To Huston and Barbara Coram,
I have a book A Rough Road in a Good Land, published in 1971 by the author Lawrence L Stanley. His line goes back to pre-1800 in Mitchell County, NC to our common ancestor Rickles STanley. Lawrence's branch moved to Ga. in the 1800s.
His book lists a William S. STan;ley (son of Rickles S, not the original Rickles) born Aug. 21, 1842, and died April 15, 1924 in Ga. Married ? Bailey, wife died. Married Mary Stevens. Children are Frank, John, Ollie, Louise, Oma, Buna,

Hello all I sent this out before to the lists but thought that perhaps it
would be worth sending again since I have some new lists....
This is a place where you can go and read very old historical documents, you
can spend hours there reading and researching both the time of your research
and your ancestors....
Enjoy, Jeannie <><
Okay Dokey...... I will let this pass, THIS TIME! As I am sure it was
passed accidentally... But, remember, If there is a Phunnie to be passed to
the list I will do the passing...... other-wise it will fast become a joke
list.....
If you want to pass on research tid-bits to the list that is great.....but
no jokes..... thanks
Have a great week...... Jeannie <><

If when you visit these sites and you have just miles of stuff to read to
LOOK for your surname, if you were to hold down the Control key and the f
key at the same time. Then a little box will pop up and you type in your
surname and it will take you straight to it.... and that way you don't have
to read miles of stuff looking for the part that concerns you...

TIP 278 - NATURALIZATION RECORDS.
Naturalization records are among the most valued records for family
historians. In many cases, this is not so much due to the information that
they contain, as for what they represent. Before 1906, there was often very
little data in these records, but these documents remain an important piece
in the story of our ancestors' lives. However, these records can be
difficult to locate and understand. To gain

Merissa MILLIGAN. They moved to Gentry Co. MO around the early 1840's, as
did some other MILLIGAN and BRYSON families from the Cannon/Wilson Co. area.
Thomas's father was apparently b. VA according to census. I have no idea
what his name was, but his mother's name may have been 'Polly'.
Any help with the ancestors and siblings of Thomas STANDLEY would be most
appreciated! I am happy to share what I have of his descendants.

Remember folks, before you put some ones information on the internet or use
some one else's posts that you get permission from that person to do so.....
I am sitting here with a most interesting post, from a gent. but am waiting
for permission from the person he got it from.... It is only good business
and that way we don't have any friction on the lists...

ARREST in DEATH of MISSING MAN
By Wayne Wilson
Bee Staff Writer
Sacramento CA
She was 17 years old and afraid that she might be charged with murder if she
told what she knew about the disappearance of Martin Alan Gentry, according
to court documents released Wednesday.
But that was 1986, and this is 1989, and the 20 year old woman has undergone
a change of lifestyles and a change of heart.
