Local historical and/or genealogical societies in places where the Kauffmans  
lived (especially earlier generations of the family) would welcome copies;  
also the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne IN.

When donating to a historical or genealogical society, if you want you can  
request that the book be reviewed in their newsletter or journal; this may  
result in more copies being sold.

Does anyone have any further information on my great grandfather.  His
name : 
JOHN PATRICK FENNESSY, born Ireland 1835 (maybe Tipperary).  His father's
name
was MATTHEW FENNESSY.  He emigrated to Australia (maybe Adelaide, SA)
arriving
in 1866 aboard the "Peeress".  He was a soldier and hotelkeeper.  In 1875
he
married Mary DOWNEY (father John).

I am wanting to know where exactly in Ireland he came from and any other 
information re family members etc. would be like 'striking gold'!

Subject:      Yellow Fever

Over the years, I've found some books which list people who died
in some of the early yellow fever epidemics.  All of these are
available in microform (microprint or microfiche), so your local
library should be able to get them for you via interlibrary.
Many large libraries will have these as part of the set called
"Early American Imprints".

Carey, Mathew, A Short Account of the Malignant Fever Lately
Prevalent in Philadelphia ... (1793).  Lists deaths from the
disease from Aug. 1st to the middle of Dec.

Fowell, Richard, Short History of Yellow Fever ... (1798).  Early
American Imprints # 33742.  Persons who died of the disease in
Philadelphia in Aug.-Oct. 1797.

Condie, Thomas, History of the Pestilence ... (1799).  Early
American Imprints # 35335.  3,521 names of persons who died of
yellow fever from Aug. 1 to Nov. 1st, 1798.

Hardie, James, An Account of the Malignant Fever ... (1798).
Early American Imprints # 35586.  Lists persons buried in New
York City who died from the disease from Aug. 1 to Nov. 14, 1798.

New York (City) Committee on Health, Names of Persons Who Have
Died ... of the Yellow Fever ... (1795).  Early American Imprints
# 29196.  About 700 names of persons buried in New York City from
July 29 to Nov. 1, 1795.

New York (City) Committee on Health, Record of Death (1799).
Lists victims of yellow fever in 1799 in New York City.

Holt, Charles, A Short Account of Yellow Fever ... (1798).  Early
American Imprints # 33890.  About 80 names of victims of the
disease in New London, Conn.

Plummer, Jonathan, The Awful Malignant Fever at Newburyport, in
the Year 1796 (1796?).  Early American Imprints # 31018.  44
names of persons dying at Newburyport, Mass.

At least one other book, published after 1800, contains a similar
list.  It is available on microfiche as part of the "Sabin"
collection, and should also be available as part of the Early
American Imprints, Part II, collection.

Hardie, James, An Account of the Malignant Fever, Which Prevailed
in the City of New York ... (1805).  Includes deaths from the
fall of 1805.

I'm not an expert of yellow fever, but these are books which
some researchers at the Texas A&M University Library have found
useful.  The lists, as I recall, are neither alphabetical nor
indexed, so you may have to do some digging.

This would be a pretty long shot, but my g-g-grandmother was Catharine
(Harshbarger) Hall.  When I first started researching my family a few
years ago I came across a piece of paper that suggested it might have been
"Hershberger."  She married Peter Hall probably in the late 1700s, and
probably in Pennsylvania, though I've never been able to confirm that.  
Around 1808 they moved to Greene and then Union Counties in Ohio.

He is covered in Pioneers of Wiregrass Georgia, vol 2, with corrections
in vol. 3, 4, and 4'. The data there, however, is quite similar to the data

I feel that I must respond to what I feel is a misleading and perhaps
defamatory characterization of Gaelic-L.  I belong to that list as
well as to Roots-L and several others.  All of us who spend time on
the Net know that Lists exist for specific purposes, and that these
purposes are usually clearly stated in material sent to list members
at sign-up.
When I saw Rick's original message to Gaelic-L, I was not at all
offended, but didn't answer since I did not know the answer to his
question.  There were two responses.  The first did, in fact remind
list members of the language-learning purpose for the list in what I
thought was entirely appropriate and inoffensive language, but did not
`royally flame' the questioner.  The second response was, in fact, a
defense of Rick's question since it involved the derivation of names
and not origins of families.  This second may have been from Rick (I
can't recall right now).
In any case, I do not think a "warning" is necessary in this
particular case.  I further think it necessary to be cautious before
sending a message which could be construed as derogatory to the whole
list publically.

Liberal Arts

Sorry, no. But they are in the (216) area code, and they practically
ARE the town of Berea, so anything addressed to Baldwin-Wallace College,
Berea, OH should get to them okay.

Not responsible for what people write... nor have I read it. There
were reasons why slaves were kept illiterate and in ignorance  that
suited their masters... Once freed, that is not a very good background
to make it in the world. I imagine that that is what the book is about.

In addition to the specific historical reference to the Dutch colony, I
included this one because it pointed to an aspect of later
turmoil...

One value of Melvyl is that it turns them up.

Hmmm. Close Debora: The only _Texan_ President Johnson was LBJ. Most of us,

$20. Maybe onto the $3? :-).
