Typed in Pittsburg Oklahoma Genealogy Society and found lots of new information about the county where my grandparents Thornton once lived. Nothing really excitingly new re: Thorntons except for one name that I've got to research further.<BR/><BR/>2. Typed in Calhoun County Mississippi Genealogy Society where my grandparents Hollingsworth lived. Found some information but nothing new --- but was very pleased to see CCGS getting its act together online.<BR/><BR/>3. Typed in Monroe County Mississippi Genealogy Society where I grew up, where my parents lived and died, and where almost all of my great- grands Hollingsworth, Nix, Weaver, Howell, etc lived and died. What a bummer. Not an online presence to speak off --- it is as if the MCGS doesn't exist --- certainly not online.<BR/><BR/>Anyway a fun egg hunt. But I didn't find the golden egg. Did you?<BR/><BR/>Terry Thornton<BR/>Hill Country of Monroe County Mississippi (blog)Terry Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251750196282728118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-73162483821344817592009-04-12T15:57:00.000-07:002009-04-12T15:57:00.000-07:00Not too many Easter Eggs in Otsego County, New Yor...Not too many Easter Eggs in Otsego County, New York with the surnames Dyer, Fisher or Ackley. I picked a non-New England area for my hunt since N.E. isn't well known for its county resources. We tend to be more town centered. <BR/>I've eliminated a lot of potential sources today. I searched most of the links on the USGenWeb site for the county, such as http://theusgenweb.org/ny/otsego/resources/ocsurgat.htm. There is some possibility that I'll find something in the Dower Books at the Otsego Surrogate Court--they cover the right years.<BR/>I also located great online pathfinders for each NY county on the New York State Historical Association site - library.NYSHA.org-- and the names and addresses for the Town Historians in Otsego County. I also found some Ackleys in the Guardianship records, but I've no idea that they have a connection to my Prudence who married Samuel Dyer about 1805. Eleazer Fisher's daughter Eliza married Samuel and Prudence's son, Darwin Erasmus Dyer 12 June 1826. I'm looking for documentation for all these folks. Hope you all found more eggs with your desired surnames than I did. I did learn about the county resources!!!<BR/>Marnie, who can't remember her Google password.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-71167751090765804932009-04-12T04:54:00.000-07:002009-04-12T04:54:00.000-07:00I am, of course reading, this as usual on Sunday m...I am, of course reading, this as usual on Sunday morning. As it happens I played along last night too, without knowing it. Of course not knowing the rules I searched for Muncie <I>library</I>. They have some documents online and in a divorce proceeding I found the information to punch through a brickwall.<BR/><BR/>Happy Easter!
