Hello everyone! I have seriously been working my butt off all weekend
on the rootsweb homepage. I have spent a total of about 20 hours on Sat.
and Sun working on it and now all day today (not counted in the 20
hours). I was going through the DAR lineage books on the ancestry
homepage (http://www.ancestry.com/ancestry/search.asp) and I got a great
idea for a new addition to the homepage...Military ancestors with the
surnames of my lists (below). Now, i have some info on Rev. war

Per Erin Bradford's request:

45th Infantry, Company A. Hackett, Dwight entered August 26, 1862; mustered

This week's phrase is "uncommon common name" :) What this means is in
your line, if you have found any strange (or not so strange) names the
occur often, post it to the list. I don't necessarily mean names like
"John" or "William" (which is probably the most common male COVENTRY
name), but if there are maybe four out of 7 people in your line named
"Ezekiel" or "Jabez" (which is one in my Kendall line), then post those.
It IS ok if you want to post
Hello list. I have finally updated the census info on my rootsweb
homepage below to include Hackett/Hacket in the 1790 census for every
state. I found Hackett/Hackets in the the 1790 census in 8 states and
to my knowledge I have them all. If I am missing any, just let me know
and i will update it ASAP. Have fun and good luck.

Hello lists. I have seen some of the posts so far on the "uncommon
common" names and I think some people have misunderstood what it is I
was trying to get people to post. I didn't mean for you to post your
most uncommon name, I was trying to get people (which most of you have
basically so far) to post uncommon names that reoccur in your lines.
Like the example I used with Jabez, which is not that common, the line
started out with Jabez, his son was also Jabez(2), and the grandson of
Jabez(2) was a

I hope this brightens everyones day. It sure cracked me up .
These questions are from actual correspondence received by the LDS
Family History Library:
Our 2nd great-grandfather was found dead crossing the plains in the
library.
He was married 3 times in the endowment house and has 21 children.
For running down Wheelers, I will send $3 more.
He and his daughter are listed as not being born.
I would like to find out if I have any living relatives or dead
relatives or ancestors in my family.
Will you

You know Julie, I've been having the exact same problem myself and I'm
not sure what is going on, but I'm pretty sure if you were to unsub
once, you wouldn't get ANY mail. For the time being, i'd suggest to
just stay subbed and trash the 2nd copy and I will do my best to find
out what is going on. I'm pretty sure it's a bug in the rootsweb
system
Hi list. Just wanted to let everyone on these lists now that I have
changed the address that I recieve the list mail to
eabradfo@unity.ncsu.edu from this address. You can still write me here
and you'll probably get a quicker reply, but there is a small limit to
how much space for your email u can have at hotmail and I'm running out
of space quick and these lists are the lists that have the most
activity. Just remember my permanent address is kshai@geocities.com and
you can write there whenever as

It would be extremely coincidental (or ironic) if our two Mary Barrys were the
same but here goes:
I have a Mary Barry in my family tree that was born about 1840 in Ireland. In my
tree she is married to William Henegan. They are my great great grandparents.
She had several children with William, but the last was born in 1874. One of her
daughters was Kate Henegan who married Henry Smithhisler. They in turn had a
daughter Blanche Marie who married my grandfather, Raymond Edward Hackett. It
