GenealogyWise is almost the best thing since sliced bread:) and powdered eggs :( it has allowed the good and bad to shine and I hope it continues with the growth of GENEALOGY for all................
I belong to a number Groups on GenealogyWise greater than 3 and less than 50 at the present and have started 3 of my own:
STAFA: Smith-Taylor and Allied Families Association; This will be my main site with all my data at some point in the future. I have started plugging at it with the first two PDF files my father and my mother, with many more to follow.
PAICH Surname; As I get time, I will tell you all, of my crowning search of how I literaly found my new bride and the family she never knew for the first 60 years of her life. She is 67 and I am 70.
Bracken County, KY: This is the county and state of my birth and like most pre World War Two rural counties of our great country you could not speak ill of any one or you would be speaking ill of kin.

where they were born. If you already know the town, then there are a number of places where you can get help in researching, where you can be in touch with others researching in your areas. do you know your surnames and if they are the correct spellings, many people from other countries have had their names changed over the years by census takers school teachers etc. To begin with you can go here http://gens.labo.net/it/cognomi/ and the little box on the left that says, Cognome, type in your surname, then click on the red arrow, it will show where your name is present today in Italy. you can click where the little dots are and it will tell you the province and maybe the city. I know it is in italian but it is easy to see how it works. This is nice if you are looking for family that still live in italy. (Conome means surname in italian, good to know) some times it can give you an idea where they might be from orriginally.
On this site there is the Italian Group and I believe it is divided up in to regions. A good thing to know is how Italy is divided, it is regions, then the regions are divided in to provinces then the provinces are divided in to comunes (cities) some times the cities are divided in to frazione (kind of like districts) this is good to know when researching, Let me know about where you are in your search and I can give you some pointers on where to go for help. It is hard when I don't know what you already know I don't want to be too basic for you. It is one thing to search all of italy it is quite another to search in your comune and the resources would be different too.
Have you researched your family here, back to when they came here from italy? Oh yes and where are you, I was assumming you are in the US? There are many clues here in the US that may help you to find the comunes where they came from, naturalization papers may tell you the little village they came from , census may tell you the year they came.
There is not a lot on line as far as databases and ancestry types of sites, but there are a lot of people who may be searching in your areas who can give you help and pointers on how to get your information.
If you are just stepping in to research in italy i would suggest you read either the book by Lynn Nelson, "Discovering your Italaian ancestors" or trafford cole's book "Italian Genealogical records" You can likely get either or both at your local library I prefer Lynn's book, but both are helpful in reading documents and helping you to get them. Please post what you know and then Hopefully I can help you to find the sites and resources that will help you.…

t that far.
I am Ysearch FRXP4, a number of members of the project also have Ysearch ID's
Per FTDNA
This group (Farrar DNA project) is anomalous. To date, per the R1a1 project, and similar projects
there are no no other known R1a1a1h* Z94+, z93-, in Western Europe, much less Britain.
Not all in haplogroup R1a1, Lineage 1 are Farrars, there are some Farrows, and Farrow is sometimes
a hypercorrected form of Farrar (but not always). There are also Ross and Davis, but there ancestor was born Farrar and adopted out, a Houston whose ancestor changed his name.
Then there are the three Brits, the rest of us are Americans, and an English, and an Evans (all tested to Z93+).
Hypothesis is that we are descended from a Sarmatian, either an auxillary of the Roman legion stationed at the Roman Castra at Ribchester (only 17 miles from the historic Farrar home in West Riding Yorkshire) or an Alani (Sarmatian Tribe) that was allowed by the Roman Praetor/General to settle in Armorica (Modern Brittany) or even a Sarmatian stationed along the Rhine whose descendant made it into a Danish Viking Band.
At any rate the SNP Z93 is Eurasian and is currently thought to be Scythian/Sarmatian see this graphic here: http://www.familytreedna.com/public/R1a/
I know of one other Z93+ in Britain, surname of Lett but he is also Z94+ whereas none of us are Z94+
Any ideas are appreciated.

a B. wife 28 md1 12 6-5 MO TN MO (she was 28, married once, for 12 years, 6 children, 5 living)
Tracy L. dau 11 s MO AR MO
Clarence E. son 7 s " " "
Charles G. son 5 s " " "
Lola M. dau 2 s " " "
Lee B. son 5/12 s " " "
Using this, I found a listing for the family in Ancestry.com.
Henry was Francis Henry Harrison, b. 1879 Carroll, AR,
m. Lula B. Stewart 1898. Francis Henry Harrison was the son of Joseph Harrison, b. 1847 Carroll, Missouri,
d. 24 Jul 1936 Lebanon, Leclede Co., MO, and Louisa Baker. Joseph Harrison was the son of Benjamin Harrison
born 26 Feb 1812 in Kentucky, d. 8 Jun 1897 in Dutch Mills, Washington Co., Arkansas and Elizabeth Adkins.
He was the son of William Henry Harrison (not the president) b. 1768 VA, d. 1848 Carroll Co., MO, m. Winifred Hancock
I didn't check these out to confirm whether the line is correct, but have no reason to doubt it. I found the marriage record
of Henry and Lula and it did give her last name as Stewart. Since they were under 21, it was signed by L.M. Harrison, his
mother, and L.M. Stewart, her father, so now you also know her father's initials, which will make finding her ancestors
much easier.
There have been a lot of folks who've worked on this family, and I have seen three different sets of parents for this
William Henry Harrison b. 1768 listed over the years. The one person who we have tested in the Harrison DNA Project who is part of this family matches the line of Anthony Harrison of Over, England, that goes back to the 1500s in Cambridgeshire, but is not part of the "presidential Harrison" line. You can check it out in lineage 4 of the Harrison project at
http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/harrison/pats
The "James River Harrisons" are the presidential Harrison line, and they are lineage group 34.
Hope this helps!

we endeavor to record the person’s given name(s), surname, dates of birth and death, and if known, the names of their spouse(s) and parents. In addition, we discovered a way to identify specific or special groups of persons such as veterans and famous persons so that these records can be searched with considerable ease. The Project proudly claims to be the largest database on the internet where the original digital images of gravestones for Arkansas’ veterans have been archived.
A set of standards were established for the notation to be included with veterans’ records so that information related to those who served during certain wars or conflicts can be easily extracted from the database. The notation used for each war or conflict is as follows:
Notation Name of War or Conflict
(Veteran) Veteran (served during peace time; or war/conflict unknown)
(Veteran 2 Wars) Service in 2 wars
(Veteran 3 Wars) Service in 3 wars
(Veteran RW) Revolutionary War
(Veteran 1812) War of 1812
(Veteran IW) Indian Wars (all)
(Veteran CSA) Veteran of the Confederacy (Civil War)
(Veteran Union) Veteran of the Union (Civil War)
(Veteran BBW) Arkansas’ Brooks-Baxter War
(Veteran SAW) Spanish American War
(Veteran MAW) Mexican-American War
(Veteran WWI) World War I
(Veteran WWII) World War II
(Veteran Kor) Korean Conflict
(Veteran Viet) Vietnam War
(Veteran PGW) Persian Gulf War/Operation Desert Storm
(Veteran Iraq) Iraq War
If you are interested in seeing the current list of veterans state-wide, go to the Arkansas Gravestones home page, select “Search Gravestones” from the center column, on the next page leave the “All Arkansas Counties” and “surname” defaults and select “contains” in the third drop-down, insert the word, veteran, in the fourth (blank) search criterion block, and click the submit button. This procedure will generate the list of all veterans’ records archived as of the date of your search. Similar searches can be performed for each county or for each cemetery, and by including the standard abbreviation for a particular war or conflict with the word, veteran, the information can be narrowed to just that particular criterion.
A recent summary of these records may be found at:

to my grandpa Eli. Dorothy was the youngest of 11 children and is left off of most Cripe family trees, because she was born well after them (her closest sibling is 9 years older) and because she was born in North Dakota while all the rest were born in Indiana. Based on my grandfather's marriage to her, this dates the above picture to after 1927, but probably not much later than 1927.
I became fascinated by the interbreeding of the Cripe family which is uttlerly rampant. I'm actually related to Jacob Greib's FATHER thru two different lines (I'm related to Jacob's sister thru the ULRICH side also). Then when I saw Alice Marie Beard's published tree, it became oh so obvious that my cousins did this all the time: first cousins marrying, second cousins marrying, and so on. So I decided to start an all-surname study of the CRIPE family in the USA. I started with the first all-name census of 1850, went backward to 1830, and so far, I've gone up to 1900 census, which I'm working on now. There are a few CRIPES that I can't identify where they fit in, so if you have more information, I surely want to talk to you. Meanwhile I'll continue plugging away at this nice little jigsaw puzzle of a family tree. Eventually, I'll make my results available to the public.…
ou poor, but you get to decorate your floor and walls with really interesting stuff, down side is, anytime I meet anyone over 80 I want to YELL at them "write it down, write it down.." Also when you go to a funeral you should get to the graveyard early, and do a quick search, that's not awful is it??? I am unique in Australia, literally, the only family with this surname. On the other hand I have Smiths and Browns and Reid/Reeds up the whazoo. I have 6000 plus people on my tree because I PRUNED it (yes I cried, but it had to be done). I stopped being a collector - someone who just shoves anyone and everyone on the tree without research, and I went back to my direct line only. Blood relatives or those who married them. Going back a few centuries of course. Now I'm gonig NUTS trying to PROVE they existed. Of course they did, we know they did, but boy it's hard to prove. I collect photo's of headstones, and want more inquests, but I have to travel to get them, that's not a BAD thing is it? To "normal" people it is, they think I'm weird for wanting headstone photos and inquests, but hey, it's still people isn't it. Oh let me off here, I could go on, and on, and on, but I've got family to catch, OK?…
