Dear Owen County List:
I'm working on the children of Stephen and Margaret Barnes. One of their
daughters, Priscilla married Edward Landrum, son of Joseph Landrum. I found
some information on the LDS site. I don't trust this information and I am
hoping there is another Landrum researcher or someone on the list with better
or additional information. Here is what I have so far (which is not too
much). Any additional information would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Wow! What an incredible experience! So incredible that I'd like to
share it with everyone. By this evening I received 51 responses to the
message I sent last night. I will give a brief rundown of the nature of
the responses.
1 person provided me with Jake's e-mail address. I am copying him on
this message and including my and his original messages below so that he
can put the results in perspective.
36 people agreed with me outright. Many thanked me for saying what they
hadn't. 2 of these people asked me about my lineage. I will be
responding to them this weekend.
2 people didn't understand my message.
1 County Coordinator asked for my permission to forward my message to
the County Coordinator's List.
2 County Coordinators said my message would never be read by anyone at
RootsWeb or Ancestry.com.
4 people offered help in getting around the new system.
3 people were offended by my language. For that I apologize. I
certainly could have used a better choice of words and still had the
same impact. I have reworded my original message below to avoid
offending them again.
1 person responded with no message.
2 responses were received with a virus infected attachment. These
appeared to come from the same person. Fortunately, my Norton AntiVirus
issued warnings immediately that the attachments were infected.
Thank you all for the kind words of support. I hope sending my original
message and copying the results to Mr. Gehring will affect changes at
RootsWeb in a positive way. I will also be very happy to provide copies
of these messages to Jake, without the senders' names, of course, unless
I receive permission from those who sent them. At times keeping it
simple can be a very difficult task. I have been programming for users
since 1983 and have always tried to adhere to one very simple credo --
Get the user to his destination in three steps or less. There are times
when it takes some deep thinking but it can usually be done.

Jake,
I don't know if this message has a snowball's chance in in that
proverbial hot place of reaching you but I pray that it does. I
appreciate your comments about the ease of use of the new search
capabilities but there is one thing that has left me dumbfounded the
past several weeks. Why in the world do you want to make it so
difficult for us to get to the point where we can do a search? Whenever
I click on a button at a RootsWeb County site that says Queries, Bios,
Obits, Pensions, Wills, Bible Records or Deeds, I am directed to a
cryptic page that is titled in bold letters "Message Boards" and
provides me with absolutely no information. I can then start an endless
drill down to the other side of the earth or say, "Balderdash!" and go
elsewhere. Do you have anyone on staff that actually does genealogy
research? I think it is time for your whole crew to fall back and
regroup. The status quo is headed straight down the tubes.

MESSAGE FROM THE ROOTSWEB HOME OFFICE
by Jake Gehring, RootsWeb Executive Producer
Our message boards improvements continue this week. My comments regard
the search features in the new system.
Sometimes certain boards and the messages they contain have been moved
since they were initially indexed -- when you search and try to view
posts, you get an error message asking you to check back in a few hours.
In some cases this message lasts a lot longer than expected. We're
changing the error message and working hard to fix the underlying
problem. I'll report the status of this issue next week.
Generally, however, we hope that you are impressed with the new search
features. The new system shows search results ranked by relevance --
meaning that the system will display the best hits first. For example,
messages that contain all of your terms are ranked higher than those
that contain only some. Here are a couple of additional search tips:
Wildcard Searching. The new message boards allow wildcard searching as
long as the user specifies at least the first three characters in the
word (i.e., users can search for "gehr*" to find "gehring, gehrig,
gehrke," etc.).
Search Operators. New functionality allows users to add powerful
operators to their search terms to affect results. These operators, the
plus and minus signs, are placed just before your search terms and
function like popular Internet search engines Yahoo! and AltaVista.
If you put a plus (+) sign in front of any word, that word *must* appear
in a message for it to be a match. If there are terms that you want to
exclude (you don't want to see messages in which these terms appear),
you can place a minus sign (-) in front of them.
For example, a search for "+gehring heinrich -baden" will return only
those hits that contain the word "gehring" but not the word
"baden", and in this group any messages containing "heinrich" will be
displayed before those that don't.
I apologize to everyone for the incomplete message I just sent. Let's
try it again.
Jake,
I don't know if this message has a snowball's chance in hell of reaching
you but I pray that it does. I appreciate your comments about the ease

I am searching for information on my Benjamin Fowler, born Ireland or
England, married Mary Nailor, and had a daughter Rebecca born 1807 in KY.
He may have been in Madison KY from the tax lists there in the early
1800's, along with James and Jeremiah Fowler. All three later show up in
Butler OH, where Rebecca married Henry Carson in 1829. Henry moved to
Preble OH in 1830, and I lose track of Benjamin. He bought land in
Marion IN, Owen IN and Muskingum OH. Henry lived in Marion IN in 1840
census, then moved to Andrew MO.
Henry Carson was son of David Carson and Margaret Ellis, also of Butler
OH and perhaps Hamilton OH, too.
If anyone could help me on these folks, I would really appreciate it.
