Roy,
Read your story about your ancestor who, according to family stories, was a
drummer in a regiment at the Battle of Waterloo with great interest. I,
too, have a similar story in my family about my great grandfather. He was
supposed to have been a drummer in Napoleon's army. As they were retreating
through Vilna, Poland, he went "over the hill". He was suposedly taken in
by monks in a monestary and taught the occupation of forestry. His name was
TABER, which does not fit in Russia/Poland. As I und

Perhaps you could give me some idea of what direction to take in finding out
more about this situation:
My husband's uncle was in the U.S. Army (I have their records) after the
Spanish-American War, was in the Philippines, married a Filipino lady, had
several children. In March 1920 he emigrated to British Cochin, Madras,
South India, working for the Tata Oil Co.. In May 1921 he married Bertha
Pitter, a British subject, in British Cochin; I realize that being labeled

Bill,
I am replying to all, to express my thoughts. This is a busy time of year
for most of us, I am sure. People doing fall chores, going on fall
vacations, etc., etc. This may be part of the problem??
As you well know, I don't contribute that much to the list. I guess it is
too easy to just sit back and read what the others submit. My mailing lists
consists of a lot of surname lists.
So - I guess we members need to think about just what we do want. Do we
want this list to continue? Then it is up
Thank- you to all that gave us there prayers, so far all is well
and I know it is because of all these great extra prayers.
The power of pray is very great
Thanks again

In January of 1692, the daughter and niece of Reverend Samuel Parris of
Salem Village became ill. When they failed to improve, the village doctor,
William Griggs, diagnosed bewitchment and put into motion a "witch hysteria"
that would ultimately result in the death by hanging of nineteen men and
women. In addition one man was pressed (crushed) to death for refusing
trial; seventeen others died in prison, and the lives of many were
irrevocably changed.
Many factors lead to the witch hysteria of Salem. There
I, too, have been only a "lurker" for a long time now, as a full-time job with rigid weekday hours has kept me from much of the research I was enjoying doing. However, what I greatly miss from this list is the "good stories" (I even have a folder with many of them that I have kept) and the personal caring that used to the posted to this list. I realize that this is a genealogy list, but I miss the sense of family that used to be so pervasive here.

Barb, Rootsweb requires subscriber status in order to post to a list.
Maybe the robot got you but you will have to resub and repost your

COULD I, as a newcomer to the list but a very longtime genealogist, make a
suggestion as to what is wrong here? Of course, some of you may think there
isn't anything wrong (!) and perhaps I am not putting this too well, but in
view of Dr Bill's worries about the lack of traffic and exhortations to us
for more postings I feel there must be.
I am on about eight lists altogether - admittedly all UK-based, except this
one - and on all of those there is a huge amount of traffic, with lively

I dont know when you joined the list Roy, but have enjoyed your postings
and this last tale is fascinating! Do keep us posted on your witch hunt. It
is a shocker to find one related to infamous people on your family lines,
and when they show up as direct ancestors we have to learn to accept the
fact that every family has them, even if they arent talking about it. A
couple of years ago, I found that one of my direct ancestors could very
well be the first woman hanged at the Plymouth colony, Alice Bishop. (Up

OK, Dr. Bill -
Please tell everyone that I do NOT rig the mailing list to do
that!!! The taglines are purely random and rotate all throughout the
day. I can't believe that one popped up on the message I just sent. Makes
me look so full of myself, when I'm actually just full of chocolate.
Thank you for the kind words,

I HAVE consulted one of the definitive books of surnames - A Dictionary of
English Surnames by P H Reaney & R M Wilson - and it does not suggest a
Scottish origin for the name CRIBBS (the title of the book is a bit
misleading, BTW, it should be "British Surnames"). Here is what it
