THis a letter from my cousin. I am posting it to the list since she isn't on the list. A few of you may know her so I am sorry if this is a duplicate. HI to all.

Would anyone know if cemetery records are available for an undertaker named Lynch Osborne? And if so, who I would contact about records for 1917? JoAnn Cupp Twain Harte, CA 95383

I'm searching for a Goff Robey, born sometime after 1869. Parents were Lloyd M and Nancy Martin Robey. They may have moved to Marion Co, WV and Goff may have married Henrietta Custer, daughter of Edward. Goff had at least 2 brothers: French Lazzell Robey and Carl Robey. Thanks very much.

Sorry about the problem but I got the same results as you did earlier. I could work around the problem and get to it but everything on the internet for me this morning was very slow and I received several No connects from several different sites. I just checked the veterans site a few minutes and problem appears to have been eliminated. Let me know if the problem continues. Dick Wilt, Bridgeport, WV

I had no trouble when I checked out the site - it is really nice. Kathryn

I tried the site and it would not let me on. Say Connection Timed out and other suggestions Nancy

Looking for any information about Lyon family in Salem WV in late 1800's early 1900's and Eckard Family in Clarksburg WV same time period

Betty, Sorry about that. It must have been late and I was not awake. Thanks anyway. Sally

Mariana; You're one of the first to offer, and I accept. We, the Harrison Co BARTLETT descendants, are not related to any of the New England BARTLETTs, including Josiah, the Signer; the tree BARTLETTs; the pear BARTLETTs; or the Famous Quote folks - we are related to the BARTLETT Funeral Home folks and to Joe BARTLETT who was the senior Rep. staffer in the House of Representatives for many years, and of course my Dad who had a decorated 30-year career in the Navy after graduating from the Naval Academy in 1941 ;>j To my knowledge, none of the New England BARTLETTs came to VA, and we didn't go there - different cultures, different migration routes. I'd be happy to trade info off-line.
