William Roscoe Duncan - 12/25/00 03:30:40 My Email:williamduncan@area-net.com Ancestor: Wyite Roscoe Duncan

Comments: Looking for all my ancestors on my father's side this includes his mother Linda Sue (Duncan) Duncan b. July 20, 1898 d. February 17, 1974. Yes she was a Duncan and married an Duncan also. Both it seems were from Floyd County, Virginia. Their daughter sold off the old home and took the family bible along with all other family info and I have not heard or seen her sence then. Actualy the old home was mine through wills but that made no difference to her.

Cara Rea - 05/15/99 23:35:37 My Email:Rosebud362 Ancestor: George Augustus UPSHAW

Comments: I don't believe we've "met" before, but I would like to talk to you about your Upshaw line. I was playing around doing Internet genealogy searches and came upon your website ... it's really nice. I've been working on Upshaws for a few years now and have always run across the same people, so you can understand how excited I am to "find" you. Did you know there's an Upshaw mail list? I can get you the information if you want it. One of your "cousins" belongs to the list ... David Upshaw ... he's a desce dant of Edwin Upshaw and his second wife, Patsy Harrison. By the way, I'm a descendant of Edwin's oldest son, who was George Augustus Upshaw, not George Washington Upshaw -- they were two different people who were born about the same time, so there's alw ys a lot of confusion about the two. I think George Washington Upshaw, although I don't know his exact line, came from the John Upshaw (Edwin's father)>Forrest>Drury, etc. The folks at the Upshaw mail list are mainly from the Forrest/LeRoy/Drury "Upshaw from Georgia" line and they can tell you more about G.W. Upshaw if you want. But I imagine you're more interested in the Edwin/Patsy line. I look forward to talking to you and I'd be glad to share any information I have with you. Talk to you later.

Comments: i am researching my g-grandfather family, his name is w.t. alley born 1866 to thomas & rebecca williams alley, they had 3 son's , anderson, geroge w. and w.t.. we know that w.t. was raise by a john & frances marion alley crum, we know that w.t. called frances m. crum aunt, and assume that she is the sister of thomas. we think that george alley was named after rebecca williams 1st oldest brother george w. williams. we think that w.t. alley was named after his father william thomas alley. so now we come to the anderson alley ky 1820. we think it is either thomas alley's brother that anderson alley was named for. thomas alley was born abt 1825. another possibility is that anderson alley is the father of the alley family. if you have any information i would appericate it very much we have been looking a very long time and have not been able to find the peice to the puzzel. the family thinks that perhaps thomas and rebecca alley williams met there death in a buggy accident. bessie

"Der Sohn" Brumbach, born Abt. 1495 in Germany; died Aft. 1563 in Near Muesen, Germany. I have a copy of "One Brumbach Family" by Edward Austin Brumbach. He states "The beginning of probably another line of Brumbachs took place in Westphalia, near the town of Muesen, a few miles north of Siegen and about 50 miles east of Cologne." "Stegen and the nearby village of Muesen belonged to the House of Nassau." "The name is of German origin and is found in both German and Swiss records with the "u" and "o" frequently interchanged. "Brum" is apparently a contraction of "Brummen," meaning noisy or roaring, sometimes humming, and "bach," a brook. The name in the first instance described an ancestor by locality, a common old method of designation." The Germanna Record #5 by B. C. Holtzclaw, pp 50-54 records another beginning of the Brumbach name "Der Sohn" (the son?) the original ancestor. This lineage is researched from civil records, also the church records of Muesen and Ferndorf by Emil Flender of Unna, Westphalia and although earlier and much more extensive is supported by Edward A. Brumbach own research. In the 30 years war both the Protestant and Catholic Princes claimed Nassau-Siegen and as a consequence it escaped the ravishment and depopulation of other parts of Germany as each side hoped to gain permanent control and wanted it intact. This information was found on page 4 of Edward A. Brumbach's book, "One Brumbach Family." Edward states that marriage record came from marriage register of the Protestant Church parish of Musen/Muesen in Musen/Muesen, year 1733, page 4, no. 2: Bridegroom: BRUMBACH, JOHANNES, of Musen/Muesen.

Comments: I really enjoyed your site I found tonight. I ment your Mother years ago in Denlow Cemetery on Memorial Day 1994. And she told me you were the one that knew about the family. WoW, was she ever right. My grandfather was Otto Hull son of Newton Hull and 3rd wife Vergennie Coffman Woody. Your grandmother Lulie Woods was Otto's half sister. I have info on these lines if you need it.

Comments: I was just doing some searching on my Ratliffs and came across your website. I was so THRILLED to find Philip Thomas Ratliff. He is my husband's gr-grandfather and I have been searching high and low under Thomas Phillip. This has been one of those "wal s" for quite a while. I just found out a couple of days ago that they were from Virginia. If you would be willing to share, I have quite a bit of descendent info. Also, according to their family bible, which started with them by the way, his wife's name was Cassandra McMullen. I have pictures of Cassandra but, unfortunately, none of Thomas. Would love to hear from you, Linda Ratliff

Comments: The "e" in our name was put there by the army when my father-in-law joined. What is interresting to me is my husband was born in Richlands. His aunt, Darlene Beavers (also of Richlands) is married to David Altizer. We have very little information on th Moats family as my husband's father was killed before he was born and his mother had little contact with his family afterwards. We are wondering if this Carson Moats might be some of his family.

Comments: The FILER family descended from Henry 1819-1889 South Wales, Somerset Glocuestershire England UK. I have a small database of FILER's now and may be able to provide pointers for researchers interested in the name in the UK. Naturally, any and all help with FILER, and references to HENRY FILER (born so he said Blagdon of Frenchay..but we know better don't we!) would be greatfully received.
