  • Alan Martin Long

    Hi Dae!! Thank You for for the Friend-ship. I would think with a name like Dae, that there has to be a wee bit of Welsh in you, would I be correct.
    And the home town in Texas, that has to be a little bit bigger than Dublin, Ireland.
    If I can be of any assistance to you in any way just ask.

    Hi, Dae, Thanks for the friend invitation! I'm actually an American myself, also from Texas (Amarillo), but in 1995 I moved to Brighton here in England. I'm really looking forward to hearing your podcasts (I've just started listening to podcasts on my iPod) and learning more from you!

    Hello Dae and thanks for the invite!

    Curious to know what line of Coles in MA are you related to. Looks like you have an interesting gen background along with some interesting information here on GenWise. Look forward to checking back often to your profile. I just joined GenWise the other day and it's been quite interesting so far. .

    Beware!
    Everybody has received this scam makemoneywith--on GenWise. We don't need this scam. I sent in a complaint by clicking on "report issues" you find at the bottom of the page. There's lots of information on the Internet about this scam. This is just one link:
    http://www.prosperly.com/2009/make-money-posting-links-on-google-is-a-scam/

    We don't need this nonsense on GenWise. Put in a complaint when you get a chance.

  • Sarah Coles

    I love the photo you posed on my page! Cool. I also think these scammers got thrown off GenWise. I sure hope so! Time to get back to genealogy.

  • Dixie Jack Halber

    Hi Dae! Yes we'll be friends. :) I am indeed named Dixie and living in Indiana. While I'm from southern Virginia, I've found more Dixie's here than I've ever known before! And Jack is my maiden name and has given me trouble all my life. I even had a cabdriver refuse to let me in once because he was looking for a man name Jack!

    Halber is indeed Jewish, but I'm not, my husband is. All of the above colluded to fool one of my husband's distant cousins. I'd located him on the Internet, provided him with some information he was missing and asked some questions. He just couldn't wrap his head around the fact that this woman named Dixie in Indiana was claiming to be related! :D

    My McKenzies are from Ardelve, Ross-shire and the croft house that they owned is still thatched and under a preservation order. We think they are likely Gairloch MacKenzies descended from Hector Roy, but all of the male line has died out so we can't do DNA testing. If you have any male MacKenzies, they might want to join the project and test at 37 markers, then we can know if they are descended from Alexander Ionriac, chief in the 1400's.

  • Wilma Van Dee

    What sir names are you researching? My maiden name was Williams - that's as bad as Smith when it comes to genealogy. I am also searching my married name which I've hit a brick wall on also. What names are you researching?

  • Ellen Healy

    Hi, Dae - I have a genealogy club meeting tonight and would love to be in on your chat of Organizing Your Research. Are your chats transcribed- could I please get a copy of tonights (Nov. 9, 2009) chat? Sorry- I usually don't get home until 10:30- hour and a half after you start (here in New Jersey). Thanks. Ellen

    I'm afraid not - unless your Gorton's are from NY. David Gorton (b. 9/7/1940, d. 1/3/2005) married Nada Van Dee (husband's side of the tree). I don't recognize any of the other last names.

    Jayne and Dae,

    I am posting this on both of your walls; I hope it tells the Genealogy Wise world what a great help you both are.

    I was teasing when I complained about buying another book. I told my husband about Producing a Family History, by Patricia Law Harper on Tuesday morning; he promptly ordered it and now I'm the happy owner of a new-to-me guide to improving my skills in Genealogy. I have read "What to Write; When to Write It" almost like reading a novel. But, truly, I'm treating this book more seriously than that. I may just make working copies of ALL the checklists as I apply different chapters to my work.

    Thank both of you again for an interesting presentation which led me to owning a very useful book.

    Sue

    Dae, thanks for being my friend! I had seen you around on here before but just now checked out your profile page. I was so surprised to see that you are the person behind ShoeString Genealogy! A site I have loved since the first time I saw it.

  • Sue McCormick

    Dae, I missed every single posting of your chat "Analyzing Conflicting Evidence;" no matter how much we resent it, the outside world does sometimes conflict with our study/pursuit of Genealogy. But I noticed that ShoeString Genalogy has a discussion about Evidence. Is this mostly the same material?

  • Carolyn Hope McRae

    Thank you Dae Powell; I am new to this and have found a lot of information thanks to the convenience of Goggle. I have been able to go back to the 1700s on one branch of the family and am eager to find new information and knowledge.

  • Roberta Hicks Karsteter"Bobbi"

    I don't know what you are all about, but I hope to learn something new to help me to at least gather a few helpful positive responses in my genealogical research. It is so discouraging to continually get negative responses. JOYCE

    Wow. I see that we have a lot of simular names in our family tree. I am relativly new to this. I still need to go through a lot of hints in my family tree and delet things. I am fairly sure parents, grandparents and such are right, however, I think I picked up a lot of doubles of the kids. I've just figured out the fast way to see them, and delet the extras. I was doing it the really slow way and didn't know it : )

  • Donna Oelkers Gordon

    Thanks for the invitation. I have a lot to learn about genealogy.

  • Terry

    Do you have a relation to the Powell's in my tree? A relative from Texas told me she belived Emilie Augusta Powell was part Cherokee. I belive her father was John Powell, and I found a John Powell that was Chactaw, but his case number showed he was from a different state than the one I have. It is like I told my Aunt, it seems like the equivelent of saying your arn't Mexican unless you were born in Mexico, which is kind of true, and kind of not true. This has really confused me.

    Mar 19, 2010

  • Terry

    My Powell's were in Alabama we have been as far back as 1799. If they had Indian or not I do not in any fact or percentage. : ) I'll check out your site too : ) The person I would like to know about most is David Clark Moren. I want to know the nationality of my dad. My moms lines go to Europe, but my Dad's end here except for one leg on his mother's side goes back to Europe. There is still a whole lot we do not know.

  • Terry

    I think so. My grandpa was born Nov 4 of that election year and my great grandparents voted for him. I have these: 1910 United States Federal Census
    1870 United States Federal Census
    1920 United States Federal Census
    1850 U.S. Federal Census - Slave Schedules
    Arkansas Census, 1819-70
    1840 United States Federal Census
    1830 United States Federal Census
    Arkansas Land Records

    This is kind of wierd, but it was thought that maybe his dad was Ruben Moren, and maybe Ruben's dad was Abner Moren. They had slaves and it shows a part where Ruben Moren had a women and two little kids black 40 women, and two 4 year olds, later it looks like this women was his wife, in a census where they didn't bother to right the race down. This has really been concerning me, and I do not know how to find out. It looks like the kids were James and Joice Moren. I don't know how this could be, and I would like to know if there is another answer and if my ignorance is playing with me.

    Hi Dae,

    Dae Dahling! I was reading your weekly newsletter and as I always do - I click over to visit your website to catch up on news.

     

    I was thrilled when I happened to spy with my little eye my blog badge!  I had no  idea you actually read my blog???  Coming from you sir, this is an honor.  I don't know if you noticed, but I do show up to your chats.  Yes, lurking but still find them full of all kinds of useful information.

     

    I just wanted to say thank you.  I am going to go now.  At the rate my head is inflating it is possible I may not make it thru the doorway!
