Message Board Post:
My Dad served with Edgar Church in the Marine Corps during World War II. Yesterday Dad sent an e-mail which read, in part:
"For some reason ( I do not know why) this memorial day has been one of sadness
for me. Thoughts of some of men (actually just boys) I served with in the Marines
have been in my mind. These guys are buried out yonder in some lonely cemeteries where the soft pacific winds blow over their graves, and likely few , if any, ever
think of them or remember what they paid for the freedom this country enjoys.
Here are the names of a few I remember. We went on liberty together, played pranks
on each other, argued about trivial things, but formed a bond that still endures after
more than 60 years. They paid the ultimate price and they have been in my thoughts today, and I am sad as I remember........."
Edgar Church was one of the boys he remembers. Just wanted to let anyone in his family know he and his sacrifice have not been forgotten.

The John Church who married Abigail Severance in Salisbury, Essex, Ma. 1664 is listed as being received as inhabitant of Dover, New Hampshire by 1665/6.
Who, then, is the John Church who is listed in 1649 was being "received as inhabitant without right of commonage for his cattle" in 1649?
This was on today's Ancestry's newsletter.. made alot of sense and if possible, I'm going to start to do the same.
This sure would have helped me last October when I made a trip to AR.

Ancestry Quick Tip
After the Research Trip
by Yolanda Campbell Lifter
My long-distance research trips are usually seven or more days in length. I arrive home with piles of paper and documents that I have collected along the way as well as all the digital photos I took.
To help make my post-trip recovery easier, I have developed a simple way to help myself. At the end of each day of research, I send myself an e-mail. I write where I was on that particular day and what I did. I
note any libraries, courthouses, or cemeteries I visited. I also mention if I made any new discovery or found something that needs further follow-up. I list the name(s) of anyone I need to send a thank-you note. I report which client(s) I worked for that day and for how long.
I also mention anything that may help me on future trips to the same area such as a landmark for that hard to find cemetery or the name and location of a store I visited.
This method has helped me avoid feeling overwhelmed when I return home, and the task of organizing my new findings seems more manageable
I thought this might be interesting to share!

10 THINGS MY DESCENDANTS WILL HAVE WANTED ME TO KNOW:
10. that future generations would count so heavily on census reporting
to be factual
9. that handwritten diaries handed down to stable generation
descendants are a godsend to historians, even as 'mundane' things as
their daily life activities
8. that when pictures were taken, making sure that they were labeled on
the back more than 'Sue's baby dau"
7. that there was the importance of saving letters that contained info
about the family they received from others.
6. giving family history including those letters and diaries and
pictures to the real caretakers of the family who cared about the
family history and family history preservation.
5. the important of continuing the yearly family reunions, even if a
few attended
4. the godsend of writing down the migrations of the history that I
knew it to be. From where to where, who and why....
3. the importance of writing down copies of the Bible Records notations
and passing it along to many members of the family including connecting
ones in whatever way, in case of fire, flood, or stupid direct
descendants who would pitch the valuable info.
2. the godsend of writing down their own family history and diagrams
the way they knew it to be including who fought in what war, and
whether or not the family was cousins with whatever famous person [and
perhaps how, if they were!]And while we're at it, making the notations
of how the name was spelled.
1. to NEVER NEVER NEVER name a son or dau, the same as in the past if
more than 2 times it already appears in the same generation, found in
the same county, and state.

The Census Taker
It was the first day of census, and all through the land,
The pollster was ready....a black book in hand..
He mounted his horse for a long, dusty ride,
His book and some quills were tucked close by his side,
A long, winding ride down a road barely there,
Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air
The woman was tired, with lines on her face,
She gave him some water as they sat at the table,
and she answered his questions the best she was able.
He asked of her children....Yes, she had quite a few,
The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two,
She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red,
His sister, she whispered, was napping in bed,
She noted each person who lived there with pride,
And she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside,
He noted the sex, the color, the age,
The marks from the quill soon filled up the page,
At the number of children--she nodded her head
and saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead
The places of birth she "never forgot",
Was it Kansas?or Utah? or Oregon....or not?
They came from Scotland, of that she was clear,
but, she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here.
They spoke of employment, of schooling and such,
They could read some, and write some, though really not much,
When the questions were answered his job there was done,
So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun,
WE can almost imagine his voice loud and clear,
"May God bless you all for another ten years",
NOW picture a time warp....its now you and me.
AS we search for the people on our family tree.
We squint at the census and scroll down so slow,
AS we search for that entry from long, long ago.
Could they only imagine on that long-ago day,
That the entries they made would affect us this way?
If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel,
and the searching that makes them so increasingly real?
WE can hear if we listen the words they impart,
Through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart.
Author Unknown......
I received this from another list and thought you might enjoy!

The year 1904
Maybe this will boggle your mind, I know it did mine!
The year is 1904. One hundred and one years ago. What a difference a century makes!
Here are some of the U.S. statistics for 1904:
The average life expectancy in the U.S. was 47 years.
Only 14 percent of the homes in the U.S. had a bathtub.
Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.
A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars.
There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads.
The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.
Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California.
With a mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st most populous state in the Union.
The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower!
The average wage in the U.S. was 22 cents an hour.
The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year.
A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year,
A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year.
A mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year.
More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at home.
Ninety percent of all U.S. physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as "substandard."
Sugar cost four cents a pound.
Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen.
Coffee was fifteen cents a pound.
Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo.
Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason.
The five leading causes of death in the U.S. were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke
The American flag had 45 stars.
Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet.
The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was 30!!!
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and iced tea hadn't been invented.
There was no Mother's Day or Father's Day.
Two of 10 U.S. adults couldn't read or write.
Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated high school.
Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores.
According to one pharmacist, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." (Shocking!)
Eighteen percent of households in the U.S. had at least one full-time servant or domestic.
There were only about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S.
And I forwarded this from someone else without typing it myself, and sent it to you in a matter of seconds! Try to imagine what it may be like in another 100 years .. it staggers the mind
Trying to find any information on Arthur Church & Elizabeth Inman. They
married 1817 in Maury County TN. I would like to find out who their children
were, or anything.
Thanks,

The Silas born 25 June 1793 in Goshen, VT is my gggrandfather. He lived
in Otselic, Madison County, NY at the time of the 1850 census. I do not
have his death date, but he is interred in Treadwell, Delaware County,
NY. He married Betsy West, born 22 Sept. 1797 in Goshen, VT and died 8
August 1876. This couple had thirteen children among them; Silas born
22 Feb. 1830; Samuel born 16 Jan. 1818 and my great grandfather,
Franklyn Lavett b. 17 Jan. 1840. Franklyn had a twin sister, Frances
Jenett. Franklyn d. 26 July 1915 I believe in Sayre, PA. He and his
wife, Lydia Abbott are buried in Lockwood Cemetery, Tioga County, NY.
I don't know whether this fits in the family you are looking for or not,
but I have the Church family back to John at the Church in Great
Parndon, England in about 1335 and died 1396.
There are many Johns, Richards, Calebs, Silases, Isaacs, Joshuas,
etc.and on down to the present. A cousin of mine had Silas and Betsy's
Bible with a great deal of this information in it and some I have
gathered at the FHC as well as family records, county histories, death
certificates, census records, etc. If I can be of more help please feel
free to contact me directly. LOIS HASSOLDT
