Has anyone ran across a Cherie Cherry, mother of Emma (1887-1975), Fred and
Annie. She probably would be from Pennsylvania, possibly an immigrant.
Please contact me if you have any info.

I hope when we have all eaten our Christmas turkey and ham, that we remember Christmases Past and try to imagine some of the Christmas celebrations our ancestors had. In the New Year, hopefully we will learn more about not just the names and dates, but how they lived and how it affects our lives today.
When you are having dinner with your "oldies" this winter see if they can tell you about their winter pasts and maybe you can write down something about you holidays, so your descendants won't have to search as hard as we have to, to learn about how you lived life and celebrated.
Wishing everyone a Joyful and Happy Holiday, a Happy, Safe and Prosperous New Year plus some great 2001 genealogy

I also have a web page with some of the Cherry family on it. You may wish to
take a look. It is at
www.oregontrail.net/~dwmorgan
It is a bit out of date, as I have not updated it in the last year. I have not
had a genealogy program to work with in that time, so have not done any real
work on it recently. If I can get a genealogy program running in Linux I will
be back in business.

I am looking for info on my great grandmother Emma Cherry Jones. She was
born in 1887 and died in April of 1975 in Wilkes Barre, PA. I posted a
messager about her a day or two ago. I have since found out that she had a
brother named Fred Cherry. He served in WWI and fought in France. He
apprentley inhaled mustard gas in France and had breathing problems the rest
of his life. If anyone has info let me know please.

Hi everyone,
I'm a new subscriber researching my mothers surname CHERRY and would like to
hear from anyone who has any information on either of the following:-
1) I'm particularly interested in CHERRY in the country of
Northamptonshire, England,
2) and also CHERRY's who spent some time, say 1840 to 1900, in South
Africa, particularly in and around Cape Town, Port Elizabeth areas, or
anyone who married into the CHERRY family while in South Africa.
Thank you
Paul

Hi David,
I am also researching CHERRY in Kent and therefore have a printout of the
1881 Census Index for CHERRY in Kent. In case you haven't seen this at
your local research centre the index shows:
CHERRY, Thomas, age 66, Ag Lab, born KEN Meopham
was the head of the following household at Southfleet (references - 0870
75 5 1341206)
Name, age, sex, relation to head, marital status, occupation, where born
CHERRY, Sophia, 53,F, Wife, --,KEN Southfleet
CHERRY, Alfred, 23, M, son, U, Ag Lab, KEN, Southfleet
CHERRY, Elvey, 19. M, son, unmarried, Ag Lab, KEN, Southfleet
CHERRY,Albert J., 14, M, son - Southfleet, ag lab,KEN Southfleet
CHERRY, Charles H.C. 6, M, GSon, -, Scholar, KEN, Southfleet
There did seem to be quite a few other CHERRYs in the vicinity who could
prove to be related.
My CHERRY family do not appear to be connected to yours at this point as
they arrived in Kent about 1866 from Bedfordshire.
I hope this is of some help. Good luck with your research.

Hello out there all people of the world.
This is Santa and I just wanted to let you know that Christmas may be a
little late this year.
I had made a list and I was checking it twice and I found some problems
with the results.
The first result showed:
428,534,120 Good
428,523,119 Bad
The second result showed:
428,534,118 Good
428,523,121 Bad
So you see, I can't, with good faith, go out and deliver presents while
knowing I could have made a mistake. Maybe Little Johnny was good for
once, then again, maybe not.
So, I have enlisted the help of all my elves and the Mrs. to help do a
recount. We hope to have this finished up by 5pm on the 24th of
December, but there is a possibility that it might take longer. You see
the tally cards were not quite clear to me, although I made them
my-self, I forgot what they meant.
You know, Good...and Bad??? And the check marks I used were not all the
same, some went left, some right, some were just a mark. Some went
through both boxes, and some didn't even have much of a mark on them. I
leave it up to them to decide what I meant.
So if you wake up on Christmas morning, and there are no presents under
your tree, at least you can tell the kids the story. Thank you for your
patience and understanding in these times,
Santa

I am looking for some Mississippi Cherry relatives of mine. Joshua Cherry m.

Do you have any knowledge of this branch of the Cherry family? Any help

Hi, Nelda!
Oh, Lord, my Mississippi Cherrys are all rolling their graves about this one.
I almost don't want to know as my Rebel blood would coagulate if this were
true.
Gives you something to think about though, doesn't it? Maybe (and I am sure
now :>)) I am not "kin" to those Cherrys after all.
Thanks for your reply!

I can't help you on this but just wanted to make a comment. I have been

This article was of interest to me because of the Cherry mansion and Grant
being there.
Just thought I would let you know.
