I got a copy of the GEDCOM spec from the server at genserv@csoftec.csf.com and
called the GEDCOM Coordinator at the LDS looking for code. They said there is C
code that they placed in the public domain in the Compuserve Genealogy
conference, but that they would send me a floppy with a `newer' code for free.

That was the week of christmas and I haven't received it yet...

Comments: To: roots-l@vm1.nodak.edu

My ancestor, John B YEARGAIN, was a Justice of the Peace and performed
several marriages in De Kalb County, Alabama (in the area that is now Etowah
County) prior to the Civil War.  Can anyone tell me if there is any
information as to how he attained this position?  Did he run for office, or
was he appointed?  If the latter, who would have appointed him?  Would there
be any archives as to why he was chosen, when, etc.?  I wrote to the Alabama
State Archives, asking if they had any such records, but received no reply.

  While I was dialed into the local library's database I happened to
  take a look at the other libraries in the system and see if MELVYL
  was in the network. Sure enough there it was! Now I won't have to
  ask Tom Lincoln for his help in looking up reference materials in
  MELVYL (thanks Tom).

  The main reason for this posting is to alert other rooters to the
  fact that their local library may have full access to the network
  of libraries around the country. I didn't know how extensive it
  was until I looked.

  Another question, how extensive is the library network? I've only
  looked around a little bit but is seems like it's rather large.

  What follows is the menu from my local library.

  Have Fun!

Subject:      President Andrew Johnson's Genealogy Question
Comments: To: roots-l@vm1.nodak.edu

A while back I posted a query on the net about the genealogy of
President Andrew Johnson. I received several replies and Sue
Funk (thanks again, Sue) sent me copies of the North Carolina
Genealogical Newletter about Andrew Johnson and his father
Jacob Johnson. The articles stated that Andrew Johnson's father
was not from Virginia and that Margaret Johnson (my many great
grandmother) was not his sister. The article elaborated on the
Johnson family and it gave me another lead into the Henkle
(Henckel) family. Well, I let this pass and went off in other
areas.

One of these areas was the search for Hannah Henkle, several of
my (distant) cousins (thanks Ashley and Jim) replied to me about
the Henckel Family. I discovered, much to my delight, a book about
the Henckel Family in my local library (thanks again, Jean Paul).
This past weekend I spent several hours with this book and discovered
that President Andrew Johnson's line was in this book and his grandaughter
Margaret Johnson (Patterson) Bartlett daughter of Martha Johnson
and David Trotter Patterson contributed the genealogical information
on President Andrew Johnson! She even documented the connection
through Margaret Johnson (my many great grandmother). She stated
that her grandfather (President Andrew Johnson) was a descendant of
Hannah Henkle and Arthur Johnson. My great great grandmother Rachel
(Skidmore) Scott also contributed to the book and she also gave the
compilers the same information.

Now my question, who can one believe? Do you go with the prominent
genealogists/historians or your own relations? I would hope that the
grandaughter of President Johnson would have known her own family
line. My great great grandmother didn't, to my knowledge, even know
her distant cousin so how could have both come up with the same
data?

Thanks

Mike

In 1752, Canada (i.e. what was called Canada at that time) was not a
British colony.  Thus, the "New France" was already synchronized with
France which is New Style since 1582.

However, the Acadia (New Brunswick and most Nova Scotia except Cape Breton
Island) were British since 1713.  I am not sure about Newfoundland (I
would say it was British since 1713).  British Columbia and Western provinces
were not yet settled (and if BC was, it was with British date zone).

Subject:      ANTLEY Query
Comments: To: roots-l@vm1.nodak.edu

  Since I seem to be stuck researching other surnames (for the
  present), I've decided to start looking at other surnames that
  I haven't touched as of yet.

  This query has to do with the surname ANTLEY. My great great
  grandmother was Mary Ann ANTLEY who married my great great
  grandfather John Holland on May 1, 1859 in Henry County, Alabama.
  She was born in Abbeville, Henry Co., Alabama about 1825. After
  John Holland died during the American Civil War, she remarried in
  1865 to a George W. Mock in Georgia. My great grandfather, William
  Holland, was John and Mary Antley Holland's only son. Family
  information about both the Holland's and Antley's is scarce to say
  the least.

  If anyone is researching the surname ANTLEY or knows the country
  of origin for this surname please let me know, any lead no matter
  how small would be greatly appreciated.

  If anyone else is doing research in Henry Co., Alabama, I have a
  copy of the marriage records for the groom's name starting with
  the letters "HA-HO" dates 1821-1868 that I would be more than glad
  to lookup for you. It's only one page but has a number of marriages
  listed.

  Thanks

  Mike

Here is what the 10th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica says--
  In 1784, NC offered to cede her western territory to the U.S.  The
inhabitants feared that they would be left without any government and were
mad that NC would cede them away without their consent.  They began to
form a new government, meanwhile NC repealed its offer of cession.  The
westerners, by 1785 finished organizing the State of Franklin, elected
Sevier governor, and sent a delegate to Congress to request admission
as a state.  Four counties were created.  NC was very diplomatic, repeated
its repeal of the cession and remitted the taxes which the Frankliners
hadn't paid since 1784.  Consequently, when Sevier's term expired, no
sucessor was elected, and the State of Franklin died (Congress had 
refused to admit it also).
   After his term had expired, men under Servier's command massacred
some Indians and provoked a war in which Sevier took part.  He was
arrested by NC, partly for his role in the S. of Franklin and partly
for the Indian massacre, but he escaped.  (This is in 1788)  In 1789,
he served in the NC senate, and in 1790-91 in the U.S. Congress from
NC.
   In Feb 1790, NC again ceded its western land to the U.S., and in
May 1790, the "Territory South of the Ohio" was organized.  And TN
became a state in June 1796.  Sevier was the first governer, serving
from 1796-1801 and 1803-09, again in the U.S. House 1811-15.

   In Feb 1790

Greetings,
I am a new member of this list.  The names which I hope to search include the
following:  All began in New Orleans-Gretna area.
Maternal side: Evans (via Kentucky (Bromley, Covington); Ohio (Hillsboro);
Gretna & New Orleans) earliest known are Samuel and Hugh Evans. Hugh was a
revolutionary soldier. What we really want to know is which part of Wales
this branch of the Evans family may have hailed from); Dr. Sommerville of
Louisville
    Also on mother's side: Witzman, Durand (Paris), Doss (Ky? Ohio?),
LaPayrone (LaPeyrone?)
Paternal: Hotard (I'm told all the Hotards in America are related; before
   the U.S., it was probably Otard, maybe Autard?)
        Also paternal: de Gruy, Herzog, Gertner (sp?), Rosevalley (sp?),
                        Ganzano (s?)    (he was a ship's captain when
                        GG Gerner fell in love with him on the passage over.
I'm totally new to this genealogy searching, so please bear with me.

Sorry, but I have only two TIMBERLAKEs in my PAF - John and a daughter.
However, I do have Mary Johnson going back several generations.

You are welcome to the information on the Johnson's, that is if your
Mary Johnson is Mary Lynch Johnson of lower VA.  Mary ties into the
Clark's, Johnson's, Anthony's, ...

If you have information on Mary's ancestors, maybe you (or someone out there)
can help me.  What is the story concerning the "head" of the Anthony
line - Mark Anthony who arrived in New Kent County, VA around 1700?
The story that I have been told that he was from Genoa, went to sea,
was captured by pirates, escaped, and ended up in New Kent County.
That is an interesting story, but ....  Does anyone heard of another
version, or something more believeable?

Oh  if your Johnson and my Johnson are the same, then they were most likely
Quakers.  I have several references about Anthony/Clark/Johnso and the
church - clerk of the church, reading for the church, being thrown out
of the church...

residing in a seniors' lodge or similar residence?
Thanks!

Being new to the group, I unfortunately don't know the standard format.
It would be good to get into the database archives.  Care to give me
some tips?

  I have ancestors who worked as coal miners in the mid-to-late 1800's, 
stretching from PA. to MO. Anyone know of any centralized office that may 
contain records of those who worked as coal miners? I have names of 1 or 2 
coal mining companies, but they no longer exist.
