Our story of why their aunts/uncles didn't take them centered on the fact that neither side approved of their marriage, and the dying mother didn't want her children to get poisonous impressions of their opposite sided family members. Louisville was too far to keep in close contact. My advice - yes! Call them and ask to access the records. You may have to prove familial descent, but push to get them - they belong to your family! Hopefully they will help fill in the blanks!<br />Good luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700942096676683769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891341104960753282.post-46564107959436734102017-03-06T18:32:42.241-05:002017-03-06T18:32:42.241-05:00Thank you!We're so glad to have her back!Thank you!We're so glad to have her back!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700942096676683769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891341104960753282.post-39300724120299526532017-02-23T18:43:56.597-05:002017-02-23T18:43:56.597-05:00My mother was in the Christian Church Widows &...My mother was in the Christian Church Widows & Orphans Home at the same time as your grandfather. She died in 1999 at the age of 81. Her mother placed her along with 2 of her 3 brothers in the orphanage after their father died at the age of 29 in a hunting accident. Louisville was very far from their home in Elkhorn City, KY. There were many relatives in the area but I assume they were all too poor to take them in. Her older brother was probably too old to be accepted and stayed with other family. Their mother died a few years after they were put in the orphanage but my mother never found out what caused her death from either the orphanage or other relatives. When she got ovarian cancer, she always wondered if her mother had died from cancer. It would have been helpful to know. I have a picture of one of her brothers sitting in the same chair as the picture of your grandfather. Maybe I should try to contact the Christian Church. Thanks for all your information.Sharon Dowlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17433267251044447621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891341104960753282.post-77023885004097922312017-01-16T03:18:27.996-05:002017-01-16T03:18:27.996-05:00What an amazing and exciting find!

It was one of the earliest steamers to operate on Conneaut Lake (in NW PA). The "Tuna" was hauled to Evansburg (now Conneaut Lake) by rail in 1881 and then drug by bobsled to the lake. Prior to this she ran up and down the Allegheny River. It was owned by Frank Parker and Sylvester McGuire from Oakland Beach on the east side of the lake with John Whiting as the Captain. The "Tuna" was intended to be a direct competitor of the lake's other large steamer, the "Keystone" and the owners originally gave rides for free but eventually charged 25 cents for a round trip. This is a splendid picture of what it was like for passengers waiting to load up for a trip around the lake. The boat's significance takes on more meaning within the great context of the full history of the lake and Conneaut Lake Park (then known as Exposition Park). The park is still in operation and is opening for its 125 season this weekend. You can find more about this steamer and other in "Conneaut Lake Ferry Tales" by Don Hilton, and in Bronson Luty's book, "The Lake as it Was."

The warrant was issued by virtue of the warrantee's having a warrant in right of settlement in Monongalia County, VA. The original warrant is in the Library of Virginia. Records of these two places in addition to the KY Secretary of State's Land Records were required to see the whole picture.<br /><br />I could really use Kandie Adkinson's wisdom. Thank you for such a great explanation of her expertise.<br /><br />Now if I could only find a record of guardianship for children of Edward McShane, of the corner of Harrison County adjacent to Bourbon and Nicholas Counties (but in Bourbon County in the crucial years 1796-1797), I would be happier than the proverbial piggie in the waller.<br /><br />Thank you for your great blog posts!<br />Geoloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050268303916428230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891341104960753282.post-71153235076299052442014-05-07T10:06:52.465-04:002014-05-07T10:06:52.465-04:00thank you for this very useful article, hopefully ...thank you for this very useful article, hopefully we can welcome a visit at this website<br /><a href="http://goo.gl/FLpPuw" rel="nofollow">obat herbal sakit bronkitis</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020048078383782265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891341104960753282.post-54579837877955517652014-05-07T10:06:34.088-04:002014-05-07T10:06:34.088-04:00thank you for this very useful article, hopefully ...thank you for this very useful article, hopefully we can welcome a visit at this websiteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020048078383782265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7891341104960753282.post-79602451740476353102014-04-29T21:15:46.255-04:002014-04-29T21:15:46.255-04:00Ameya, As I was reading and linking, and posting, ...Ameya, As I was reading and linking, and posting, and responding, yesterday, I forgot...Luckie is in Arizona :-( She asked about my Cincy roots, so I made a mental leap that happened to be wrong. Anyway...have you hooked up with the NextGen Genealogy Network? I think much of their surge is in the area of technology, but they welcome all issues pertinent to the next phase of genealogists coming on the scene. There are also some top community folks in there. I think this would make for a great issue they could sink their teeth into. If they are going to be the genealogy leaders of tomorrow, might as well make this issue one of the priorities! I think you both ought to look into this group as a venue for game changing! I'm leaning toward joining myself - just turned 40 last year, so I might sneak in without too much fuss. http://www.tnggn.org/ <br /><br />I'm sure Luckie will let us know about more ways we can help, but yes, let's keep this channel of dialogue open! If you head to NGS next week, let me know! Talk about getting this in front of the community leaders, I wonder if Jen Baldwin would consider making this a #genchat subject sometime? Kinda like recreating the open dialogue of your college class! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700942096676683769noreply@blogger.com
