family tree research in west virginia?
Question:
I am looking for anyone that is doing family research on Backus, Foster, Keith, Neal, Williams families in Nicholas, Fayette or possibly Clay county in WV.
Answer:
I second the US Gen Web suggestion and add this:
http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_select.aspx
and
http:/ /genforum.genealogy.com/wv/counties.html
but caution you to read a dozen posts, and
http://www.tedpack.org/goodpost.html
before you post your own. Pay particular attention to the posts that got results.
People ding me constantly for suggesting this isn't a "real" genealogy board, but - GenForum has a category for genealogy in each county in WV - and for every other state. So does Ancestry. YA has one big category which covers all counties, all surnames, and "What would be a good display name?"
Check out the mailing lists, too:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/
There are lists for each of your surnames and counties. Read a dozen or so messages in the archives before you sign up.
Best of luck!

DiLorenzo and His Critics on the Lincoln Myth
By James Ostrowski
April 2003
http://www.mises.org/etexts/ostrowski.asp
Answer:
It is interesting that when presidents get into trouble they often quote Lincoln?! I have even read and heard how George Walker Bush is now being compared to Lincoln. The comparison between Lincoln's constitutional violations versus Bush's PATRIOT ACT is indeed disconcerting. Violating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights by both these presidents can only be measured by the outside influences of the international bankers and the multinational corporations. In defense of Lincoln, it was he that opposed the Reconstruction policies by the radical Republicans of the north. Bush on the other hand has sold the American people lock stock and barrel to the globalists; the very same international financiers and multinational corporations that confronted Lincoln. We know what happened to Lincoln. What will become of Bush?
I appreciated your list of points concerning Lincoln's presidency. If you could, please list under added details the sources in which you derived your information. Thank you.

how can i find an obituary for egbert woods death 1997?
Question:
born april 13 1907 died february 22 1997 in mount vernon ohio. he was born in west virginia probably nicholas, or clay counties. this is a grandfather i never met.
Answer:
You would have to go to the library in the town that he died and look up that date on the microfiche of the newspaper. It would list all the details nd relatives. Otherwise you would have to ask a family member who knew of it. You could write to the town hall for his death certificate, call them first to see what they charge for that service. It's usually about 5.00.

I don't understand why is Obama not on the list, all these people took a stand since day one! WHY can't I find his name, I am so disappointed!
Dave, these people on THAT day took a position, anyone can say anything to the contrary now, like take the popular position, but is that the SAME as voting THAT DAY with the info you have? Maybe that Dennis K. should be the nominee he is on the list! FROM DAY ONE!
He is trying to have his cake and eat it too, he did not campaign for a seat in the US Senate until 2 years after the war began, at that point anyone knew it was not a good war!
no where am I a Hillary supporter, she is better than Obama but neither will beat McCain!
Answer:
No he's not on there he's a shyster double-talking lawyer, inexperienced candidate, and vicious manipulator, who should prove himself in the Senate, not use his deep pockets to smear Hillary 24/7 and undermine a Democrat win!
Great Question and Documentation ;-)

articles of Confederation.

Constitution, and it went into effect.

1849-Henry Clay introduced a series of resolutions on January 29, 1850 in
attempt to seek a compromise and avent a crisis between North and South.
Primary Documents in American History
1850- The Compromise of 1850. Five laws passed in September of 1850 that dealt
with the issue of slavery.
January 29, 1850- Senator Henry Clay introduced a series of resolutions

South.
Slave trade, territory, and The American Dutch
1850-The fugitive act was ammended and the slave trade in Washington D.C.,
was abolished.
The national territory stretched over forest, plain, and mountain.
The American Dutch grew more than eighty percent of the world's
cotton.
The Bleeding Kansas
1854-The bleeding Kansas started and was a turbulent time in the Kansas
territory. Rival territory governments,electron fraud, and squabbles
over land claims all contributed to the violence of this era.
Kansas-Nebraska Act
1854-The Missouri compromise was repealed by the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
Misssouri compromise was declared unconstitutional by the Sumpreme
Court in the Dred Scott decision, which ruled that congress did not
have the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories.
Douglas's plan, in the form of the Kansas-Nebraska Act passed
congress to be signed by President Franklin Pierce.
May 30th, the Kansas-Nebraska bill passes and violence occured in
Kansas between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers, a prelude before

in IIlinois.
Lincoln opposed Stephen A. Douglas for election to the U.S. Senate
from IIlinois.
Brown's Plan
Brown was ready to launch his war and had everybody and everything to
proceed. But instead went into hiding because he was asked to postpone
because one of his followers had threatened to reveal the plan. Although
the threat never went through.
1859- In August Brown met with Frederick Douglas, and Brown told him of
his intentions of seizing the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry rather
than staging guerilla warfare from the mountains.

1861- Last year of turbulent time in Kansas territory.
Political groups occupied Kansas, proslaves, free staters, and aboli-
tionists rivarly stopped and Kansas enterd the Union as a free state.
The Emancipation Proclamation
1863- In January the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by Abraham
Lincoln. It declared that all persons that are held as slaves in any
state shall be in rebellion against the U.S. and then set forever free.
It did not end slavery but changed the basis of the Civil War.
The North fought and created a new Union without slavery instead
of waging a war to put together the Old Union as it was before.
Answer:
You might start in the middle with the fight between pro and anti slavery people and then flashback to the declaration and constitutional times to explain the deficiences in those earlier documents or in people's interpretations of same that led to the fight. Use simple expressive language. Don't stretch for words. You don't have to be chronological with this, in fact that might be too boring. Flashbacks work well to keep the reader interested. You've already got the hard part done, the
chronology. Now have fun in your mind hooking everything together in a creative way. You'll do it.
Hey Leland, that's pretty good.

Answer:
Could you please put this in homework help, because that is what you're asking for here.
And, btw, what grade are you in? This is like elementary school American history. Question 30, for example: only one of those people is black. If you don't know which one, that is very sad.
