Greetings to Everyone:
More eMails for you to enjoy. We've had several responses to Kevin's inquiry
about a TREE Project. Just hold on to your files until Kevin lets us know
what type of information he's wanting sent to him. This will be another way
for us to share information. Thanks, Kevin.
Chris is working on the automation process. Thanks, Chris. So, until she
gives us the word, send your eMails to me.

<< Nyla, why are you excited about this list being automated?
then it will be just like all the other rootsweb list.
I had thought this list was special, because it was different
more personable.
The other rootsweb list the owners tell you, you can't
send your generation info.
they are very boring.

Glenda: Your message really touched me. The past two years has been such a
wonderful experience for me. I agree this group of cousins is special and
personable. When I think about the personal accomplishments I made in my
lifetime, I would put this near the top of the list. We were together as a
group for two years and had absolutely no rules. We started off with 17
folks. We have 221 at this moment. Whatever anyone wants to share on their
family has always been accepted. The group is truly interested in sharing
family history. Folks give so generously. This is indeed a group effort.
As a result of the generosity of our group, I spend many hours every day
trying to compile the eMails and respond to folks. I try to make this special
because everyone on the list is special. As a result, there is never any time
for me to work on my own genealogy. I have not been to a library since I
arrived in San Diego in June. I am neglecting everything around me
(especially, my housekeeping duties) <smile> just to keep on top of the
eMails. Please don't take this as complaining, I loved every second of it;
but I need to move on to other projects, too.
Chris once asked me how I was holding up. I didn't want to admit that I was
barely hanging on, so I kept doing it. Finally, I realized I couldn't keep
compiling the eMails much longer since we had outgrown my capabilities. I
then asked Chris and Kevin to come up with a plan to bail me out from under
all the eMails. Chris volunteered immediately and begain working on the
transition.
Once we completely switch to the automated system, you'll receive a welcome
message telling you all the basic information. It also mentions that there is
a an ftp site where files can be sent. This will allow folks to continue to
share their gedcoms and research notes, or whatever. Chris is planning to
handle larger files, too. There will also be a link back to her homepage
where some files already reside and where all our "old compilations" live.
Kevin is working on a plan so we can share our trees. I don't know the
details of his plan just yet. I do know this is something he and Chris have
discussed in the past, and Kevin recently mentioned it to me again. I think
this will aid the group tremendously, as it has such wonderful potential for
all of us.
I'll still be around. I'm trusting you and the rest of the group will still
be available to help folks with their lines. And, maybe, I can work on my
genealogy and take advantage of all the wonderful information that folks have
shared already.
Thank you for writing and letting me know about your concerns. I hope you
can understand why it is now time to automate and expand our capabilities. We
still have the same opportunity to keep the group personable and not allow it
to get boring. After all, this group is NOT at all like all the other groups.
We are special and personable--never boring.

Hi Nyla and Kevin,
I'm very new to the list, but I'd be happy to send you a .GED file for
my husband's Burnette line. Unfortunately, I only have three generations
of Burnettes in my database! But hopefully it will connect up with
someone and then I'll have more.
Just let me know when you're ready for the file, and I'll send it along.
Thanks for all this hard work!

Nyla,
I have a correction and a question for you.
Samuel Corn who married Mary and Susan Slaughter was the daughter of John
Slaughter and Mary Handy not Hanby. Mary Handy's parents were John and
Elizabeth Handy.
Speaking of John Slaughter. He had 10 children, I have 9 of them now, I did
not have Mary Slaughter. Could it be Elizabeth Slaughter?

I am looking for a Stephen Turner son of Constantine and Mary Lavinder Turner.
He was born in Franklin Co, VA in 1845. He and brother Joseph Thomas were in
the 54th Infantry, Co. I from Floyd Co, VA in the Civil War. They were
captured and were either prisoners in Ohio or PA. After the war they came
back home to Floyd Co. Stephen left there and supposedly was working on the
Ohio River and was never heard from again.
Does anyone know of a Stephen Turner who might fit this scenario??

<< Any one interested in being on one of our many needed welcoming committee?
I need a lot of volunteers. The sign up list is being passed around now.
Let me know if you want to be a Greeter. All you do is read the messages and
when you find someone also interested in your surname or the same county where
your ancestors lived, just drop them a note of welcome. >>
Nyla,
Sure, I'll be glad to greet people for any BURNETT descendants and others
who went from Virginia to middle Tennessee. Especially if they went on from
middle Tennessee to Jefferson County, Alabama.
You have done a great job with this list, and I know Chris and Kevin will do
so as well. I'll be glad to do what I can.

Nyla,
Looks like I need to post my "I" mark query again. I must not have made
my request clear ao I will try again:
David, who responded in the last post, must have misunderstood what I
was requesting so there is a possibility that others did also, and I
really need some help and other eyes out there looking, if you will
forgive the pun.
I am asking if anyone has seen a mark resembling a ROMAN NUMERAL "ONE"
written in Roman Type or a CAPITAL LETTER (eye as I) with a horizontal
slash across the middle used as a signature mark by a James Turner in
deeds in VA, NC, or South Carolina between the dates of abt 1750 and
1796 when this mark is found on deeds in Hancock County GA?
It is obvious to me that James could not write his name, but it also
appears that he made an attempt to create a distinctive mark rather that
the usual X or + seen on many deeds, recorded by clerks in the county
records for those who were unable to sign their names in their own
handwriting. I hope this clears up any possible confusion.
Thank you,

I would like to participate in creating the TREE. What do I need to do?
I use The Master Genealogist (TMG). I think that I can create any type of
file that would be helpful. My line is (1) Bedford James Turner; (2) Elijah
Turner, Sr.; (3) Meador Turner; (4) Albert Turner. Do you want it to include
any living descendents? I personally do not have a problem with my name being
included.

I'm writing to CORRECT a mistake in the following family:
JEAN BLEWETT was the daughter of WILLIAM BLEWETT (not James as stated).
Probably makes no difference to the BOSWELL AND ABNER TURNER DESCENDANTS, but
we should be exact.....sorry...slip of the keyboard...or the mind!
