Hi:

Sunday Evening - I hope the lists run smoothly (mechanical wise).
Have a wonderful holiday,
Debi
P.S. When I return I want to really get these lists rolling! Lets find our

"Clivden", of course, was the home of his great-grandfather Benjamin Chew.
If I recall correctly, it was from this property that the British army
staved off the advancing Continentals, securing a "draw" in the battle of
Germantown.
I've never been able to discern if this Benjamin was a patriot or a
Loyalist. His daughter Peggy (Margaret) was courted by both sides
(including the notorious Major Andre). The "Patriots" won, though, when she
married John Eager Howard, who went on to be Governor of MD. His son George
also grew up to be the MD Governor.
cheers -- t.
p.s. -- Merry Christmas to all my Chew cousins!!

The following from Brian Leverich (one of the two founders of rootsweb.com)
appeared on the READ-L list. I thought everyone would like to find out what
is happening.
<< My friends -
I generally do not bring you news about RootsWeb, whose servers house
some
4000 mail lists, including this one, because I know you all get the
RootsWeb Review about once a week, which pretty well covers what is going
on within RootsWeb.
However, on one of the lists which we list hosts use to discuss list
problems and other items of mutual interest, a discussion was started by
a
few people concerning the tiny salaries paid to a few people who give
practically all of their time to the RootsWeb Cooperative(they were
complaining - if you can believe it - about them getting paid at all). As
most of you know, RootsWeb was created by, and is "owned" by Dr. Brian
Leverich and his wife Karen Isaacson, both superb computer people and
genealogists. They created RootsWeb and they have funded 90% of it out of
their own pockets since its creation. This means that they have a
houseful
of computer equipment, as well as other equipment in a hub elsewhere,
that
runs all of these lists, as well as web pages and other items for the
USGenWeb - the effort is huge and growing by leaps and bounds. However,
their corporate sponsor, Palladium, has disappeared into a merger with
another company, and that funding has evaporated. It seems unclear
whether
any other corporation will step forward to help underwrite these huge
costs.
In the message which Brian sent to the listowner list, he makes the first
mention of danger to the whole RootsWeb concept. He is rarely
pessimistic,
and if he is concerned, then we all need to be concerned. He finds it
particularly depressing that only a small percentage (2%-6%) are helping
to
support RootsWeb in any way, even though there are literally hundreds of
thousands of people regularly using the mail lists and the other web
pages
and items which RootsWeb hosts. You can see that he has taken out a
$25,000
loan just to try to keep the equipment growing with the needs of
RootsWeb.
The bottom line is that if we, as users of these RootsWeb services,
cannot
help with a few dollars(and it does not have to be much at all, if we all
get involved)in support of this fine group, we are in very real danger of
losing these mail lists and literally hundreds of web pages of
genealogical
material(including the JP Images Page and many, many others)that is today
available. Please give this some thought, and see if you can find a few
dollars that you could donate to RootsWeb to keep this effort alive. I
have
long said that Brian and Karen cannot forever continue to incure
financial
hits in the range of ten of thousands of dollars at a time, and still be
able to keep RootsWeb alive. Take a look at:
www.rootsweb.com
and you can see how to donate if you wish to do so. I urge you to
consider
it. It is a great investment. Brian's message follows. Let's see if we
can
make it a merrier Christmas for Karen and him.
My apologies for the lengthy message, but I think it needed to be said.
-B
============================================================
Karen and I are in the hole on RootsWeb; not only have we not been
paid anything, we've been paying out of our pockets for the
privilege of working here night and day without weekends or holidays.
(Just *today* Karen and I took out a $25,000 loan to cover the fact
that the Palladium sponsorship has apparently died with their
acquisition by TLC, and to pay for the hardware we're going to need
to handle the new users we expect to have after Christmas.)
Just so you fully understand what I've told you above, you should be
aware that in terms of traffic RootsWeb is one of the *top 25* or so
sites on the whole Internet. Folks who can run these sorts of
facilities are absurdly rare (there are a few hundred of them in the
whole world), and senior system administrators at the other "Top 25"
sites generally have salary+benefits+option packages that run in the
$200,000-500,000 per year and up range.
###
Folks should be clear on the concept that the administration staff
at RootsWeb is making a huge contribution to the genealogical
community by essentially donating our time. The fact that each of
us is personally donating services worth tens or even hundreds of
thousands of dollars a year is part of the reason we find it so
depressing that only about 2-6% of our users are choosing to support
RootsWeb at all, and that even among our supporters the average
contribution is only one-third of what "tens of thousands of
genealogists" (the Wall Street Journal) are spending at Ancestry.com.
I don't think RootsWeb is going to fold anytime soon. But I'd be
lying to you if I didn't tell you that the staff is seriously
wondering whether the community values our efforts enough that
continuing on with RootsWeb makes sense.
The admin staff wants to give the genealogical community a great
online genealogical library, but we can't do it if only 2-6% of our
users will voluntarily choose to support us. Without more support,
RootsWeb can't afford to buy the servers and bandwidth and scanners
and such that we need to bring online the whole US Census and the
British Birth/Marriage/Death records and all the other resources
we'd like to make freely available to the entire community.
Maybe Ancestry has it right. Lock up the resources and charge the
users through the nose. Oh well. -B>>

I have started a new forum for those of us who have ancestors in Texas.
Please come and check it out. For those who have received this before I
apologize. This is at the beginning stages so, bear with me while I get this
site up and running at full speed. I hope to have some scheduled chats and
hopefully some guest speakers. I encourage you to visit often. If you have
links or information that may help others, please post those under resources.
Please email me with any questions or comments.
Here's the address WWW.delphi.com/texasgen You should have no trouble
getting in with that address. Delphi will want you to sign up with them
before you can post to the message board. All they require is your name,
email address and then to make up a member name and password.

Hi, I found this on another list.
Eleanor J. Hampton Chew was my father's maternal grandmother. In the 1900
census of Livingston County, Illinois it listed her birthplace as Ohio. In
1856 she married John S.Chew. At the time she was from Henry, Illinois. On
Sept. 3, 1869 she had a daughter Minnie Chew, who was my father's mother.
Minnie was born in Chillicothe, Il. Eleanor died February 9, 1877. Where she
died I have no idea, but, it must have been in the same area of Illinois. I
suspect that Eleanor was the one that had the Native American blood that my
father talked about, which is my reason for obtaining information about her.
For a long tine I assumed it was from the Chew's, but this lineage traces back
to England. All of the information I have came from John Chew's obit. that was
in the Pontiac Sentinel. John died at his home in Esmen Illinois on June 23,
1896.
If anyone has any information about Eleanor or can aim me in the right
direction, I would really appreciate it.

great site anyhow if you haven't been there before. Sorry 'bout that!

Hi Listers:
Seems MSN is having problems with e-mail. I have been unable to receive
mail since yesterday afternoon. Seems I can send it though. So if you have
requested anything from me since then, I apologize and hope to be receiving
my mail soon.
