Greetings to Everyone:
Chris has good news for us concerning GEDCOM files. See below.
More cousins have resonded to our poll. From the responses, we
certainly have a lot of variety among our group. Although we may
be very different in many ways, we all have at least one thing in
common--learning about our ancestors.

Nyla, and All,
If folks want to share their GEDCOMs, I can store them either on my
server space at www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt (I keep increasing
my storage space there as needed), or on Genealogy Online
(www.genealogy.org/~gaunt/)
One neat thing about GEDCOMs is that they can be converted to
html and uploaded to a web page. I've done this for another surname
(Gant/Gaunt), and the results are pretty neat. You can see the intro
page at:
http://www-personal.umich.edu/~cgaunt/Gaunt/gant/index.htm
I think it would be neat to list names and email addresses of folks
researching that family at the bottom of each family group sheet page.
Anyway, if folks have a file they want made available, they can send it
to me (but if it's really large, give me a warning so I can clean out my
mailbox! <grin>)

Hi guys!!
I've been offline for about a week...just got back on. I ended
up replacing the system board in my computer to stop the problems
I've been having.
Will be converting the compilation zipfiles to self-extracting
mode this week. Jonathan says he can unzip them just fine.
Tammy-
I don't recognize any of the names you mention, but it's
possible they tie into my line somewhere. My ancestors were in
Owen and Putnam counties in Indiana, and Shelby County,
Kentucky...I haven't looked at a map...are these even close??
When I get caught back up again, I'll research this more
thoroughly!

From: Meowtalker
To: NCreed1
In my search for Rebecca Turner, b. 1801, m. 1822, to Jonas Byrd,
Jr., I've found information I need help with.
According to Pioneer Families of Franklin Co.,VA, Mechach Sr.
and Rebecca (Robertson) Turner had sons James and John,
daughter Rebecca. I've just been told by a Byrd cousin that John,
s/o Meshach & Rebecca may be the father of "my" Rebecca.
However, according to an email I rec'd, info believed to be from
WFT, "my" Rebecca is the daughter of Meshach S. Turner and
Sally Farmer.
Does anyone have anything that might help me here?
Thanks

I've been working on genealogy off and on since 1972. Right now I'm
working on the National Genealogical Society course and since I live in
upstate NY and none of my ancestors are from around here, I have
accomplished much on my own lines lately.
I descend from John Turner and Elizabeth Dillard(?) through their
son George. I'm interested in many surnames. My Rosses are from
IL via NJ and MA.
Good luck with your survey.

I am responding to your poll. I hope it's not to late as I
have been off of AOL for a couple of weeks, having updates made
to our system. Feel free to use any of my information.
I live in Maryland ( near Frederick), although I am a
Virginian at heart, as I was born and raised there. I have four
children ranging from first grade to a freshman in college. I have
been involved with genealogy for about 6 years, trying to tie my
VA/NC Turner's to the MANN surname. I paint beautiful
glasswear in my spare time. (I will be online with my crafts within a
month.) I am researching the surnames: TURNER, MANN AND,
BUFFIN, all of Virginia. Thanks to the wonderful information I
have recv'd from your newsletter, I have now put my Turners in
Patrick and Henry Counties of Virginia.

To: NCreed1@aol.com
I don't have these people in my database, but I will file this away in
the hopes that it may help later on. Unfortunately, with names like
Clark, John, Sarah, Susanna, it makes things extrememly difficult.
I'm getting very frustrated with the whole thing!!! I've ordered 111
original Patrick Co. Deeds as a last resort. Thank goodness for my
cousin going in with me financially on the project! I figure if the
deeds don't help, I'll be out of a lot of money for nothing, but I've
got to try it. If nothing else, maybe I can find some other way to do
something good with these original records.
BTW, no one has replied to my earlier question about land records
and my Susannah Reynolds possibly being a widow. If anyone has
any ideas on this, PLEASE share them with me! Thanks again!

>Nyla, this is in reply to Jeannie or MadamX. Sarah Stephens born
circa 1790, in Amherst or Patrick Co., VA, daughter of Mary
Unknown Burnett (first married to John Burnett that died in the
Rev. War from Amherst Co., VA) and Philip Stephens, married a
Mr. Clark. I think she is in 1830 Monroe County, Tennessee,
census as a widow, along with several of her brothers. I don't
know Mr. Clark's first name. In his 1830 Roane County,
Tennessee, probate, Philip Stephens names her as Sarah or Sally
Clark. That is all I know about her.

Subj: BURNETT GUEST BOOK
Date: 97-11-21 05:58:00 EST
From: waddie@earthlink.net (waddie)
To: NCreed1@AOL.COM
Hi Nyla & all my other cuzins,
Reason for writing this is because one day not long ago I was on a
Burnett home page and there was a guest book there. I took the time to go
through all of it looking for Burnett researchers. A lot of them I didn't
recognise the names or addresses so I wrote to them. And guess what? I
found a brand new cuzin!
What I have done is create a Burnett/e (and various spellings) guest
book on my Burnett page. Not everyone knows about Nyla'a compilation pages
yet but they can find mine and your Burnett web site. I hope they all will
do as I did and look at and sign the book.
If you would, please sign the guest book and leave your surnames you
research there. IT WORKS! Could be a "not yet found" cuzin has the
ancestors you are looking for.
If you have a Burnett web site or a web site with Burnett information
PLEASE let me know so I may create a link to it. My web site is at,
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/3348
Thanks all,
Cuzin Waddie
