Here is an update on our Whitaker search: John Whitaker who was 60 in 1860 living in Knox County, MO. No wife listed on census. Living with grandson, Eldridge Campbell age 15.

Hi Everyone: I received the following message via my guest book on my Whitaker Homepage. Since I am not currently doing research in Brazil, I was wondering if someone can help Christiano? If you can, please send your response to him at [email protected] Name: Christiano Whitaker at [email protected] From: Sao Paulo, Brazil Time: 1998-11-16 14:26:57 Comments: Where can I find data on the Whitaker family of Brazil? I would like to know its origins. I've been told that we are descendants of a certain William Whitaker, coffee merchant who established himself in the port city of Santos, circa 1850. True? Thanks to all. Allen A. Whitaker [email protected]

Hi, Don't remember this being posted on the site. May concern may doing genealogy research. Milt - Congress Passes Bill Detrimental to Genealogists The U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate have been working for a while on a bill designed to extend the term of copyright protection by 20 years. H.R. 2589, the House version of copyright term extension and now named, "The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act," was adopted by the full House or Representatives on March 25, 1998. The bill was sent to the Senate, where it languished for some time. In September the Senate passed a slightly different bill. The two bodies then worked out a compromise document. The House and the Senate passed S. 505 on October 7, 1998. President Clinton signed the bill on October 27, 1998. Per our Constitution, our government, "to promote the science and useful arts" ... secures "for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." This balances the right of a person to make a profit, with the right of the people to the work (so they can freely make derivative works). Until 1979, the copyright term was 56 years: one 28 year term, extendible for an additional 28 years. Hence, in 1978 all works created in or before 1922 were in the public domain. In 1979, Congress RETROACTIVELY extended copyright terms 19 years, so that the material from 1923 has never entered the public domain. Now, 19 years later, at the urging of the Walt Disney Company, the Gershwin heirs, and many others concerned with their rights to keep exclusive ownership of intellectual property, Congress has RETROACTIVELY extended copyright terms another 20 years, to 95 years. This means that materials written in 1923, which would have entered the public domain on Jan. 1, 1999, will now enter the public domain on Jan 1, 2019. Materials written in 1924 will now enter the public domain on Jan. 1, 2020. And that, sir, is only if Congress does not retroactively extend the term a third time. What impact does this have on genealogists? We all want information. In this day and age, information usually is found online or on CD-ROM disks. Yet the people who produce those online databases and CD-ROM disks are now prohibited from reproducing materials printed after 1922. Newspapers after 1922 (obituaries, especially) will now be in copyright for another 20 years. You'll need to wait 20 more years before they can be transcribed and put online for free. Old genealogies, which might be useful if reprinted, cannot be freely reprinted or placed online for an additional 20 years. Historical materials cannot be reprinted or placed online for an additional 20 years. Likewise, obscure works whose copyright status is uncertain or where the heirs cannot be tracked down, cannot be placed online for an additional 20 years. For a much more detailed description of the impact, look at: http://www.public.asu.edu/~dkarjala/

I anyone has Whitakers from N.C. Stanley, Cabarrus, or Anson counties. I would like to talk to you. I have come to a halt with my GGGrand father Nelson Whitaker born 1815 and his son John Wesley Whitaker born 1856 supposedly in Concord N.C. If anyone may have a lead please let me hear from you, Jamie

There is a West WHITAKER in Pontotoc Co. OK on the 1910 census age 59. Can anyone claim him as a relative???. I think he is the Wasley WHITAKER that was bor in Tishoming Co. MS in 1847, was in McNairy Co. TN in 1870, Denton Co.TX in 1880. He went to prison in TX in 1882 for murder and then received a pardon in 1902. Wesley had a son John and he is in Pontotoc Co. OK in 1900(Indian Nation) and he had a daughter Dona and she was in Pontotoc Co. with her brother John. Dona was married to J.L. Griffin who died in McNairy Co.TN before 1900. Their son Dee born in 1895 was with Dona in 1910. Thanks Pat in McNairy Co.TN

Here is an update on our Whitaker search: John Whitaker who was 60 in 1860 living in Knox County, MO. No wife listed on census. Living with grandson, Eldridge Campbell age 15. We think we may have found John. We think he was the oldest son of Isaac Whitaker and Susannah Harris. Here is the information we have: Isaac Whitaker b Aug 20, 1778 Orange Co., NC d June 5, 1873 Letcher County, KY married Abt 1798 VA or NC Susannah Harris b July 12, 1781 Orange Co., NC d 1873 Letcher County, KY Children: John b October 1, 1799 * we think he is "ours" Samuel March 21, 1802 Isaac "Little Dyke" April 1, 1801 Elizabeth April 17, 1803 (m Stephen Adams) William April 17, 1803 Peter July 2, 1805 Susannah May 7, 1807 Sarah April 17, 1809 Esquire 1813 (m Harriett Higgins) Does anyone out there have any information on this particular family, and on John Whitaker in particular? Don and Mary in Wyoming

It's been too quiet on the Whitaker front lines... Isn't anyone looking for someone? Or are we all diligently inputting all that wonderful information we've been accumulating? I've been fortunate to get copies of my gg-grandfather's death records and one of his sons, my g-uncle, death records. Very sketchy information family wise, not much for leads. My g-uncle had his brother, Charles, as an executor of his will and this gave me the information that Charles was living at No. 28 Canwick Place in The City of Lincoln, Lincs, England in 1897. So now I'm trying to track down Charles and any family he might have had. Charles was a Commercial Traveler (traveling salesman). I have a couple other brothers still to track down, but find I get better results if I "go for one at a time". Charles was born Nov. 10, 1844 in Dorrington, Lincs. Parents: James and Mary (Pinder) Whitaker Found a Charles m. to Martha abt. 1876, in the IGI, but can't prove yet that it's the same Charles. I foresee lots of research on this one! :-) Good evening.... :-) Linda Whittaker Knott [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/heartland/prairie/5868 England (Lincs, Notts, Dorset)WHITAKER,PINDER,PICKWORTH,KNOTT U.S.:WHITTAKER,LOVE,WEST,CHAPIN,MALOTT,COMSTOCK,ELLIS,FERGUSON KNOTT,GOODWIN,AVERY,CLARK,EVANS,MOCK,ROCHFORD,ALVEY ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Because of the loss of e-mails and not being able to get in to read them, I've changed addresses to: [email protected] This is a website e-mail and will have nothing to do with my ISP. Therefore, theoretically, my mail should be more dependable! There are some of you who e-mail me directly and I wanted to let you know before I unsubscribe from the lists and re-subscribe under the new address. Both e-mail addresses will be in use for a few weeks, as it will take some time to notify all who need to know. Linda Whittaker Knott :-)

I am searching for Nelson Whitaker, he was born in 1815, I don't know where, he was married to a Sophia ?, I also don't know where. In the 1860 Stanley Co. N.C. census I found him and his children, John Wesley (my line), William, Mary, Martha, Benjamin, Bieky, Wil.?, Julius, Jethero, and James. If anyone knows any of these names or anything about Nelson, I would like to hear from you, thanks Jamie

ATTENTION NOTICE. When you get into earlier dates of Penn and Virginia If you can't find information in VA look in Penn. when Penn and Va were not only dividing land the also divided records od all kinds. FROM; [email protected]

Sorry, wish I could help but I don't have enough information to match her with anyone. Have you tried looking on her death certificate? Since she died in 1959 there should be one and it would tell who her parents were and the dates of her birth and death, cause of death, etc. Go to the County Courthouse and look in the death records for 1959. You should be able to find her on the census records. Was she in Virginia by 1910? 1920? There might be an obituary. Try the Danville newspapers for one. Look for her husband's death certificate, an obituary for him, and find him on the census to see where he was born. Maybe they were married there. You might try the libraries in Danville. Often there are county history books that contain family histories. Sometimes the tombstone will say "daughter of _____". Often families traveled together and lived close to each other. Look on the census to see who the neighbors were and if there were other families who could have been sisters or brothers. Sometimes their family history will shed some light on your ancestor, or their descendants might have the family Bible.

Hello List Members, My great uncle Henry Whittaker was born in 1902 in Nottingham, England. He married Edith Alice Holt in 1925 whilst he was in the army and stationed at Farnham . Henry was in the 1st Leicestershire Regiment. They had a son, Claud, in 1926 and Terrence and Katherleen sometime later. It is believed that Henry and his family went to Ireland, but have not been seen nor heard of since. My other great uncle, Albert Edward Whittaker, who is getting on in years, would dearly love to know what happened to his brother and his family. Any information would be gratefully received, Best wishes Ann

The list has been very active the last couple of weeks! Just quiet for the last day or so. Unfortunately, I don't have your Martha in my database. Good luck in your search.
