We are 155 strong and still growing. I keep laughing when I think that I volunteered to combine a few eMails and send to the other half dozen or so folks who were exchanging information on a few Southwestern Virginia families. The success of this group depends on the generosity of its members. You have been very generous. Check out Chris Gaunt's home page: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt Nyla ==================================== Subj: Burnett Research Date: 97-06-28 06:01:48 EDT From: pford@bellatlantic.net (Patricia Ford) Please add my name to the group of Burnett family researchers. The oldest link I have been able to confirm (time is very limited) is Jeremiah Burnett, m Mildred (unable to determine maiden name) in Lunenburg County. Twelve children appear in will of Jeremiah as follows: Jeremiah, Jr m Diana Davis in 1804, Robert Burnett m Cloe Maddux in 1800, Fielding Burnett d 2/14/1814, Leroy Burnett m Ann Keats 2/12/1819, Phillip Burnett, Spencer Burnett d 1/3/1816, Forester Burnett m Martha Andrews 5/12/1814, Catherine Burnett m Robert Murrell 4/9/1800 - two children Malissa & Narcissa (possibly twins), Matilda Burnett m John Goodwin 4/1819, Judith Burnett, JoAnna Burnett m William Davis 10/10/1804, Joel Burnett d 3/1/1818. All occurred in Lunenburg County, Virginia, however early deeds indicate Jeremiah came to Lunenburg Co., from Dinwiddie, County, VA. Other information available if interested. ============================= Subj: Burnett list Date: 97-06-28 08:05:01 EDT From: gballard@jps.net (Ginger Ballard) Thank you for allowing me to listen in on your BURNETT discussions for a while. My interest in the family is as neighbors in Patrick County to "my" Isham BARNARD. One researcher some years back wrote a book based on the premise that Isham BARNARD was really Isham BURNETT but later others convinced her that she was mistaken. Anyway, please remove my name from your distribution list. It's time for me to get back to work on my own puzzles. BTW, hope you enjoy the left coast as much as we do! We came out here (from Virginia) thinking we would be here four years. That was 28 years ago. --Ginger in San Jose <gballard@jps.net> ================================ FOLKS: Does anyone researching the Patrick Co VA area recognize the name Isham BARNARD? Sure would be nice if we could help Ginger. - Nyla ================================ Subj: Good Luck on your move to San Diego Date: 97-06-28 14:52:50 EDT From: bigtop@mylink.net Nyla, I have asked this before... What genealogy program do you use for storing your Descendants? Before I purchased a powermac I used PAF from the Mormon Organization. My Son gave me a program called Family Gathering. Before I begin to transfer all my Turner info I just need to know what might be best. Thank You, Johnny Turner PS My wife and I were married in San Francisco 35 years ago this June 24th and later lived in San Diego ============== Hi Johnny, Sorry I didn't answer your question. I am using Family Tree Maker. I have updated it as the new versions have become available. I'm using 3.4 and I received a notice that there's an update (4.0) available now. So, I guess I'll check on updating to that soon. (Lately, everything seems to be on my "soon to do list" or my "sooner or later to do list". I'm just making lists, not doing much. Unfortunately, it has been months since I have done anything much with FTM. There seems to be so little time. Why don't I put your question in the next compilation? It would be interesting to hear what folks are using and their opinions. I'm finding the weather here wonderful. After last week's 100 degree temperature and high humidity in Northern VA/DC/MD area, this is a real treat. Nyla =========================== FOLKS: Anyone want to tell us about your genealogy program or programs? Name of Genealogy Program and version? Approximate price? How long have you used it? Would you recommend it to others? What do you like about it? What do you dislike about it? Additional comments. Nyla ===================== Subj: Fwd: burnett line Date: 97-06-29 01:09:54 EDT From: DHONBERGER ----------------- Forwarded Message: Subj: Re: burnett line Date: 97-06-15 13:13:45 EDT From: DHONBERGER To: scburn1@earthlink.net Yes, that is Aunt Georgie. This is so exciting. My mom has a cousin that has been researching the line. His name is Phil Baker. He sent us pictures and several items that he had found. I was trying to find him on line but haven't located him yet. Do you have any idea what his e-mail address might be? Here's info to add to your line in case you don't already have it. Cornelius/Nancy Burnet had 11 children. The oldest was John J Burnett and the youngest was Cornelius T Burnett. My mother's grandfather was next to the youngest.

Elizabeth is thought to have died after 1825 in Patrick Co., VA. Have Elizabeth's parents been identified? Would appreciate help from the list members to fill in Elizabeth's ancestry. Linda tlmart@cascade.net =============================== Subj: Re: Comp #135 - Burnett-Turner-Ross-Via-Etc/Etc Date: 97-06-29 16:23:29 EDT From: anhughes@palmnet.net (Ann N. Hughes) Nyla, Two things.... First, how about we add the Tate family to this compilation? I noticed Jerry Lou Patterson's message about Elizabeth Tate and John Burnett, Sr. They are among my ancestor families and I know next to nothing about the Tates. Second, regarding an message in Compilation #124 from David, I made a copy of the total compilation and sent it to James Turner. Jim is the author of Cathell-Rangeley-Turner, Gateway, 1988 and the supplement. He had several comments about filling in some of the blanks and some corrections to the data starting with the first generation. Unfortunately Jim is not well and his information is not computerized; however, the information can be found in his book along with the documentation. Again, unfortunately, Rangely is not a line of mine and therefore not in my database. Ann ============================== Ann and All, Linda Martinson just asked about the parents of Elizabeth Tate, too. The Etc/Etc in our title allows us to include any family we care to discuss. The Via surname just hasn't brought much interest. I think I will get back on AOL's genealogy forum and add info on our group for TATE, ROSS, and VIA. Also, I'll add a post on VA about the families. We've been getting new TURNER and BURNETT researchers. So, I'll work on the other families and see if anyone shows an interest. Nyla ============================== The end of this compilation.
