Grandfather, William Marion Obst, born 3/1892 in
Newcombe, Campbell Co., TN married approx 1918 (in RI?)to
Rosemary Campbell, born aprox 1898 in Armagh Co., Ireland.
Five children, Rosemary born 1919 in TN or KY, William
born 1920 in TN, Mary Elizabeth born 1923 in KY,
Joseph born 1925 in KY or PA and Theresa born approx
1928 in Phila.<br><br>Rosemary Campbell died about
1929; Wm. put four older children in Catholic orphanage
and baby, Theresa was raised by an Aunt, Mary Fox.
Wm. later married Delia (Bridget) Concannon of
Ireland around 1932 and had 2 add'l children, Dorothy
born 1934 and John born 1944/45, both in Phila.
William died in PA in 1958 & is buried at Veteran's
cemetery in Beverly, NJ<br><br>Believe Wm. may come from
line of Joseph Beard and Hannah Gibson Lay; possibly
through Samuel Crittenden Baird and his son Lewis. Cannot
confirm this data. Believe William had four brothers and
a sister; one brother may have been the president
of a college. Family tale that they were related to
Anne Boleyn (Bowlin, Bolin? may be inter-related with
Bairds in this area). <br><br>Any information would be
appreciated. <br><br>Also researching surnames OBST, SZEWCZAK,
KRULIKOWSKI, SPANE, MC CLOSKEY, MARTINI, LAWRENCE.

Hi there,<br>My grandfathers' name is James A.
Johnson Jr. born around 1895 When I was looking on a
website and found another line with the last name
Johnston. My father told me his father (James Jr.), and
grandfather (James Sr.) were crooks. So James Sr. might have
took the "t" out of Johnston to evade police. I can
give you more information about wifes later if you
like. Thank you for any help you can give me.

One more thing. The full name is James Albert Johnson Jr. Thank you

I have found some very good references to early
relatives on three different websites but I don't know how
to cite these references correctly. For example, one
reference has a title and author, "Descendants of Richard
Arey" compiled by Patti J. Merchant-Minier, but there
is no copyright date or publisher. I suppose I could
give the web address in the citation, but if the
website folds or drops the piece I'm refering to, no one
else can find the original information that I
quote.<br><br>I would like to know how others cite internet
references.

At <<a href=http://www.topozone.com/>
target=new>http://www.topozone.com/></a> there are
exceptionally good color<br>topographical maps of the United
States [Alaska and Puerto Rico <br>are coming soon] at
scales of 1:200000, 1:100000, 1:50000 and <br>1:25000.
These not only show topographical features and towns,
<br>roads, etc., but also the township-range numbers and
section <br>numbers as well as the political township
names. At 1:25000, you<br>can see individual houses, and
finding "the northeast quarter of<br>the southeast
quarter of section 23 of township 40 north, range <br>5
east" becomes trivial. Even the people in "metes and
bounds" <br>states ["Beginning at a white oak . . ."]
should be able to get <br>a pretty good idea of where
their ancestors' land was. . . You <br>want to find the
general area you need at 1:200000, then center<br>it (by
clicking on the map), go to 1:100000 (it will keep the
<br>same center), then do that again at 1:50000 and
1:25000. This <br>is a great resource.

It has been quite a while since I posted this
site. If anyone has interest in it, please browse it. I
am interested in adding information to my site, so
please pass anything you have to offer to me at

library.<br>Please email me at slvrwolf@...<br>with the Full
name or as much as you have and the date of
death.<br>Please email me by Friday evening.<br><br>Keri

Two methods I would use would be;<br> one -
contact the compiler and ask for his/her source of the
information so you can obtain a copy for your records and/or
verify them.<br> two - after you have the information,
try and verify it through another source, such as, if
you now have a dob and location of dob, you can go to
that county and state to try and verify that
info.<br>Roots_finder

I'd also suggest in addition to the "hard facts"
citation is to mention the URL, email address, and persons
name from the site which gave you the lead. That helps
those of us who maintain websites on the subject feel
like our part is recognized.<br><br>Just a
thought...<br><br>-

I'm adopted as well, and it took me a while to
come to this decision... <br><br>I am using my
adopeted parents and their geneology as my own. This helps
with research, and also helps tie the family
together.<br><br>The history of my birth parents is really only
important for medical information.<br><br>Anyone share my

Speaking as an adoptee who has had over twice as many years to think about it as
you have I would say you are exactly right!<br>     But I am still curious.

Hi, I have posted the beginning of my family tree research at:<br><br><a
href=http://www.geocities.com/kmmfamilytree/
target=new>http://www.geocities.com/kmmfamilytree/</a><br><br>Stop by, and see
if there is any link between you and I!<br><br>Thanks!

Not me.<br>I am a reunited Adoptee. I found my
birthmother back in October of 1995. She was really happy
that I found her. We have a great relationship and
talk quiet frequently. I call her on the phone at
least every weekend.<br>So since I found my birthmother
I want to know all about my birthmother's family
roots. I feel that it is important part of my being.
<br>Helps me to feel whole and complete.<br><br>I fully
understand that other adoptee's out there are not interested
in finding thier birthparents except for medical
information. That is their own choice since it is thier
life.<br><br>But IF anyone who wants to search for thier
birthparents I would gladly help guide them in the right
direction.<br><br>I have nothing against my Adoptive parents. I love
them dearly and feel that they ARE my real parents. My
birthmother gave me life but my parents gave me
direction.<br>Not to mention my Adoptive Aunt has already done the
family tree back as far as she could go on my Afather's
side. So there is no sense in me doing it
again.<br><br>If anyone is interested you can view my search and
reunion with my birthmother

<br><br>Have a wonderful evening/day<br><br>Keri L. Sweeney

Thanks for the quick response to my question about citing internet sources.

I would like to know my birth mother and know all
the family info and have a nice relationship with her
but it's just not a BIG priority in my life. I feel
the same way about my adoptive parents as you do and
I did search for a while a few years ago but have
just about given up. If I was closer to your age I
might attack it with more vigor.<br> It's encouraging
for everyone to hear about your happy reunion. Thanks
for sharing with us.<br><br> Bob

Bob,<br>You are welcome!<br>I just don't want
people out there thinking that there are bad reunions or
birthparents out there being not wanted. There are way more
happy reunions then bad ones.<br><br>Good
luck.<br><br>Keri
