Hello...
Thanks so much for sharing your pictures. I
haven't been to Garrett for a couple of years, and have forgotten how
beautiful it is.

I believe that the modern day custom and definition are that a "maid" is
a single woman, in constrast to "matron" who is a married woman. For
example, at a wedding, the bride will be attended by a "maid of honor"
if the person doing the attending is single, but if the person doing the
attending is married, then she is a "matron of honor." My guess is that
your Veanie Michaels was not previously married when she married your
g-grandfather.

I'm on several lists which do ROLL CALL also. It is an excellent process. And
remember, if you don't want to be overwhelmed, just delete the messages you
don't want.
This would be a big benefit to Garrett researchers, I think. I'm glad Pam
suggested it.
Happy New Year to all.

Here's something new - some people will do anything to spoil the fun! This
was posted at the bottom of one of the Roots Web E-mail lists I belong to, I
am sending it around to all the others. Sorry if you have already seen this
- I hope I didn't already send it out this morning:
Virus warnings
RootsWeb's mailing lists are filtered and attachments are not allowed. A

Bonnie,
I believe it just means the message was originally posted to the Garrett Co.
"Message Board" at the RootsWeb.com site:
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.northam.usa.st
ates.maryland.counties.garrett
and then it was forwarded from that site ("gatewayed") onto the Garrett Co.
(MDGARRET-L) mailing list.
Bye for now,
Kathleen

My people weren't very curious! No one went west of the Mississippi until
1962 - and then only to Houston (they did find the Gulf of Mexico)! Hahaha!
Thanks for your help!

Hello Debra:
My main interest is in the Bowsers and Moons in Garrett County,
my paternal lines. Lately though I've become interested in some
of the families their relatives married into, such as the Feiks, Fikes,
Spikers, etc.. When I run across these families while searching census
records I enter the data for them in PAF 5. It's getting a bit out of
hand, though.
Here's what I have for Jacob Spiker-
1860 Federal Census, Maryland, Allegany County, District
2, Selbysport Post Office, page 243 or 600, SK
Next 15 on Pg. B3 (NG means date of marriage not given for the court house records; W-widow or widower)
Britton, William Leslie, 21, Dod. WV, S, 2/27/1899; Ice, Florence, 20, Dod. WV, S.
Broadwater, Benjamin B., 26, Gar. MD, S, NG; Warnick, Melissa, 22, Gar. MD, S.
Broadwater, Benjamin Franklyn, 25, Gar. MD, S, 4/28/1896; Broadwater, Rachel Jane, 17, Gar. MD, S.
Broadwater, Franklin, 22, Gar. MD, S, 9/12/1897; Ross, Lucinda, 18, Gar. MD, S.
Broadwater, George Lewis, 28, Gar. MD, S, 6/9/1897; Warnick, Salli
