These are the most beautiful (in my opinion) The dark haired and blue eyed. Tell me, do your Wards have those "magnificent" eyebrows? These seem to run in my Wards.

Hi , We also have the dark hair and startling blue eyes. We are from Ireland landing in OH..... It still startles me when those eyes ( my eyes)look out at me from another family member.

Hi all, I have been told that NY State divorce records are sealed for 100 years. Is that true, and, since the parties are now dead, is there a way around this? Thanks for your help, Bob Bob Ward Associate Principal Horn San Francisco Symphony http://www.slip.net/~rnward

Bebe, Genetics can be very interesting........... All you have to have is a recessive blue from one parent meet up with a recessive blue from the other parent and--voila!! A blue eyed child from two brown eyed parents! My blond, blue eyed (WARD) grandmother wanted at least one brown eyed child to take after my very dark eyed SAMS grandfather (the family swears there's Native American in his mother's family, but I haven't found it yet) but all five children had all shades of blue eyes--from startling blue to my father's blue that changes, depending on what he wears. He, like his father, has Native American characteristics. My other grandparents, one blue eyed, the other hazel (a derivative of the brown gene) had ten children and they all had brown eyes! A parent with blue eyes can only give a blue eye gene. Those of us with a blue eyed parent and a brown eyed parent and also have brown eyes (such as my husband and myself) have a one in four chance (with each child) of that child's eyes being blue; the other three chances are having a child with brown eyes--but only two of those are able to pass on the blue eyed gene. That's how two Hispanics, both with an Irishman in the background, can have a blue eyed redhead (this happened in my friend's family)!! Did I confuse you enough? Anyone else think of an easier way to explain it? Samantha

My daughter has 1 dark one amongst a totally blonde family, a throw-back from her grandfather paternal. Rita

I am new to the list and also just beginning to try to trace my great grandmother, Julia Elizabeth Ward. All I know about Julia is that she married Frederick Smith, a pork butcher, in Nottingham in 1872. Her marriage certificate shows her age as 22 years and her father's name William, occupation 'gentleman'. Fred and Julia had at least three children whilst living in Newark, Notts (Laura, Frederick and Daisy) the latest one being born in 1877. From here I have lost her. I believe the family moved to the London area and there is a Julia and Frederick Smith in the 1881 Census living in Hackney, but the children don't appear on the 1881 Census CD's anywhere in the British Isles although I know at least two of them survived to adulthood. I also do not know where Julia was born. The Hackney one says 'London', but I cannot find a record of her birth. I would dearly like to hear from anyone who may have some knowledge of this family. Rita

Sorry, all I have are from VA and NC. I forgot to list location. sorry. Tammy

Hi, List! Not that it matters, but I have a startling picture of my grandmother, Bervil Ward Roper (very dark-skinned, dark hair, dark-eyed) and my father, Thomas Neal Roper (blonde hair, light blue eyes, light skin). I am not sure where the blond hair came from as most family members seems to have had brown hair and the blue eyes are startling blue - not just blue. Mine are the same. I wonder how this came about. . . Bebe Roper Byerly

Any one researching the WARD's of PUTNAM Co GA? John Ward married Lee Anne DUMAS in PUTNAM Co GA. I think his father was ALBRITTON WARD. Would love any information. And does anyone know where they are in the 1870 and 1880 census? btw JOHN W WARD has a pension application in the War of Northern Aggression<grin>. Larry Marcus Kirklen 770-505-0506

Wish I could help, but really don't have much on the Ward's that are not in my direct line. The info on Thomas was taken from the 1850 McDowel Co NC cenus. Do you have your Thomas on a census anywhere? I guess you could look on the 1860 McDowell Co NC census for Johnson Ledbetter Ward and see if he is listed with a Thomas. The family could have moved to TN as my Wards lived close to the GA/TN state line. > > > I hate to reply to every posting on earth, but my ggrandfather was named > Thomas Ward and he was born 4/15/1849 and, supposedly, according to census > records was born in TN, but, we all know about census records.

Hi,This is my brick wall! I am trying to connect Mary and Martha as sisters or cousins. They both married Burrell (BJ) Coley. (my gg-grandfather) Mary (my gg-grandmother) and Burrell had 2 sons Homer Corbert (my g-grandfather), b: 12 Jan 1869 and John B. Coley. I am assuming they married about 1867, I have no proof. Burrell and Martha married 12 Feb 1875 Pulaski Co. GA, I have proof of this marriage. They had 6 children. I would greatly appreciate any help with this line! I will share what I have. Thanks!

Hi, Beth! Sorry to be so stupid, but, at this point, I have no idea. Bebe
