2. Re: Sirnames [1]
I just found out that what I sent was not a real note from a census taker, but a humor article written by Beverly B. Miller (as Simon B. Rite) for the Western New York Genealogical Society, Inc. JOURNAL for the June 1976 issue. I knew it was too good to be tru. Cynthia Crigler ccrigler@execpc.com

6. (147)Germanna Colonies, History of [1]
The one hundred and forty-seventh note in a series on the Germanna Colonies In note 105, I thought that Conrad Kepler was an unknown. Roberta Isaacs corrects me by saying that Conrad was a Kabler of the Mt. Pony Kablers. Spellings of the name include Kepler, Cobler, Kobler, Cabler besides Kabler. It shows that recognizing a name is not always easy. In Germany, the spelling included Kappler. Conrad, with his brothers Nicholas and Christopher, is mentioned in his father's (Frederick) will. Frederick's land p
7. (138)Germanna Colonies, History of [1]
The one hundred and thirty-eighth note in a series on the Germanna Colonies The last note commented on Hans Jorg Dieter who became George Teter in Orange Co., VA. The changes in spelling are a problem in understanding names. Several rules help us, such as P and B are often interchanged and D and T interchange. But still, finding a name can be difficult, to say the least. Recently, one case in which I have been interested for years has been solved. The will of John Garrett, the will of Michael Myers and

John, I am interested if you have any additional information on the COONES or COONS surnames. I'm looking for the father of Charles COONS, born 1774. I've located Charles in 1800 in KY, but have been told he came from the Culpepper area. Any info you could supply would be appreciated. Thank you, Ken Coones
12. Re: (141)Germanna :*LONG* msg on "OADE" : DELETE if not interested! [1]
Hi Y'all: Well, John sure knows how to get a Botanist to own up to her information: send out the WRONG GENUS! (First name in the scientific name, in this case of a plant). Us botanical types are real sticklers for the correct scientific name! :) Unless the Taxonomic-powers-that-be, (people who assign and often change a name that has been used for years), have changed the scientific name for WOAD since my copy of "Hortus Third" was copywritten in 1976, the correct scientific name for WOAD (Oade

15. Va. Land Records- Indenture of Feoffment [1]
I would appreciate any help on the following questions: What's the difference between an "Indenture of Feoffment" with Livery & Seisen" and an ordinary Indenture? What exactly is the meaning of "Livery & Seisen" ? What did it involve? Why would some transfers of property take place with "Indentures of Feoffment" rather than with ordinary Indentures? Ex.: Culpeper Co. Va. Minute Book 1763-1764 21 July 1763 "An Indenture of Feoffment from George Moyer to John Wayland together with the memorandum of Liver

21. Sending Attachments to the Lists [1]
Guess it's time once again to send a gentle reminder about attachments to your email. As you all should know, if you have read the Welcome Messages that come when you subscribe, attachments are not allowed on the Lists. This rule is necessitated due to the fact that some users's email programs just absolutely freak out from attachments, especially large ones. Besides, it is very rare that all the subscribers to a List need to receive any attachment. They generally benefit only one or a few subscribers.

The one hundred and thirtieth note in a series on the Germanna Colonies In volume 7, the number 1 issue, of "Beyond Germanna", there was an article by Nancy Upshaw entitled "What is Truth?". This had been reprinted with permission from the "Bulletin of the Genealogical Forum of Oregon" with their permission. An edited version is included here. Truth is a matter of perspective. As a scientist, I have been trained to doubt all conclusions. Why? Completeness, lies, mistakes. This means constant digging

The one hundred and forty-sixth note in a series on the Germanna Colonies Recently notes have talked about cultural aspects of the Germanic groups and this note is a little variation on that theme. Tomorrow, I will be at the Hans Herr House in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania where I am a volunteer tour guide. This house was built in 1719 and is the oldest building in Lancaster County. But perhaps it is more important as the oldest Mennonite meeting house in the Americas. Hans Herr was a leader (Bishop, it is
25. (132)Germanna Colonies, History of [1]
The one hundred and thirty-second note in a series on the Germanna Colonies Finding people who should be present in a neighborhood is sometimes a challenge. In recent weeks, several individuals have been mentioned who have only one or two mentions in the records. The case of George Trumbo was mentioned; he appears only in a baptismal record as a parent. But, thanks to a fellow researcher, he was identified. He was not a resident in the area associated with the Germanna people and we will not find many reco
