Hi I have just joined this list in the hope of finding further information on my husbands 'Young' family. I do not have much information, but I am hoping there is someone out there who can help or offer some guidance. Anyway, I am seeking information on my husbands 3xgrandfather Lewis Edward Young who emigrated to Australia with his wife and three sons back in the early to mid 1800's (?) from Canada. The three sons were Edward, Henry and Robert Young. If you have any missing or misplaced Lewis Edward's (may have just gone by the name Edward) in your 'Young' family please contact me. Unfortunately I have no idea where in Canada they came from! Regards Lisa Young Queensland, Australia Check out my family tree over 800 names last count! >>> http://www.users.bigpond.com/kenandlisa17/ Researching the following surnames - mainly in the Norfolk, England area: Bacon, Bacon-Baker, Bacon-Taylor, Baker, Barber, Blyth, Brown, Coles, Cundick, Cunningham, Furse, , Hardingham, Howlett, Howlett-Taylor, Lindley, Loom, Loomb, Loombe, Loome, Ninham, Norman, Olley , Rumsey, Schmidt, Seager, Sexton, , Summers, Taylor Vincent, Watson, Wilde, Wilkinson, Williamson, Woods, Young plus many more

http://www.rosewoodrecording.com/genealogy/IndexIntro.html This index toEquity Court abstracts is not to be overlooked as it has a thousand names! "a mess of Equity Court records that hold a wealth of information. These records include probates, bonds, mortgages, court actions, guardianships and reports on guardianships, powers of attorney - all kinds of wonderful stuff. The rub is that the index for these things is awful. The only names mentioned in the index are the complainor and the complainee, while there may be many more folks mentioned in the actual record referred to. For instance, I have found a huge amount of information on my Anderson family in one single record that didn't even mention the name of the person for whom I had been searching. I found siblings, parents, spouses and children. Look for the words "et al" and when you find them, you"

Here's a site I came accross when looking for something else. Since we just had a discussion about nicknames I thought some of you would find this interesting: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~oel/givennamesa-j.html Sue McAlister Root-Diggers-subscribe@smartgroups.com email: Sue@Painter-McAlister.com HOME PAGE: www.Painter-McAlister.com Administrator for: PA-PITTSBURGH and PA-WESTMORELAND-HISTORIC Administrator for: BALLES, ECKER,HEROLD, KELLAWAY, KELLOWAY, MCALISTER, MCCALLISTER, MCALLISTER, MCCOLLISTER, SKELLY, STRAYER, PAINTER, PAYNTER, PICKHARD, Administrator for: Adoption, Mystery, Horror, Stay-At-Home-Moms, M-W- C, Nost-TV, Palm-Gen and Westie --- Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Our Northern Ireland adventure is over, the answers found and it is time to move on; to Stirling in Scotland with the prospect of new "finds"and more adventures. For almost six years I have researched the Presbyterian Ulsterman and in doing so found four obscure out of print publications that should be included in every library. Before my focus changes to Scottish research I am offering to interested researchers ONE last time the opportunity to purchase (cost of copies and postage) the following items. All items have either expired copyrite provisions or in the case of the Hagy thesis I have the authors permission to reproduce the document. They are: The Laggan and its Presbyterianism and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery, 1905, 1908, by the Rev. Alexander Lecky, B.A. member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, Belfast, Davidson & McCormack, 54 King St. 211 pages. On our trip we met JB Shannon age 90, who assisted in the 1975 reprinting and he was a window to the past. He is the last living person who had anything to do with these books and says they are still the BEST source for Ulster presbyterian research. From Lecky I quote, "The lists of names of former generations of Lagganeers, and their places of abode, that are given in the Appendixes, and which NEVER before appeared in print, whilst they may of necessity prove dull reading to those who have no acquaintance with the locality, will not, I hope, be altogether uninteresting to those who bear the same name, or live in the same places...." If I send this post to your list it means your surname is listed in the appendix. Cost: $25.00 Fighters of Derry, Their Deeds and Descendants, being a Chronicle of Events in Ireland during the Revolutionary period 1688-1691, by William R. Young, 1932, Eyre and Spottiswoode, London 350 pages. Contains the following biographical sketches: (1500) 1. The leaders of the County Associations, who with their levies took part in the Preliminary operations and contributed much of the man power for the Defence. 2. The Apprentice Boys and those responsible for shutting the gates on the 8th Dec. 1688. 3. The actual Defenders during the 105 day siege (over 1200 genealogical sketches) 4. Those engaged in the relief of the city. One of the most difficult sources to locate, in fact almost impossible. Months worth of reading and packed with great genealogy. Cost: $25.00 A History of the Siege of Londonderry and Defense of Enniskillen in 1688 and 1689, with Historical Poetry and Biographical Notes, by the Rev. John Graham, M.A. Rector of Magilligan in the Dicese of Derry. Includes the Battles of the Boyne, Athlone, and Aughrim and the siege and Capitulation of Limmerick by Lord Macaulay, Toronto, 1869 The historical poems are family genealogies about those who were at Derry and where they came from. Along with "Fighters of Derry" these two sources contain more actual genealogical information than any others that I have seen. 311 pages Cost: $25.00 Castle's Woods: Frontier Virginia Settlement, 1769-1799, A thesis presented to the Faculty of the Department of History, East Tennessee St. University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts, by James W. Hagy, 1966, 150 pages. The most popular of the documents offered it covers the families who settled in Russell county, Virginia when it was considered the frontier. If your ancestors came through southwest Virginia this document is the history of your family. Contains information of specific families as well as the farmers, speculators, artisans, and preachers who resided there. Lots on the Indian battles that were a daily feature of life on the frontier. Names like Russell, Walker, Porter, Cowan, Houston, Boone, Montgomery, Fraley, Thompson, Anderson, Kilgore and 50 or so other "Scotch-irish" families make this an invaluable resourch for your family history. Cost: $25.00 I only post these offerings to a tiny fraction of the lists and only to those lists where your surnames are mentioned. After I make the offering I insubscribe because my e-mail box will fill up in about ten minutes. I am always on the Cowan and Wigton-Walker lists and you can e-mail me at cscunc@aol.com and ask any question you like. I will always attempt to answer your questions although it is unlikey I hold the key to who your great grandma was. If you are interested in the results of our trip to Donegal and Belfast please check the COWAN-L archives and you will see the posts we made during the last week or so. Thanks for your interest and I hope making this information available has helped some of you. I always enjoy getting e-mails from fellow researches. Also a big thanks to those of you who sent family information to us before our trip. It was appreciated and a special thanks to Alex Latta from Canada who turned us on to James Fleming. The trip would not have been the same without that piece of the puzzle. Regards, Robert Cowan 525 Harrogate Rd. Matthews, North Carolina 28105 (704)847-4081

Jean, I always found that Polly and Molly were nicknames for Mary, and Peggy, etc. were for Margaret. Carleen

To Sarah B. You are correct, Polly is a nickname for Mary as is Betsey for Elizabeth. There are several others that are interesting but I don't have the list upstairs an am just running out the door! Gail Adams Editor of the Howland Quarterly p.s. I got that from Elizabeth White who was the editor of the Mayflower Quarterly a few years ago and a well respected genealogist.

While looking for some roots I found this in the Greene County Mo. records. DAVIS, Mary / DAVIS, Josiah #30236. Final Decree 14 Sep. 1900 Book 69 p 120. Default Decree for Plaintiff. Plaintiff entitled to the relief prayed for in her petition. (Josiah Davis m. Mary Young 2 June 1897). Not mine, hope it will help someone. Judy Born with a twelve foot question, looking for a six inch answer.

I am sorry but I always thought and have been told all my long life that POLLY was the nickname for Mary and that is way its been in my family, Sarah B
