My grandmother, Jennie Mary McNeil Jones (Born 1897 at Ashe Co. NC, Died
1876) claimed to be a relative of Robert E. Lee (the famous one). My mother
says that she based this on an article she read in the a newspaper (perhaps
from North Wilkesboro NC). I know my grandmother's ancestors back to 1780 or
before on all lines, but I know little of what is known about the geneology
of Robert E. Lee. Based on other stories in the family, I would expect that
some ancestor was a third cousin of Robert E. Lee. Does someone have some
suggestions on how I can fill in the details of these stories? I would
presume that their is a book somewhere on Robert E. Lee's geneology, but I
have never seen one.

Apparently not everyone who served was eligible for a pension, at
least in the Revolutionary War.  I have an ancestor who applied but
was turned down because he had not served at least six months.  Don't
know about other wars.

      Does anyone have access to the American Genealogical & Biographical 
Index , sometimes called the Rider Index, which are of the later editions that 
include indexing of the Boston Trancript Articles?  The LDS library only has 
filmed the early edition without the Boston Transcript included.  We have the 
index at our Public Library, but it only goes up to the letter S.  I know the 
Libr ary of Congress in Washington has it.  If someone does and can look up a 
couple of names for me, please contact me.  I am looking for only entries  
relating to the Boston Transcript.  It may be easier to Xerox the pages and 
send them to me Snail Mail.  I will send you the cost of doing this.  Or I 
will trade by looking up any article in the Boston Transcript for you and 
sending you copies.  thanks.

I am looking for the following:

Arnold YOUNG, New York 1796-
Clayton YOUNG,  anywhere anytime
Polly (TILTON) YOUNG  anywhere anytime
John T. (TILTON?) YOUNG in New York 179? to 1856
John TILTON in Maine, Mass., or New Jersey from 172? to 1810

Date: 8 Nov 1992 00:25:11 GMT
Organization: Stanford Univ. Earth Sciences
Distribution: world
NNTP-Posting-Host: pangea.stanford.edu

Several people have asked about my new microfilm reader - what I
got, how much, and whether I like it.  Here are the awers:

I purchased a Micron 760A microfiche reader ($389.50) with a
roll-film attachment ($129.50) from Everton Publishers, Inc.  I believe
that is their member price, so you'd have to join for 1 year to 
get it - I believe I paid about $18.00 at the California Genealogical
Society Fair for my membership.  (1-800-443-6325 is the phone # for
Everton).

I will accomodate 16 or 35 mm film, has 24x and 42x magnifications,
and has prisms that rotate so that you can orient your image any way
you want without moving the film around.

The only problem I had was in getting all the pieces delivered to me
correctly.  The microfiche reader was late, supposedly because the 
manufacturer was closing their Wisconsin plant and shipping everything
from Los Angeles. Then it took an extra two weeks to get the roll film
attachment.  And they only delivered one of the prisms, so I could 
only rotate when it was on high magnification.  Lots of phone calls
to the 800 number got everything straight, eventually.

The other minor problem was that the film was sticking as it would 
go through the two glass plates.  I put two small pieces of masking
tape on the glass to separate the plates and this solved the problem.

by the way, to use microfiche you do not need to take off the roll
film attachmt.  I don't see why they don't just sell the thing 
as a fiche/film reader, since now I have a fiche attachment that'll
probably never use.

AGLL also sells this reader, but the price was higher.

Hope this answers some questions.

Well, here goes my first shot at net-rooting.

I'm trying to make sense of the words *Sieur de la Forge* following the
name of French ancestors, Francois CASAULT, born in 1645, and his son,
Jean-Baptiste CASAULT.  It would appear to be his birth location, or
possibly a title.  If a location it would be in the vicinity of St.-Pierre
Langers in Normandy, France.  The question is, where?  Is there still a
village/jurisdiction of the same name?  If a title, what does it signify? 
Master of the foundry? 

I would like to hear from anybody else rooting in this time and location. 
I've just started rooting.  I had the good fortune to meet a researcher in
Quebec, Que., who had encountered and copied a CASAULT genealogy updated
in 1959, tracing the family back to Francois.  Unfortunately, the work is
undocumented, so I am now starting the process of verification and
documentation.  I would appreciate any suggestions for 16th and 17th
century sources in Normandy. 

Merci!
Rick

We just recently heard about the LDS IGI CD-ROM, and we are wondering if
there are any organizations that have this available ON-LINE through the
Internet or through dial-up or do we have to visit their institution to
access the database?

Also, are there any organizations that have other genealogy data on-line
or provide network or dial-up access to their database or do the LDS people
provide on-line or dial-up access to their databases either in Utah or any of
the regional libraries?

Can an individual genealogist purchase the IGI CD-ROM?  If so, what is the
price?  Probably pretty high?

Any other ON-LINE access of genealogical datbases would be helpful?

I'm attempting to trace my great-grandfather Christian Mueller's ancestry
and would like to enlist the net's help.   He arrived in the USA
in the 1870's and settled in Pittsburgh, setting up his own business as
a wagon maker.  According to family tradition, he insisted he was not German,
but Swabian (aus Schwaben) and spoke with a south-German accent.  His death
certificate lists his parents as Johan Mueller and Maria Haemgler.  Now Mueller
(where the 'ue' stands for an 'umlaut u') is too common to trace in generic
searches, but Haemgler (where I assume the 'ae' stands for an 'umlaut a')
seems not so ordinary.  I've had one search done in the US of some West German

I find that pre 19th Century European history, as it relates to genealogy, is
almost as shocking among white folks. While they may not have been slaves, 
they certainly were not free either. To move into an area and settle down to 
life usually meant giving up your rights to the landholder or local authority 
either lay or religious. In Germany 'Leibeigenschaft' was the norm of the 
times. It was not until the latter part of the 18th century when people 
started to assert themselves and bargained for more freedoms to act as they 
pleased.  Before one had such freedom, one could not simply leave the area
without buying your own freedom from the masters of the manor by whatever 
title they went.  We must remember that even the Reformation was a matter of
the local lords fighting it out and that their subjects switched religions as
they were told - back and forth sometimes.  Freedom of conscience was not part
of the game until it was negotiated over time as a right of the individual.

To find that most of our white ancestors mostly lived among the animals 10 or
20 people in a sort of a stable and not all that long ago, brings history into
perspective and also shows why so many people left that life-style to come to
America where such ownership conditions did not exist except for brief periods
of indenture.

I have never taken census info to seriously.  Realize that the
census taker wrote down whatever the people told them.  Sometimes
people just had faulty memories, but other times they would
out right lie.  Sometimes it was for simple reasons such as
a woman not wanting to tell her true age.  Others were social
or political.  My gg-grandfather denied that he fought with the
South, yet we have irrevocable evidence to the contrary.  Sometimes
the census taker would garner the information from the next door
neighbor if the person wasn't home.  In which case what the 
neighbor thought was true would be put down.  Census records
can help you find things and give you clues, but always double
check them.  If it varies with what another record gives you
then doubt the census record first.

Have you tried the Washington University library?

A search of our online catalogue at the University of Chicago shows
only soil surveys for Coal County, OK; perhaps a history of a larger
portion of the state, or of Oklahoma as a whole, would be helpful.

There's at least one history of Franklin County, PA:

.F8H6       the county, its townships, towns, villages, schools, churches,
 Gen        industries ... biographies; history of Pennsylvania, statistical

If you don't have it locally, you could try Inter-Library Loan.

[I could have sent this to Samantha, but Franklin County is likely to be

Subject:      county histories

I am looking for books of county histories for Franklin County,
Pennsylvania and Coal County, Oklahoma.  Hopefully these books would
include biographies of citizens but this is not necessary.

Thanks in advance, Samantha
