Since I got such a good response to my previous posting about Epidemics that occurred in our country's history, and so many more people have expressed an interest in learning more, I am posting several sites that might be well worth visiting. Some of them even have more detailed and worldwide epidemics which can be of interest also. http://genealogyfix.tripod.com/epidemics.html http://members.aol.com/AdamCo9991/epidemics.html http://college.hmco.com/history/readerscomp/rcah/html/ah_028800_epidemics.htm (this one has a good narrative and explanation of epidemics) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics (this one has clickable links) http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001460.html (this has Epidemics from 1793- Present day) http://www.eogen.com/Epidemics http://www.libby-genealogy.com/epidemics.htm (these last 2 are more Worldwide epidemics) Deloris

Hey that was a great idea Susan, but when I started using a computer 3 years ago I didn't know anything, & having started with aol I just set up one address for my genealogy only. That was good til now, I finally got my DSL but I still keep aol partly just so I can have my old email addresses, costs me an extra $15.00 a month but now don't know what else to do. I have too many postings out there to lose that address. Just found out last month who my Williams great-grandparents were from a very old posting, a distant cousin has now contacted me. Your advice is certainly good to give to a beginner.....

And even with "absolute proof" such as lists made of the children as they were born, and passed down thru the family, people have made errors on those. Not all "absolute is even absolute" and that is when we do have to arrive at a "truth" we will have to stick too. So many people couldn't write, or spell, and then those that did weren't always perfect either. Deciphering some of the old handwriting is not always easy. But we consider ourselves so grateful for any original records that have been kept in family lines, as well we should.

Thank you so much for the list of Epidemics in America, that is a keeper & I have printed it out to refer to. It truly could explain a good possibility of what happened to those who have just "disappeared" in one of those years. Thanks again, Peggy

Going through some of my old file, I came across this message which was originally posted on the Hertford County, NC message board by Marianne Ordway, which is still very useful info to have. Deloris Williams Epidemics in America 1628-1918 In case you ever wondered why a large number of your ancestors disappeared during a certain period in history, this might help. Epidemics have always had a great influence on people - and thus influencing, as well, the genealogists trying to trace them. Many cases of people disappearing from records can be traced to dying during an epidemic or moving away from the affected area. Some of the major epidemics in the United States are listed below: Years Area Epidemic 1628-1631 New England Small Pox 1638 New England Small Pox & Spotted Fever 1648-1649 Massachusetts Bay Colony Small Pox 1657-1658 Boston Measles 1659 Massachusetts Bay Colony Throat Distemper 1677-1678 Charlestown & Boston Small Pox 1679-1680 Virginia Small Pox 1687 Boston Measles 1689-1690 New England Small Pox 1690 New York Yellow Fever 1693 Boston, MA Yellow Fever 1696 Jamestown, VA Small Pox 1699 Charleston & Philadelphia Yellow Fever Mar 1699 South Carolina Small Pox 1702 New York Yellow Fever 1702-1703 Boston, MA Small Pox 1706 Charleston Yellow Fever 1711-1712 South Carolina Small Pox 1713 Boston Measles 1715-1725 Most of the Colonies Small Pox 1721 Boston, MA Small Pox 1723-1730 Boston, NY,Philadelphia Small Pox 1729 Boston Measles 1732 Charleston & New York Yellow Fever 1732-3 Worldwide Influenza 1735-1740 New England Small Pox, Scarlet Fever & Diphtheria 1734 Virginia Yellow Fever 1738 South Carolina Smallpox 1739-40 Boston Measles 1741 Virginia Yellow Fever 1747 CT,NY,PA,SC Measles 1752 Boston, MA Small Pox 1759 N.

Everybody should also note that when using info found in an online family tree, that the info is just what the person found out about the individuals he/she was researching, and that it doesn't necessarily have all of the info on that individual. Genealogy requires a lot of research and guesswork, many folks left no paper trail to follow and just can't be found in census, wills, deeds, estate records, etc, anything that one can think of to find that individual. It's rare that one can find an official document from the original family themselves that actually says that "Jane Doe was the daughter of Mary Smith & John Doe" - those are absolute records. When you can't find those records, that's when the guesswork comes in and it involves analyzing what one does have, and as anyone watching any law show can tell you, it is the prepondence of the evidence that one must use until or if something else turns up that is "absolute." But that is also one of the reasons that family trees are posted online, to help others looking for that "absolute" evidence, and that is also why one must do everything they can to "absolutely" verify what is found in those online trees.

I would invite ALL of the "Mrs. Williams" and ask them how in the world they birthed ALL those babies. They would each have a place of honor. Janet Williams Miller

I agree with Susan about changing e-addresses. I have had the same e-address for about 10 years. Even when I recently switched from dial-up to high-speed cable, I found I could retain my original address at less cost than I was paying for dial-up. The main reason for maintaining it is because it is the address I have used for all my genealogy related correspondence. Others I know change e-addresses so often it is almost impossible to keep up.

Hello Everyone, I have a ggg-grandmother Enamettia Adaline Williams b. 1825 in T.N. she married James Nowlin b. Fayette, ILL. 1819 they married in July 16, 1840 in Fayette, ILL. If anyone has any information on this family I can sure use alot of help. Thank you, Barbara [email protected]

In regards to having to change your email address so many times, you should use a email address such as hotmail.com, yahoo.com or other ones that you keep the same address all the time. I go back and forth between Ga and Fl and and had to switch ISP carriers several times but I just use my hotmail.com address all the time and never miss an important message from the posts that I make on several different boards.

MaryAnn: I do have a Samuel Williams, son of Daniel Williams and Mary White. I have not seen the book, DEEP ROOTS AND STRONG BRANCHES. I think Noah Norman was the brother of my great great grandmother, Sarah Jane Norman Williams' father, Pleasant Norman. Children of Pleasant Norman and Lucy are: i. Martha Norman, born 1828 in NC. ii. George Norman, born 1829 in TN. iii. Ellem Norman, born 1831 in TN. iv. Nancy Norman, born 1834 in KY. v. William Norman, born 1836 in KY. vi. John Norman, born 1838 in KY. 17 vii. Sarah Jane Norman, born 1842 in KY; died 1905 in Howell CO., MO; married Issac (Ike) Williams March 05, 1851 in Graves CO., KY. viii. Missouri Norman, born 1844 in KY. ix. Frances Norman, born 1846 in KY. x. Charles Norman, born 1847 in KY. Tina Williams Swyers [email protected] or [email protected] I would appreciate any help you would be willing to give me. Tina, have you checked in the following book: DEEP ROOTS AND STRONG BRANCHES by Clara V.O'Brien. A Chronicle of the Descendants of Samuel and Pilgrim Williams Including Many of the Families with Which Their Descendants Merged. The Woffords, Newmans, Hatchers, barbers, Maleys, Schultzes and many others, including mine, Jones, Hixson, Bartlett, Bell, Foster, Klingenschmidt. Published/(C) 1971 by the author. I don't know if it has been re-published or re-printed. I got mine when my mother died a couple of years ago. Page 128 has Harold Norman, David Norman, Pamela Norman. These are a father, daughter and son. They could be living today. If you think these would be of help, let me know and I will email them privately. These WILLIAMS are from the North Carolina bunch that began with : Samuel Williams Family Pilgrim Williams Family Philander Williams Joel Williams Mary Williams Henry Williams I don't remember if Samuel and Pilgrim were brothers or not. Henderson Williams, son of Mary and Henry Williams was my great or great great grandfather married to Emily Wofford. Henderson ended up in Beeville, TX. Anyway, if you don't have the book and those names strike a cord with you let me know.
