I'd like to share with you a message contained in the March 1999 newsletter #159 of Seattle, Wa., Family History Center-North Stake Branch:"sometime during the next few weeks the Family History Dept. will be beta testing a new Internet site. We have not yet received detailed information concerning the types of searches that will be available online, but we are providing the address so that our patrons and staff can try it out from their home computers. the address is:Http://www.familysearch.org After an initial testing period, the site will be closed for evaluation. Following the evaluation period a formal statement will be issued regarding the future of the service. We would like to encourage all of you who have Internet access at home to watch for and use the site during the test period, then provide feedback and/or suggestions."

I have a problem and hope someone knows the answer. This is kinda long but hopefully it fits and helps another. In the Antill(?) funeral home(Cameron) book is this record. #1: JAMES MARION MANNING Cook Born Marshall County Died June 5, 1930 Age 53 years 1 month 21 days Place Poplar Springs Single Buried Big Run Cemetary PARENTS: BENJAMIN T. MANNING born Marshall County, WV SARAH M. MATHEWS born Marshall County, WV Could this **T** be an **I** ????? Hopefully just a typo? Who is it that did the Manning research and posted it? I'd like to find him and ask why Roy isn't mentioned in the Manning family. According to the obituary of James Manning {Source: Moundsville Echo, 6/06/1930} which is posted on the Marshall page, and in my hands, this man has: Surviving him are three sisters, Mrs. Dever Duell(can't really see the name that good) of East Liverpool, Mrs. James Bartrug of Poplar Springs, and Miss Anna who is a teacher in the junior high school in this city; two brothers, William Manning and Roy Manning of Cameron. Can anyone help? TIA Cheryl

Daniele, Uriah Sampson's wife was Anne Gorby. There is going to be a book published soon on the Gorbys, but in the mean time, contact Dawn Hurd. She has a bunch of Sampson info and should be able to help you.

The VARLEYs married into the MANNING Family as follows: William Manford MANNING, son of George Beeler MANNING and Susan BUSH, married Annie VARLEY in Marshall Co, in January 1868. The family left WV, moving to Grayson Co, TX then on to Oregon by 1883. Rebecca MANNING, daughter of George Beeler MANNING and Susan BUSH, married Robert Newton VARLEY in Marshall Co, in November 1868. They also left WV, moving to Grayson Co, TX, then on to Oregon. If you come across more information regarding the VARLEY family or why these two may have "taken off" for Oregon, I'd be very interested. Was there a general move to that area for some reason or perhaps other MANNING relatives they moved to join up with? Thank you, Ann [email protected] www.varley.org Varley Genealogy Site dedicated to the exchange of VARLEY surname and related family information

I do not have any pictures of Lavina Beeler Manning Martin. However, I feel it would be beneficial if we exchanged info on the Beeler, Manning, Martin, and LaRue families. I have much info on these families but have not found the time to upload it all to the Marshall County page. Vernon Anderson [email protected]

The district is Union and the person I am looking for is Patrick Caton and his daughter Margaret Caton . Will anyone be so kind as to look for these people in the 1870-Union district for me. I certainly would appreciate it. Virginia W. Kelly [email protected] .com.

I am looking for a picture of LAVINIA BEELER MANNING MARTIN, w/o SQUIRE D. MARTIN. She died 5 Feb 1904. Surely her picture exists somewhere.

Friends, Here is the article about Vernon Pyles from the History of Wetzel County that Linda said she had. I love to hear from anyone who has any connections to this PYLES. [email protected] -------------------------------------- I am Vernon Pyles of Pine Grove, WV. I was born 3 Jan. 1918 at Silver Hill and have lived most of my life in Wetzel County. My father, James Blaine Pyles was born and lived at Silver Hill and my mother, Jessie Lee Calvert Pyles, was also born and lived in Wetzel County. They had six children and I was the eldest of four boys and two girls. Therefore I had to assume responsibilities pretty early in life and had to help along with the younger ones, especially my two sisters, Eloise and Doris. I went to school at Carneys Run and American Ridge. I received my high school diploma at New Martinsville. I enlisted in the Army and was among the first to leave Wetzel Co. in Jan. 1941. There were 16 of us that left Wetzel County at that time. Most all of us were together for fifteen to eighteen months, then were sent many different ways. I was in seven different countries of Europe during WWII and received three battle stars. I was discharged 18 Nov. 1945. 9April 1942, 1 married Garnet Lemasters, the second daughter of Walter and Lula Poole Lemasters. Her parents were born at Wileyville and lived in Wetzel Co. most of their lives. To us were born three daughters; Donna; Mary and Carol. They all attended Valley High School at Pine Grove, WV. Donna then went to B. M. Spurr School of Nursing at Reynolds Memorial Hospital and worked as a practical nurse. She is now married to Donald Westen and lives in Moundsville, WV. Mary attended beauty college at Parkersburg, WV and worked at Paden City as a beautician. She married David Kemp of Paden City and they have three children: Alicia Ann; Michael David and Erica Dawn. Carol attended W.V.N.C.C. and works as an R. N. at the New Martinsville Health Care Center. She is married to Edwin Livingston, Jr. and lives on a farm at Middlebourne, WV, with their daughter Jessica. We are members of the Church of Christ, of which I am one of the elders at Pine Grove. Iworked for the Pennzoil Co. for 23 years. We are both retired now and we enjoy camping, fishing and visiting with our children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors. submitted by Vernon Pyles --------- End forwarded message ---------- ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Thanks to Clarice Stanley for those tips! Two words politicians and genealogists should avoid: "always" & "never." These tips on maiden names are great clues, often to help _confirm_ or _support_ speculations about a woman's maiden name, but of course we all realize it's not foolproof. (And, having played the fool enough times, I can testify to this from experience.) It may be like the "convention" as to how children were named, such as the first son being named for so-and-so, the next for so-and-so, etc. Nice when it was followed, but often it was not. Shoot, many of us can point to families where little William was born in 1854, then another William was born in 1863, etc. Has anyone ever run across a James McHenry? Or a dozen of them, all in the same generation, living within ten miles of each other? Arrgggh! First, obviously, IF the woman has relatives from her family in the area, names of witnesses on wills MIGHT apply. Many of us have inconsiderate ancestors who didn't think about our genealogical searches today, to bring relatives with them as they moved west, so just as often neighbors and friends were signers as witnesses. Mortgages: I wish I could find some of those, with those details. But we're talking, often, about a society so remote from county courthouses that such details sometimes went unrecorded. However, those kinds of details were often recorded more religiously than births. (pun intended) After all, we're talking money here! More paperwork: If you can locate them, don't ignore things like pension papers. My g-grandma applied for her [Civil War Vet's] widow's pension when g-grandpa died, and had to furnish affadavits from several witnesses, testifying to her poverty and need. Besides providing poignant reading about details of life of the 1890's, here were names and locations of children, grandchildren, and siblings who provided the needed affadavits. Search for other courthouse papers, such as lawsuits following a death or probate of a will. Families squabbled over land and inheritances. (Can you imangine that!?) I have such a family battle, with people named in a suit filed, giving me hints about who was who, and who kept in touch with whom, even though some folks moved two states away. Naturally, we all search for marriage records, hoping that gg-grandma's daddy signed her marriage application, since she was under age. It's no guarantee, as with one such case here. I have a man's name as witness, but again, he didn't have the consideration to tell me if he was her father or her brother, or just some other "Clements" in the neighborhood. OK, several paragraphs telling folks things they already know, but I just thought I'd mention them. Maybe someone else has some interesting tidbits and experiences they can share about where they uncovered that one special clue which finally revealed an ancestor? Oh - lastly: learn to read old German. Given the statistical chances that some of our ancestors were German ("Dutch," "Swiss," etc.) we might come across old church records in old Pennsylvania, written in classic old German, needing translation. Or, with a real bit of luck, you may trace g-g-g-g-anestor Heinrich back to Saxony or somewhere, and win the lottery so you can travel there, and find the local records from 1724 still intact, so you can read them. If you do (win the lottery, go to Germany, and can read the old records), give me a call, OK? I have this one ancestor... jim + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + - James Wiley, AKA [email protected]

Linda, Could you let me know more about the Vernon PYLES info? Vernon was my grandfather's 1st cousin. Also, did you happen to look for PILE or PILES when you looked for Michael PYLES before. It is found spelled all three ways from time to time.

Linda, Are there any PYLES mentioned in the book you have. We're particularly trying to verify the parents of Michael PYLES (m. Martha BURLEY) who owned a good deal of land in Marshall and Wetzel County.

O. Box 1177 >Flagler Beach, Florida 32136-1177 e-mail [email protected] Carlisle, Linda and you, have been the biggest helps already just by having the website, the sharing of info, and the lists. My interest in genealogy really got started with the Wykerts buried at Francis Farm. It turns out they are wives of my GGGrandfather, Nicholas. Alot of my family information is still on my website. Recently added names (from the WV branches) is the main things I've lost. I just recieved an e-mail from another list member, who gave me most of the lost names and about 50 more I did not have. Thank you all for everything you do everyday! Please forward this to the list, so all who are on the list can know how much I appreciate them. Thank you, George F. Wykert in Kansas. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com --part0_921002408_boundary--
