No one in the family would talk about his death. I knew his name and the date of this death but nothing else. Something kept pushing me to find out this information. I was at the State Historical Library in the city where I live, looking at old newspapers on microfilm alone in the dark. No one knew me there, and I was surrounded only by other women. I had to leave shortly to meet my husband and had decided to stop my search for the day when I heard someone call out my name. It was a male voice that I never heard before that day nor have I heard it since. It told me to continue my search. So a shaking hand (mine) turned that handle one more crank to the next week's newspaper, and there it was -- all the information I was looking for and more. I don't know whose voice that was, but I strongly suspect it was my uncle calling to me from above, wanting me to know what had happened to him. MARRIED 10 YEARS WITH 19 CHILDREN by Chandra Martin lunar@ipa.net I stumbled across an article that I found so fascinating I want to share it with everyone. I have no relation to the family, but perhaps someone out there will appreciate having it. There are sure to be lots of descendants. From the ILLINOIS-IOWA-MISSOURI SEARCHER, Vol. 16 #1 Issue 53, page 25 (originally from THE NEWS-REPUBLICAN, Farmington, Iowa, April 6, 1911, but the dateline is Muskogee, Oklahoma). Married 10 Years, Have 19 Children Muskogee, OK -- Mr. and Mrs. Frank Scott of Highland, Kansas, are seeking a home in this state with plenty of land. They will need it, for although they have been married not quite ten years, they are the parents of nineteen children, all boys, and thirteen of them living. They hold the record for triplets, having five sets to their credit, and two sets of twins. All of her thirteen boys are under five years. Recently the Scotts, deciding that they must find more land, went to Alberta, Canada. They were not satisfied there and returned. On the return trip Mrs. Scott and her thirteen children all rode on one first-class ticket. At Omaha the conductor made a vigorous protest. "Madam, you cannot carry a whole Sunday School along with you on that one ticket," he said, "and you need not tell me those are all yours. You will have to pay for some of them." "The rules of this railroad provide that a child under five years may ride free, when accompanied by its parent with a first-class ticket, don't they?" retorted Mrs. Scott. "They do, but you will have to show me." Mrs. Scott dug down into her valise and brought out the Family Bible in which was recorded the names and ages of each of the children. The conductor had to give in. The mother and children occupied five double seats in the homeseekers' car and paid for only one. The names and ages of the children are: Ashbell, Archer and Austin, triplets 4 1/2 years old; Arthur and Arnold, twins, 3 1/2; Allan, Almon and Albin, triplets, 2 1/2; Albert, Albion and Adolph, triplets, 18 months; Abel and Abner, twins, 6 months. Mrs. Scott is 30 years old and her husband is only a year her senior. The mother and children are now in Highland [Doniphan County] Kansas, while the father is in Oklahoma seeking a location. ** PAID ADVERTISEMENTS ** If you are a parent, your family is probably your greatest pride and your greatest concern.

After a half-day of research at the great St. Louis County Library last October, we returned to New York without locating a group of relatives although we had an obituary naming a "St. John Cemetery" as the place of interment. A major St. Louis genealogy site lists all the county's cemeteries with record locations. An inquiry to Ross Boehning in January 2001 yielded in 24 hours ALL of the relatives interred in a family plot with their burial dates. This was a gift from Ross with only a request that a donation be made to help maintain the cemetery. Thanks for the great help! Alan Krauss alanjan@optonline.net [SHELTER ISLAND, NEW YORK CEMETERIES.

A survey of parish registers in New Zealand has not been published until this listing was completed. This edition lists more than 1,000 entries and the records of more than 15 religious denominations. These are vital records because civil registration by law of births did not start until 1848, whereas church records of baptisms began as early as 1815. Registration of European marriages commenced in 1854. Maori marriages commenced in 1911. Registrations of births did not begin until 1913, so the church register record will often be the only one that exists.

It is a wonderful diary with personal accounts of many events in world history and of interest to Australians is his travel with the First Fleet in settling there. It is my favorite book. Diane LeBlanc in Ohio dianeleblanc@wcnet.org * * * * * OBITUARY LINKS: ANIMAL OBITUARIES by Ernest Thode, Manager ernie@wcplib.lib.oh.us Local History and Genealogy Department Washington County Public Library Marietta, Ohio The canary obituary [ML 6:3] was touching. Here at the Washington County Public Library in Marietta, Ohio, we have a collection of more than 50 animal obituaries that we have found over the years, some of them interesting or touching. Here are just two examples. The Marietta, Ohio, TIMES, 17 Feb 1881, p. 2, col. 4, copied from the Pomeroy, Ohio, TELEGRAPH: "Thomas Cat Moore, for 14 years the silent member of the firm of S. A. M. Moore & Co., died last week of general debility, superinduced by long and arduous services in behalf of the firm. Adieu, poor Tom: Your nine lives passed quietly away in the midst of your friends. Rest quiet cat in peace" The Marietta, Ohio, DAILY LEADER, 9 May 1901, p. 2, col. 3., is heartbreaking: "Dog Commits Suicide. Abandoned by Its Owner, It Lies Down In Front of a Moving Train. In Bartonville, Vt., S. C. MORRISON, a prosperous farmer on the old homestead, decided to move with his family to Tacoma, Wash. The disposal of a Scotch [sic] collie dog, a family pet for many years, had been the subject of much discussion. It was finally decided to leave the animal behind. The household effects were sold and the family took their departure. The dog, left in the care of friends, appeared dejected, and the other afternoon evidently decided that life held nothing more for him. At the whistle of an approaching train he left the house. He was seen to go toward the railroad crossing. A call from the new master went unheeded. Deliberately stretching himself across the rail, the dog allowed the train to pass over him. The act was clearly premeditated, from the fact that he had been trained from a puppy to keep away from the railroad tracks, and had before always evinced a fear of approaching trains." * * * * * SUCCESSFUL LINKS MYSTERIOUS WAYS by Isabel Morse Maresh mareshme@acadia.net I was reading of the Bibles, family records, etc. that people come across in various places and would like to relate one of the many "miraculous" things that has happened in my research in 22 years. In 1988, I was compiling the descendants of Peter and Miriam [?Haskell] HEAL in the Waldo County section of Maine. Many of the descendants has stayed in the Town of Lincolnville, Maine, where they had settled, but many others moved to distant places in the State of Maine and across the country. I was at a yard sale, conducted by a woman who frequented estate auctions, buying what no one else wanted, and selling in her continuous sale. Much could have been classified as junk, but to researchers what is termed "junk" by some is a gold mine. I picked up a small black photo album, and opened to a snapshot with the caption, "The HEAL Family." I casually asked the price, not wanting to look too anxious. It was a few minutes before she answered me. Then she said, "I have more of them." She brought out eight scrapbooks and six small photo albums, all with photos of various branches of the HEAL family. I paid a good price for them, and worked them into the book which I did, A GENEALOGICAL WORKBOOK OF THE DESCENDANTS OF PETER HEAL. What are the odds that I would find those at a yard sale? The collection was by a woman whose ancestors had come from Lincolnville, Maine, and had migrated to Lagrange, Penobscot County, Maine, and she had moved back to neighboring Camden, Maine. She had no children of her own, but collected photos and clipped newspaper articles relating to her own relatives and those who bore the same name as well. I will never know how they ended up in an estate auction, and I will be eternally grateful to this woman whom I had never met. The strangest part of the whole tale is that I never did identify the photo of "The Heal Family." * * * NEWSPAPER ARTICLE POINTS THE WAY by Sherrie Haines haines@coastnet.com I started searching for ancestors by the old tried and true method of starting with myself and going backwards. The biggest help to me was finding a newspaper article in the Dutton Newspaper, Dunwich Township, Elgin County, Ontario, Canada, "Happy Celebration -- A Farm in Possession of One Family For 100 Years." This article confirmed family information that I knew about -- immigration to Canada in 1819 from Glassary Parish, Argyle, Scotland. McCALLUM was the family name. The LDS Family History Library's Scottish church records helped me find the baptism of all five brothers who came to Canada, although four of the brothers were shown with parents Zachariah McCALLUM and Christiana McBRAYNE, one brother was listed under Archie McCALLUM and Christian MacBREAN. Their two sisters were not shown in the records. In my family search, I always checked for 50th or 60th wedding anniversary stories in the local newspaper. Obituaries were always a big help. Three brothers -- John, Duncan, and Donald -- had come to Elgin County, while two brothers -- Malcolm and Archibald -- had settled in St. Andrew's East, Argenteuil County, Quebec. I know that the families had contact with each other -- a first cousin from Quebec married a first cousin from Elgin County, Ontario. Finding this one newspaper article opened a window into my family history. * * * * * FAMILY REUNIONS.

Howard Davies, Dorset, UK howda@lineone.net I came across a partial album of photographs from a trip to Fiji and Tonga in July and August 1922. The photographs belonged to a woman featured in some of the photographs but she is not named. I think she traveled with a female friend/relative named Jess on the ship S.S. NAVUA. The captain was Captain DAVEY. Fellow passengers who were named and photographed are Miss NELSON, Miss BROGLEY, Mr. A. A. SLOCOMBE, and Mr. E. L. ANSELL and family. Sites included in the photographs include the Methodist Mission on the Rewa River, as well as Suva, Nukualofo, and various royal graves on Tonga. There are also a number of photographs of the crew and a number of postcards of the places visited. Anyone who has a valid connection to these photographs is welcome to them. Mandy Jeffrey mandy@viewbank.vic.edu.au I have a picture taken on the USS NORTH CAROLINA during WWII. My Uncle Gerald ERWIN gave it to me several years ago. On the back he listed the names of the men in the picture with him. They are just last names but are as follows: O'BRIEN, STEVENSON, HARKNESS, SPANG, SMITH, HUEHNE, DAYS, and the last one I am not sure of but will spell it a couple different ways just in case: NORDYHE or NORAYHE. If you recognize any of these names as a member of the NORTH CAROLINA, I would be happy to see that you get a copy of the picture. Bonnie Jett, Portsmouth, Ohio rjett@zoomnet.net I have inherited from my great-uncle a unit history of the Eighth Air Force, VIII Air Force Service Command, 3rd Strategic Air Depot, 460th Sub Depot, that is about 60 pages long and covers all of WWII. He was the unit captain. I would love to be able to send this information to a reunion, but have no idea where to find survivors. Chris Litzsinger pioneergenealogy@hotmail.com I purchased three Swedish Bibles at an auction in Rhode Island. The first one, published in 1893, The Enberg-Holmberg Publishing Co.:s forlog., Chicago, is called "Biblisk Skattkammare Af P.A. AHLBERG." The name, Mr. Alexander BRUCE, is written on the inside cover, with the words "Juelhalsning fran forsamlinger 1824." I could find no papers or other names or dates inside. The second one, a two-volume set published in 1878, Stockholm. B. Balmquifts Uftiebolag., trudt hos U.L. Normans Boftrnderi- Uftiebolag, is called "Bibeln Med Forklaringar af Fjellstedt." The name Carl Johan BRUSE, and Pontiag, R.I., are written inside the front cover, as well as, the date "den 13 Oktober, 1881." Inside each volume is a poem, written in Swedish, cut out of the newspaper, no dates. I also bought two small books. One is entitled "The Pleasures of Life," by LUBBOCK. The name Ida G. STARIN and the date August 1894 are written on the inside cover. I could find no papers or other names or dates. The other book is entitled "The Pleasures of Memory," by Samuel ROGERS, published in London by Sampson LOW, MARSTON, LOW and SEARLE. A sticker on the inside cover reads "S. D. GALLAUDET." I could find no papers in this book, but there is a list of artists of the illustrations in the book: Samuel PALMER, J. D. WATSON, W. S. COLEMAN, Alfred COOPER, E. M. WIMPERIS, Charles GREEN, and J.W. KEYL. I hope these names can help someone and that these books can find there way to their rightful homes. Tracey Tlwfotiou@aol.com * * * * * LETTERS TO THE EDITORS. Please send letters and all submissions as plain text e-mall messages (no attachments or html) to RWR-Editors@rootsweb.com I note with some interest the message about the loss of the U.S. bomber in England in 1945 [ML 6:7]. After much research, I tracked down some of my relatives in Canada in 1999. I discovered that one of my relatives had been killed in England in 1945 whilst serving with the Canadian Air Force. His Lancaster bomber had crashed killing all Canadian and British crew members. By sheer chance I then heard on local radio that villagers near the crash site had decided to erect a memorial to the crew and that there was a problem tracking down relatives some 54 years after the event! Having only just found these relatives in Canada, I was able to send them details of the memorial service and the unveiling of the stone memorial. The Canadian family could scarcely believe what I was telling them. A member of that family traveled to England the following month to attend a simple yet moving service of remembrance, and meet relatives of other crew members and local villagers who remembered the crash and attended the scene in 1945. Of course, I was pleased to be able help arrange my relative's visit, but what impressed me was that this memorial was nothing to do with British or Canadian government agencies, but due entirely to the efforts of a small number of local villagers and Air Force veterans. Your subscriber Kim Sumek can take heart, since anything is possible, and be assured that the British have not forgotten the service from our allies in WW2. As an afternote I might add that one villager approached my relative in a pub after the ceremony and insisted that she accept a carrier bag containing aircraft debris and live ammunition from the crash site . . . but that is another story. Keith Wilby, Salisbury, England keith.wilby@which.net * * * Thank you for publishing "Hispanic Research Online or in a CD- ROM Database," by Peter E. Carr in MISSING LINKS, Vol. 6, No. 5. It will help clear up a lot of misconceptions. Here is some further information to add to that article. The entire reason behind the two surnames is that the woman does not lose her last name. For example, my birth name is Diana Aguayo Chaparro. My father's last name is Aguayo and my mother's maiden name is Chaparro. According to Hispanic custom, when I married, I dropped my mother's maiden name, and added my husband's last name, so my name is now Diana Aguayo Hall. In the old days, I would have been Diana Aguayo de Hall, or of the Hall family. This is why we have so many surnames with De, Di and D' in front of them. In my own family's genealogy, what I have done with the Family Trees software is use the suffix portion to add the mother's maiden name. I do not know if there is a program that will handle the names properly, but this seems to work well. Using the second last name as a suffix helps because Hispanics do not use Jr. when a son has the same first and middle name as his father. For example, my father is Luis Angel Aguayo Hernandez, and his father was Luis Angel Aguayo Burboa. There are many examples of this in my family's lineage, which is on my Web site at http://mira.aguayo.com/ . Diana Aguayo mirar@prodigy.net * * * In "DNA ANALYSIS: The Newest Genealogical Tool?" [ML 6:7], I was not sufficiently clear in describing the Thomas Jefferson/Sally Hemings situation. The DNA evidence strongly supports (but does not prove) that one of Sally Hemings' offspring shares a Y chromosome with Jefferson. This means that they share a common paternal ancestor but does not mean that Thomas was necessarily the father. There are several other candidates for paternity in this case. For a more thorough discussion of these issues, see http://www.monticello.org/plantation/hemings_resource.html http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/notable/sally.htm http://www.tjheritage.org/ John Thompson Johndnaguy@aol.com * * * I have had a terrific response to my offer to search [ML 6:6]; however, a date would be appreciated, and if one isn't sure where Hall County or Shelton, Nebraska is, an atlas is an invaluable tool. A researcher can look up the town, find the county, and check with RootsWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/ , and under Nebraska again find the county, which in turn will give a mind-boggling list of surnames. Unless a family has ties to my area, I do not have access to help -- the above is what anyone would need to do.
