What's New.......

Wednesday, November 12, 2003
A new look! Well, I just had to play around till I found a new look and I like it...at least until I get the urge to 'move my web furniture again'. LOL Took a while to update everything but here it is. Hope you like it.

Additions:
Six pages of old photos.
Added 6 unidentified photos.

Other UpDates:
During September we visited Salt Lake City where I spent a week checking records at the Family History Library. In the microfilm archives I found and verified several records as follows:

Enos Lackey - kidney disease

   (Spelling on record 'Sellars')

   (Spelling on record 'Hormel')

Probate records of Will:
George Harlan 1737 - 1821
Henry Hormel 1746/47 - 1834
*See Note

*Note: While reading through the will (a magnifying glass sure would be handy about now) I noticed mention of Nancy Gudgel, Sarah Gudgel and a granddaughter Ellen Gudgel. In my records I had Nancy married to Unknown Cudgel and Sarah married to Unknown Swindler. Evidently Isaac Gudgel, as I recently found, was married to both sisters and I have updated my database to reflect this. A search on the internet turned up Silas Swindler married to Sarah, so added his first name. Will need to research the two sisters further, but it sure is fun when a small tidbit turns up. *big grin*

Many dates and some names have been added or corrected... too many to list here. My thanks go to friends and cousins who sent information and for their help in my research.
