Bible Genealogy

Warren W. Wiersbe writing about Bible genealogy in Chapter-By-Chapter Bible Commentary, p. 227 writes.

These names belong to real people who once lived on this earth. Now most of them are forgotten, their names buried in an ancient list. One day "you" will be a name in a record file somewhere. History may forget you, but heaven never will. ...

These names were written on earth because these people were born on earth. ...

These names belonged to what we would call "ordinary people." They were not all great men of faith like Abraham and David, but they all played a part in the working out of God's plan in this world. You may not consider yourself of consequence, but you are; every child of God has a place in God's heart and in His plan. Make yourself available to Him for the task He wants you to do, no matter how humble or unrecognized it may seem to you or to others.

Suter Family

This morning I uploaded a 90-page PDF genealogy about the ancestors of R.A. Suter (female) to the Marshall-Wetzel-WV folder on My Box.

The report includes some information about people in the following families: Suter, Parsons, Yoho, Watson, Wykert, Gorby and Baker.

Access to information in My Box is by invitation.

West, Samuel and Rebecca Henderson

This morning I uploaded a 51-page PDF genealogy about the family of Samuel West and Rebecca Henderson to the Marshall-Wetzel-WV folder on My Box. Samuel and Rebecca were related (cousins) prior to marriage.

The report includes some information about George Lemley and Catharine Yoho as well as about John Otho West and Sarah Lemley.

Some information in this file was shared by Samuel Lee West. I regret that I am no longer in touch with Mr. West.

Access to information in My Box is by invitation.

Okey, Thomas and Elizabeth Stockley

Today I created a 172-page PDF report from one of my RootsMagic files. This report is about the family of Thomas Okey and Elizabeth Stockley. The report includes members of the Henry Yoho and Anne Phillips families. These families have roots in Monroe county, Ohio.

John Henthorn and Frances Low

This morning I created three PDF reports for the family of John Henthorn and Frances Low of Uniontown, Fayette county, Pennsylvania.

These files are now available in My Box on Box.net to those who have been granted access to the OtherHenthorn folder.

Two of the reports are for smaller family groups within the John Henthorn and Frances Low family.

• John Henthorn and Frances Low (379 pages)
• David Jennings II and Mary Henthorn (213 pages)
• James and Mary Quinn (27 pages)

John Henthorn and Frances Low

John Henthorn and Frances Low

Today I finished an edit project on my RootsMagic genealogy file of John Henthorn and Frances Low of Uniontown, Fayette county, Pennsylvania. This file includes 3,801 individuals and 1,468 marriages. Another family prominently featured in this file is the Jennings family.

The edits:

• including the name of each person in the second line of their notes
• adding sort dates, where needed, to insure that death information precedes burial information
• adding nicknames to the Nickname field whenever possible
• adding Copyright and contact information to the note of John Henthorn
  

I'm now able to produce a 446-page report, with an every name index, from this file. RootsMagic outputs reports in the PDF format.

Pike County Illinois Families

Pike County Illinois Families

To get the year 2011 started off on the right foot today I created and uploaded four genealogy reports about Pike County, Illinois families. The reports were created from my RootsMagic genealogy file. The reports are in the PDF format and they reside in My Box on Box.net. Access to the reports is by invitation only.

• Guy Louis Dougherty (11 pages)
• Jacob Joshua Stauffer (76 pages)
• Wells Cooley (176 pages)
• Abraham Henthorn (329 pages)

The reports for the Henthorn and Stauffer families replaced information that was previously shared on Box.Net. There is some duplication between the various reports because the four families are linked by marriage.
