[add comment] [edit] Suggestion about Place NamesWelcome, Tim! I'm Mary, one of the WeRelate administrators. I have a suggestion for formatting place names, such as "Rochester, now Accord, NY" that appear in your Person and Family pages. This place name can be entered or edited as "Accord, Ulster, New York, United States|Rochester (now Accord), Ulster, New York, United States". The page will show the second half, but direct to the first half if someone wants more information about the present-day place and clicks the link. There is some debate about how to best express the name of a place that has changed, but it is probably best to either use the place name as it was at the time the event happened (in this case, Rochester), or to express it along the lines of "Rochester (now Accord)."

Regarding the comments on your user page, I believe the Y in the death field indicates "yes," that the person is deceased, not "young," but that would be best clarified by a post to the Watercooler page. [add comment] [edit] WelcomeWelcome to the WeRelate virtual genealogical community. Here we can learn from each other, work together and find what we need to make our research easier, more rewarding and fun. You can create a free homepage, Surname in place articles and Personal research pages. Surname in place articles are the next generation in message boards: they can be organized and edited. When you create a Surname in Place title on your home page, the link will appear in red. Click on the red link, enter a message and save. (Creating a title for the page is not enough, your cousins can only search for pages with content.)

I'm aware of the issues and problems regarding the Medieval Lands by Charles Cawley, however, these data provides important clues about these ancestors and their descendants, regardless of some errors. These are considered as works in progress, not the finalized versions. Please retain these FMG links as references. Thank you. RSUndehul--RSUndehul 23:34, 14 May 2008 (EDT) Okay, thought you were familiar with the issue with FMG's Medieval Lands by Charles Cawley. It's a long and complicated explanation, which may be founded in the Google medieval genealogy discussion boards. I disagreed with those who think Cawley's MedLands as not credible and scholastic, whereas I considered MedLands to be full of important clues and references that which can be improvised and corrected over the time (as Cawley has demonstrated his willingness to improve his huge project with frequent updates, corrections and additions). As you're going through royal/noble ancestors, please be sure not to omit any FMG link or any other referential link you have come across. Much thanks.--RSUndehul 16:13, 15 May 2008 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Immigrant [12 November 2008]what's the matter with "He is an immigrant"--Jimlatimer 19:43, 11 November 2008 (EST) Nothing, I think the simple statement is just better and more consistent in the main table with a date. It could be included in a larger narrative if there was one. Also it is best applied to the adults who emigrated, not really young children. I can't remember who I took it off, but its nice to see someone's watching. stilltim 19:52, 11 November 2008 (EST) "My name is Tim Westbrook.

Debbie Freeman --DFree 12:21, 1 May 2009 (EDT) [add comment] [edit] Osterhout Genealogy [13 September 2009]I just recently discovered this application, website. I have been tracing a Henry Osterhout b. ~1797 New York, d. 1874 in Canada and had zero success tracing him prior to 1830 in Canada. Researching online, Frederick, son of Gustav, had a son Henry. Would you happen to have any information regarding what may have happened to Henry? Based on a note I received, Frederick, his wife and some children were killed during the French & Indian Wars. Below, is the story, if you never heard of it. Many thanks. HM Osterhout __ Anna Osterhout born 1747, was the daughter of Gustav Osterhaut and Anna Maria Hess. During the French and Indian War, Anna was captured and taken prisoner to Canada along with her brother John. Anna recounts that four sisters and one brother were killed along with her parents, but she mentions another brother Frederick was spared because he had whooping cough and the Indians were afraid of him. After 3 years, Anna returned to live with her grandmother Katherine Hess and was later married to Henry Moyer. Her husband Henry served in the Revolutionary War and this is her testimony to secure a pension due her.
