Dear Sandy, I just wanted to say thank you for posting this to the list. I knew some of this but also I learned a lot about how to post an outline! I have tried reading the manual several times. I have also bought the Family Tree Maker Video Tape a few months ago. I did not find it very helpful. I know there are all kinds of tricks to this program that I hope to learn. Thanks again for taking the time to send this! Katherine << This would help me as well since I have a number of Welchs, if you use family tree maker try this Family Tree Maker is a versatile program but most people don't realize they can send several different types of charts as well as a quick and easy outline via email, [without the need for attachments, which are the bane of the Internet]. The outline is by far the easiest, all you to is click on outline, click on contents, items to include, choose name, all three dates [b,m,d] in location, spouse's father, take out the short default date or you will have double dates, click on contents again and choose 2 or 3 generations, don't send people 10 generations down to your grandchildren unless they ask, besides it is a bad idea to send out so much personal information to strangers. Then just click on edit and copy the outline, and simply paste into email. You only have to choose items to include the first time, the program remembers this the next time. There are 3 charts you can create but these must be copied, pasted to word, cut from word, and pasted to email which seems like a lot of work to me when the outline is so easy, but… Click on GEN REPT, click on format and choose one. Click on contents and choose options, you don't have to include the notes, which makes a shorter chart, then choose 2 or 3 generations. First is the register style which prints the entire name in ALL CAPS and skips lines between most people, this form takes up a lot of space and the all caps are hard to read. Second is a much better form called the NGS format, which is descent ordered and prints a nice compact list of children, then in the second gen. lists the children that you have more info on and their children. It is by far superior to the register style. Third is the ancestor chart which does just that, prints out ancestors, you can choose how many generations, again it is best to choose only 2 or 3. Family Tree Maker is an amazing program and every six months or so you should skim through the manual to see if you can learn something new. Sandy in Florida

I have totally hit a brick wall on this family. Elisha Leak/Leek born abt 1783 in Maryland wed Margaret Garwood/Lamb/? born anywhere from 1786 to 1900 in either Maryland or Virginia. It changes with the census. They were Catholic as attending a Catholic Church in Monroe Co., Ohio in 1856 for Easter Service. Don't know if any of the family remained Catholic as the ones who west did not. James Frances ended up in West Virginia. Margaret and Julie stayed in Monroe Co., Ohio. George, Bazzle and Elisha went to Wayne Co. Illinois. The children we have found so far are as follows: James Frances Leak born 1815 near Front Royal Warren Co., Virginia Margaret (Lynch) born 1821 District of Colombia Julie (Mann) oven 1823 Maryland or Virginia Bazzle born 1826 Belmont Co., Ohio Elisha Lamb born 1829 Monroe Co. or Belmont Co., Ohio George born 1832 Monroe Co., Ohio With each census several changed their place of birth. I believe there might have been a daughter born between James and Margaret who married a Truax. In 1850 Monroe Co., Ohio census, there is an Ann Truax living with Elisha and Margaret and in 1860 Stillwell Truax is living in Wayne Co., Illinois with George Leak. William Truax was married twice. Both wives were Mary Jane. The second was Mary Jane Fogle who he married in 1843. This Ann and Stillwell were born before that. WE could be way off base. This is a second request for some of the counties involved. Any Leak information welcome. Any help on this problem would be greatly appreciated. Jerilyn [email protected]

Hello Pherron It appears that we may have a match here, Do you have any other information on the Welch's. I am more than glad to share any and all the information that matches up to you. If you have any other leads please let me know. I will need to do some verification to be absolutely sure of the match. Proud Nana 4

Hi Pat/others: Had previously posted the following for as 1860 Wayne Co census. That was NOT correct....should have been stated as CABELL Co 1860 (annotated) census. <<In 1860 Wayne Co (annotated) census, there was a Justin Sandridge age 80 living in #0307-0296 hshld of Asa Lemuel Wilson age 43 b OH s/o Samuel Wilson, wife Mary (Ann) age 37 d/o Ambrose L. & Sally Doolittle and 11 children (mentions two other children also). Asa married 2nd Susie S. Thomas on Oct 25, 1865; she died May 22, 1873. He then married an Eliza ____? No notation as to the relationship of Justin to the family.>> Sorry for confusion; sometimes perpetual state of my mind. <grin>. Gloria [email protected] ô¿ô ~

In a message dated 99-08-02 16:07:59 EDT, you write: > I am looking for information about Joseph Arthur and his wife Maria > Sandridge. They were married in kanawha County in Kanawha County in 1845. > But > there are no Sandridge families in 1850. Where was she born and who were her > > parents and siblings? There were SANDRIDGES in Barbour County -- take a look at the Barbour Co. GenWeb page -- http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvbarbou/ In the "Family Album" section, you will find information about one Sandridge family farm. Some names from the 1850 Barbour Census are listed. There is an e-mail link to the Sandridge researcher who submitted the information -- perhaps he can help you. Mary Ann Wamsley
