Hopefully all genealogists have spoken to help save this State Library of Indiana program.
If not we have writing about it on many's teaching blogs and informational blogs since before
RootsTech and FGS.
Go to this site and read what Judy Russell has posted today. It reads much as what I read the other day, they want to fix but it is not fixed yet, nor signed, sealed and delivered.
The Legal Genealogist: Reason for cautious hope
It breaks my heart when I read this in America and then pick up the paper and learn ISIS is destroying books and artifacts of our past in the Mid East.
It matters not the race or religion it is the history and knowledge we are loosing.
Did you read about the Library that this last week dumped hundreds of children's books because they were no longer being read? NO did not donate them to a Children's Hospital or Hospitals or Police Departments or schools put them in the trash. Many the article said were less than 4 years old.
We still read children's books from Dr. Suess, what is wrong with people.?
So if you have written or are thinking of it do it. Stop this nonsense.

Berry, Richard and wife Alice, Yarmouth, Mass
As I am reading my notes and my new found information, I am thinking there is more than I am seeing.
My Reunion file says Richard Berry born 1626, Yarmouth, Mass?
Now if that true who was his parents? I did notice there seemed to be more Berry's in the community than I remember seeing some years ago doing research.
Then with the data I found today it gives a different death date.
I know have sourced two different dates. 7 Sept 1681 or 10 Sept 1676
Because document found today gives death dates and not birth dates I can not determine which may be right yet.
The information did say he married about 1650 to Alice b Barnstable, Mass (Yarmouth). It says she died 1655 Barnstable, Yarmouth, Mass.
It listed:
John b 1652 m Desired * found in Baker Files
Elizabeth m 28 Nov 1677 to Josiah Jones* my line.
Richard?
Samuel m abt 1690 Elizabeth dau of John Bell
Nathaniel d 7 Feb 1694
Joseph d 7 Sept 1681
Alice who married John Baker is she Richard's daughter named for the mother? If so maybe Desired Baker and John are siblings?
Susanna wife of John Berry d 22 May 1747 who was he son of?
Taken from Early Berkshire Deeds

MTDNA pays off, Indian Lineage shows in my Ancestral Tree
Wow, what I would give for my Grandmother's Mtdna (Dad). I am sure many feel that way.
But the Test paid off and the ancestral line carries Indian.
This DNA stuff drives me nuts at times, You too? Right!.
I have female Indian 1620 to 1688 in Mass. But my line comes down the male side so it will not show with me. Now, if I remember right the Indian will show in my nephews and male cousins.
Then later, a Pennsylvania line, says we are of Indian Heritage, also on my Grandmother's side (Dad).
Complete different line and families coming from Southeastern PA area. Somewhere between Bucks Co., Berks Co., Dauphin Co., Perry Co., Cumberland Co., PA.
Recently learning that YORK and ADAMS Counties may play into this scenario. Grandma gave me name of the tribe. I am not having much luck nailing it down except this one is close enough it shows in the Family Finder of my Aunt.
Now what about the male Indian that married the white woman with two children after her husband died and he won her hand by caring for her in a distance for a long time. This was written down by family for three generations and we all have the same story. Luckily I found the tribe and name of the group that was part of this.. Lorriane Rainwater actually wrote a blip on this family. Her story fits our exactly. We just have no idea how or where she got the story. He took his wife's name and they moved away so there would be no trouble from his Father's tribe. He gave up his position in the tribe when he did this. We are from their daughter. Alas my line follows the male.
That is just on Dad's side that I am aware of.
Pocohantus, is a descendant on my Mom's side of the family. Another Indian line comes in many years later actually 1790's. She died about 1845. Recently reviewing my family photos, suddenly I see why the men wore beards and mustaches. Wish I could have helped salvage those damaged documents from
cousin's basement when they flooded, Cedar River Iowa area. He ultimately tossed them from mold and did not realize they could have been saved. He said he saw documents proving lots of what we had surmised, in his Dad's boxes before they were flood damaged.
So another Family Finder test is in order to see what shows up. It will be very minimal due to distance back in the system, but I am told it should show up. I would think five generations back should show easily if 7 generations shows.

John Mattison father of Susan Madison/Mattison?
Woe is me, if one thinks Jones is hard to track try this person's name. John Mattison.
If this is my Susan, which all dates match but off by one year. The same applied to her husband
Noyes JONES he said 1808 and court shows 1809.
So looking at John Mattison I have found: He left Pownal, Bennington, VT for Novia Scotia, for allegiance to the British???
There are records that imply this John Mattison could be Susan's father because there is a child of her age on a census document.
But finding Noyes JONES was in Rensselaer, New York, Jones Hollow, Jones Rd. the distance between where supposedly lived is obvious.
So who is the John Matteson in Hoosick, Rensselaer NY and remember she has a younger brother George b 1822.
George could be in this one. Susan would be married at this point.? Being born 1817/1818.
If so this is 1820 with Susan.

I know that family history says she married Noyes JONES around 1832. I have yet to find a marriage record in MASS, VT or NY. I have been looking for more than 40 years. Rumor said Springfield Mass, No find, Holyoke, no find. Rensselaer Co. NY so far no find. Bennington, VT so far not found.
Found a brother near her and Noyes Jones in the 1870 census in Iowa. George H Madison and wife Hulda and a son.

War and Family, Did it bring family changes?
War and Family, Did it bring family changes?
Of course it did bring changes, have you thought of it as your doing your research?
Are you aware of how much the changes affected the movement of your family?
If your following this FOULK /FOLK posting with MYERS, then you may be aware of some of the turmoil that was presented.
It appears our line from Berks, Dauphin, Cumberland and Perry Co. PA ie Lancaster Co. in some areas early stayed in Perry/Cumberland and Adams Co. While our direct line from Peter Foulk Jr and wife Susannah Showalter Foulk moved west prior to the happenings. I am most intrigued with how the siblings that stayed, survived.
Peter and Susanah Foulk, Folk, Faulk, Foulke started moving by 1846 because William Henry Foulk was born 22 Feb 1846, Somerset Co. PA. At Two Brothers Valley, Somerset, Pa there is a FOULK /FOLK MUSEUM, cousin sent pictures many years ago.
In the cemetery in Perry Co. PA there is a list of family buried there. John Foulk b 1797 stayed in Perry Co. and died there 1867. I do not know if this is John or John D. ?? John D was born a few years later. Suspecting John was of ill health so they named the next child John in case John did not survive considering that was his Grandfathers name.
Peter JR.was born in Cumberland Co. PA, (prior to the Perry Co, split) 1803 and as we know he moved since W. H was born in Somerset Co. and they died in Waterloo, BlackHawk, IA.
Samuel born 1806 from census records and tax records died 1891 in Pennsylvania. aged 85. By 1850 he had moved to Adams Co which was a split from York Co. PA. This put him in the area of major battles that occurred during the War of Rebellion.
Sarah Elizabeth, the wife of our Mystery man JOHN MYERS b 1809 near Harrisburg, Dauphin Co. PA according to Bible records. They moved to ILL by 1850.
(Suspecting those who went west, probably went as a group. Working the logistics now because they had kin in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. )
Joseph FOULK, is in 1880 in Saylorville, Polk, IA with wife Elizabeth and son John C Foulk aged 38.
Ann supposedly married a Groos, research not done yet on her. She was born abt 1805 Perry Co. PA
Did she endure the ravages of the war?
Did those who went west hope they would escape what they felt may be going to coming down the Pike in time?
Susanna work in progress, supposedly mar a Messenger?
Catherine m Ludwig Lewis NOSS we have marriage and born 8 Mar 1801. death is 20 April 1874, Perry Co. PA. She is a widow during this War as Ludwig died 1855. They had 6 known children. One died 1865, a female two we have no data on yet.
Elizabeth, research to be done but Grandma said she was a GAMBER.
Mary, research to be done, her married name was Slepper if Grandmother was correct.?
Henry born 1815 and was 44 in 1860. Duncannon, Rye, Perry Co. PA. He marries Anna Jane ?
last name not found yet. In 1860 they showed Catherine A 18 and Charles L Freeborn 11. Suspect a daughters child, her deceased???. Information in the 1870 and 1880 census. He was a Shoemaker and rather wealthy. In 1880 there is Foulk with them suspect family from sibling.
1870 lists a Sarah with them age 14.
George, surprised he seems to be the oldest for records of the children. 1784-1863. Was his death War related. He lived Saville, Perry Co. PA 1840 census
They had 5 children at this time. 1 male 10 to 14, 1 male 15 to 19, George was between 50 and 59,
2 females 5 to 9, 1 female 10 to 14, 1 free white persons 50 to 59 working in agriculture 3.
Surely these older boys were taken in WAR, did they go, did they survive.?
more research to be coming,
If you are a descendant of any of these people we would love to hear from you.
The spelling varies on each census, just amazing.
Of course it did bring changes, have you thought of it as your doing your research?
Are you aware of how much the changes affected the movement of your family?

In the cemetery in Perry Co. PA there is a list of family buried there. John Foulk b 1797 stayed in Perry Co. and died there 1867. I do not know if this is John or John D. ?? John D was born a few years later. Suspecting John was of ill health so they named the next child John in case John did not survive considering that was his Grandfathers name.
Peter JR.was born in Cumberland Co. PA, (prior to the Perry Co, split) 1803 and as we know he moved since W. H was born in Somerset Co. and they died in Waterloo, BlackHawk, IA.
Samuel born 1806 from census records and tax records died 1891 in Pennsylvania. aged 85. By 1850 he had moved to Adams Co which was a split from York Co. PA. This put him in the area of major battles that occurred during the War of Rebellion.
Sarah Elizabeth, the wife of our Mystery man JOHN MYERS b 1809 near Harrisburg, Dauphin Co. PA according to Bible records. They moved to ILL by 1850.
(Suspecting those who went west, probably went as a group. Working the logistics now because they had kin in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. )
Joseph FOULK, is in 1880 in Saylorville, Polk, IA with wife Elizabeth and son John C Foulk aged 38.
Ann supposedly married a Groos, research not done yet on her. She was born abt 1805 Perry Co. PA
Did she endure the ravages of the war?
Did those who went west hope they would escape what they felt may be going to coming down the Pike in time?
Susanna work in progress, supposedly mar a Messenger?
Catherine m Ludwig Lewis NOSS we have marriage and born 8 Mar 1801. death is 20 April 1874, Perry Co. PA. She is a widow during this War as Ludwig died 1855. They had 6 known children. One died 1865, a female two we have no data on yet.
Elizabeth, research to be done but Grandma said she was a GAMBER.
Mary, research to be done, her married name was Slepper if Grandmother was correct.?
Henry born 1815 and was 44 in 1860. Duncannon, Rye, Perry Co. PA. He marries Anna Jane ?
last name not found yet. In 1860 they showed Catherine A 18 and Charles L Freeborn 11. Suspect a daughters child, her deceased???. Information in the 1870 and 1880 census. He was a Shoemaker and rather wealthy. In 1880 there is Foulk with them suspect family from sibling.
1870 lists a Sarah with them age 14.
George, surprised he seems to be the oldest for records of the children. 1784-1863. Was his death War related. He lived Saville, Perry Co. PA 1840 census
They had 5 children at this time. 1 male 10 to 14, 1 male 15 to 19, George was between 50 and 59,
2 females 5 to 9, 1 female 10 to 14, 1 free white persons 50 to 59 working in agriculture 3.
Surely these older boys were taken in WAR, did they go, did they survive.?
more research to be coming,
If you are a descendant of any of these people we would love to hear from you.
The spelling varies on each census, just amazing.

Now trying to get the system to reshow what it just did. It showed Ray Dee Jones Sr was also related to Kevin Bacon but through his Mom then through Eastman and other lines back to Bacon.
I know longer know how to work Geni.com. So many changes and I was away from the board for almost a year with family matters.
I was interested in Tatum mentioned as middle name but no more reference for why Tatum a middle name.
I am pleased to be related to Kevin Bacon.
Only missed a couple of all his movies over the years.
