL types of questions on genealogy and computers. Even if you know your computer, the genealogy part is quite interesting. They will deal with beginners right up to the pros........ I have been researching some 40 years, yet they brought up new places to search that was NOT our regular places..... LDS, Ancestry, Olive Tree, etc. They were very helpful to me just a couple years ago when I was subscribe for short while. Might give them a try ? Their main site.......... _http://www.rootsweb.com/~newbie/_ (http://www.rootsweb.com/~newbie/) Their mailing list subscribe.......... _Gen-Newbie-L-request@rootsweb.com_ (mailto:Gen-Newbie-L-request@rootsweb.com) Good Luck, Beth.....

I am looking for Rev. John Wallace. Am told he was a Presbyterian minister possibly from Londonderry, Ireland. His daughter Sallie married Matthew Simpson Smith in SC in 1771. Matt was born in Londonderry in 1750 and came to Colonies. He was in the Revolutionary War on the American side. I have not other info on John. He is an absolute brick wall. Betty.

> I have wondered why there seems to be no > central repository for genealogy. Basically because this would cost money - and who's going to fund it. (sheesh people gripe about paying for ancestry.com like it doesn't cost them anything to host the data). And then you have people who don't like the way one company does it so they start doing their thing..etc. voila a conglomeration of data at various sites. There are people out there who do help - many help for free... Cyndi's list is probably one of the best for listing the various resources throughout the world wide web. If you haven't been to her site you should. http://www.cyndislist.com/ btw david are you from Orkney? Just curious in ref to your email name. I know someone who's doing a D-N-A study of the Orkney Islands.

The most important advice I would give anyone new to Genealogy is to take down where you got your information, what the individual source is even if it isn't your family history. If it's a person over the internet copy down their email address to the document cause you may find something later you would like to relate back to them. When I could not give what book I got my info from the guy told me there are three rules to doing Genealogy and that was Document Document Document...... Now that is also my rules.. lol Good Luck on your historical journey and don't forget the Volunteers that do Lookups. They are the greatest. My motto: If you need a friend, talk to anyone do Genealogy they are the friendliest people you'll find anywhere.

orkboyz: I think that this is the web site for the Mormon genealogy site: _www.familysearch.com_ (http://www.familysearch.com) the church's home page is: _www.lds.org_ (http://www.lds.org) If you access the home page, click on the Family History category on the left side of the screen.

Answer to orkboyz: The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) have Family History Centers in their chapels world-wide. They are staffed with friendly capable people who are willing to help anyone of any faith and there is no charge. The Mormon church has the largest repository of vital statistics in the world. A large amount of it is available on line. What is not on line is on microfilm and the films can be ordered in to be read at their centers. The Family History centers have computers and film readers all of which are available for the general public to use at no charge. They do not preach or try to convert you to their church at their Family History centers. Good Luck in your research. Willard Sensiba El Paso, Texas USA

Are any of you descended from the Wallace Brothers in the following book? Six Wallace Brothers and Their Descendants From Chanceford Twp., York Co., PA in the Mid-18th Century by William Wallace Barton and Jean Wallace Gayle. I am, and would like to buy the book, which is out of print. Connie

David, I understand what you are saying. I am just beginning, and have yet to do any searches "across the pond," as the saying goes. I would be interested in others sharing how they got off the ground. Thanks for being the brave one and starting this conversation.

Dear Family and Friends, We are writing to ask for your consideration and help for our home and community. Over the last several years, Boerne has rapidly been changing with an ever increasing move toward commercialization and urbanization. There have been fragmented efforts by citizens both within the city and in the county to either ask for further consideration of or to modify some of these trends. These efforts and problems have included: the rezoning of areas that are near established residential neighborhoods to commercial/high density designations; trying to preserve the architectural integrity and beauty of the historic area; preserving the “old town Boerne” neighborhoods and noise ordinances; small school versus large school questions; the commercialization and lack of strict architectural guidelines along Highway 87 and I10; city water ordinances, county well fees and issues of water conservation and the protection of key watershed areas; the loss of large areas of open green space; increased traffic; and many more such issues. The announcement of a new Thoroughfare Plan and Loop, (a four lane highway tightly ringing Boerne along with several feeder roads), has, in a sense, encircled all of us in the community and drawn us together to deal with these issues of urbanization and growth. This plan is driven by the request of developers who need the access and traffic flow to facilitate their properties. Right now, there are two properties along Highway 46 E that, if annexed into the city, will have a “domino” affect by opening the door to a much larger, 1200 acre development adjoining them. Why is this a concern? The city does not require a plan from the developer in order to annex them, so we have no idea what we will be annexing! We do know the city allows at least 6 houses per acre (versus the county’s restriction of 1 home per 5.78 acres). If you do the simple math of 6 homes per acre times 1200 + acres, and assume 3 persons per household, we potentially will be opening the door for 15,000 to 22,000 more people in that one quadrant of Boerne alone. There is the possibility of additional multi-housing units as well as commercial development within this annexation. This is pristine ranchland and a watershed area. The developers will pay for the cost of the highway in their area, which will “speed up” the completion of this highway around our town. (Contrary to what the City leaders are telling the public- that it won’t happen in our lifetime.) This is only in one quadrant, and does not take into consideration the additional developments, both commercial and residential that are bound to follow if a highway loop is implemented all around Boerne. (The present Master Plan calls for a population growth to at least 41,000 people.) The highway suggested would be two 25 foot lanes with a 14 foot median. Even Highway 46 doesn’t have that! You may wonder what any of this has to do with you! Some of you live in the Boerne city limits and the impact is obvious, it is the end of our unique and scenic town as we know it. Traffic, strip malls, destruction of green spaces, future water resources, schools, taxes for fire department and other services, small town atmosphere- that intangible quality that makes living here so community oriented and the very personality of our town will change. To those of us in the county who shop, work, eat, go to school and conduct business in Boerne, the same issues are ours, and more so, because the proposed loop is designed to run through county property. To those of you who live in San Antonio and the surrounding areas, you will lose an enjoyable shopping and outdoor destination, and more of the beautiful Hill Country that we all enjoy. More importantly, the areas up for development are part of the critical watershed for Cibolo Creek. Cibolo Creek is the only surface creek that feeds directly into the Edwards Aquifer that San Antonio relies on for it’s water. This is a regional problem. Many of you drive out to enjoy the scenery, animal life and rural beauty of the Hill Country- how far will you have to go to expose your children and grandchildren to the rural and scenic history we have taken for granted for so long? On a more personal note, this loop was drawn and proposed without the City leaders even looking at the present homes and families that are already here. We spoke with city officials who informed us that “no one drove out to see what homes were there”. They have openly stated that they do not wish for the Texas Department of Transportation to plan the roads because the “city can do it without having to mess with any environmental studies”. The roads were drawn to simply accommodate the developers and their large tracts of land, without regard to our homes or the impact upon the community at large. This highway will destroy ours and our neighbors homes, it is literally drawn through our yards and houses. We are not even in the present ETJ of Boerne, so we have had no voice or vote in the City government. We first discovered this plan when we read of it in the newspaper. We are asking for your help and participation in various ways, depending on your interest and ability. If you are a city resident, contact the people below and ask them to vote “no ” on annexation of these tracts along Highway 46 E. Tell them you want a new Comprehensive Plan that reflects the desires of the Boerne community. Attend the Boerne Together (Boernetogether.org) meeting on Saturday, February 5 at 3:00 PM at St. Helena’s Episcopal Church at 410 N. Main Street. Plan to attend the city council meeting on Tuesday, February 8 at 7:00 and request the city leaders to vote “no” on any more annexations until a new Comprehensive Plan can be drawn, with public input and smart growth ideas. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel, there are many models for smart growth out there that we can implement to preserve our town and lands. If you are a county resident, do all of the above as well as contacting your County Commissioners and asking them what they can do to represent our concerns. If you are from San Antonio or the surrounding area, please help us by calling or emailing any of the officials below and expressing to them your interest in what is happening in Boerne. Tell them that you are concerned that they have a regional and comprehensive view in their plans, particularly as it relates to water issues. They will listen if they feel that their decisions will have a negative impact on shopping and tourism in Boerne. Tell them you can just as easily drive to DeZavala and shop if that is what Boerne is to become! We, of course, are heartbroken about this turn of events, as we, along with our kids, have invested a great deal of work and love into our home. We have large, very old oaks, deer, owl, quail and wild turkey that also make their homes here! This isn’t just a simple resistance to change, the natural resource loss and water issues are of real and genuine concern. However, we are encouraged by the number of thoughtful, intelligent and caring folks in Boerne who are committed to seeing this ill-conceived growth halted in favor of wiser stewardship plans for our land and our town, for the sake of those who will come after us. Thank you so much for your time and support . Feel free to forward this email to as many people as you feel appropriate.
