Because our site is growing so fast as is our database and galleries, w are in need of someone who knows asp, cgi, php and/or javascript to help us use these web tools to more efficiently access them from the web. If you know someone who would offer some volunteer assistance to us we would SO MUCH appreciate the help.

We just finished scanning, transcribing and processing many documents related to the BOUGHNER, CRESS, EWING and GALBRAITH families. Some of these documents were War of 1812 war records, pension records, Newspaper clippings, obituaries, Bible records, etc. We are very excited about the records which were contributed by Dorothy SIDLEY CRESS (Aunt Dot). Aunt Dot has done some amazing and detailed research on these family lines and several more over the years. Her efforts and generosity is greatly appreciated by us and our families.

We will have all these documents and scans uploaded as soon as we decide whether to upload them as albums or as seperate documents accessed through individual links.

"Bravo Zulu" to you Aunt Dot. Thank you and we love you.

All Galleries have been revised in a more attractive format that is also easier to navigate. Also 103 new pictures added to the Levin Gallery. These pictures were contributed by Rev. Edward Levin and Doris Russell Levin.

A new Early U.S. Currency Gallery has been added to display early forms of currency used in the U.S. particularly during colonial times.

"U.S. History Corner" section has been added to the right side of the main pages or Home Page. This section will be updated regularly with new U.S. Historical facts and stories. We encourage anyone who wishes to contribute facts or stories to Submit Here. It is our hope that this site be educational as well as genealogically informative. Watch for updates and additions. Also, have you seen our "Famous Peoples Genealogy Section"? This section contains the genealogies of many famous people (Biblical figures, Presidents, Generals, Writers, Musicians, etc.) and many contain biographies of the individuals.

SITE NEWS - Our site has been active for 20 months on our current web host. During this time, we have received an impressive hit count of nearly 4 million and average 2500-3200 hits per day. We are grateful for all those who have visited our site and hope this success continues. We will be looking for sponsors for the site to help offset the cost to maintain the site and continue the research that goes in to it. At this time, we will NOT allow pop-ups or on the site as we do not believe in "Forcing" anyone to look at anything they didn't navigate to themselves. However, we may place small ads in various places around the site. These ads will in no way block, pop-up, pop-under or interfere with the intended content of the pages. We will stick to these rules of our own as long as we can to keep this site up, running, updated and FREE to the public, but we do need to find a way to offset the cost involved.

NEWS

The mystery of Callie Capes Broaddrick has finally been solved. Callie's full birth name was Nancy Sylvania Lucinda Carolyn Baty (Callie short for Carolyn). Callie was born in 1873 in Calhoun County Alabama. Her parents were David Alexander (Alex/Elec) Baty and Amanda Lawrence. In September of 1888, Callie married Stephen Capes in Blount County Alabama, this marriage produced 1 child (Jossie Capes). It has been told by one of Callie's sons (George Broaddrick) that Callie's brother killed her first husband (Stephen Capes) for beating Callie and their daughter Jossie. The Blount County AL records do state that Stephen Capes has been found beaten to death but does not give the date nor if the person responsible had been caught. The lineage of Callie's mother (which goes back a few hundred years and is well documented as it was extensively researched) will be uploaded as soon as I finish inputting the date into the database. Callie's father's lineage still hasn't been found yet. Census records have him being born in South Carolina.

UPDATES

2 pages of NEW pictures added to the Broaddrick/Oliver Gallery

Callie Capes (aka Callie Baty / Nancy S. Baty / Callie Baty Broaddrick documents and ancestry information added to their Gallery Page

Amanda LAWRENCE (Callie's mother) descendants has been added to the Gallery as well. CLICK HERE to view this document which contains lots of information on Callie's siblings and their children, etc.

I hope everyone likes the new look of the Family Tree pages. Also the addition of genealogy of "Famous People" which include Presidents, Authors, Actors, Historical figures and Biblical figures. I didn't research these lineages, so I cannot state how accurate they are or aren't. Interesting reading anyway as most of them do have a Biography on the individual with references to the sources. CLICK HERE to see the list of these "Famous People" and their lineages.

I am currently working on getting more pictures uploaded to the site. Particularly of the Broaddrick/Oliver branches. Watch for these pictures to be added to the Broaddrick/Oliver photo gallery.

On a recent trip to North Carolina, Deborah received a lot of information on her BOUGHNER ancestors from her Aunt Dorothy SIDLEY CRESS. Including newspaper clippings, Civil war records, births, marriages and deaths. Photo's of this branch of Deborah's line will be coming soon as well, hopefully.

Please be patient with some of these updates as I have over 300 documents and over 100 photo's to add to the galleries. Not to mention several hundred more ancestors and family members.
