Albert Russell Whitney family
I have finished updating Albert's family page that you started. It doesnt appear when you do a search from the main page but does show a link to an article for him. Do I have to create another page for him for it to show up or can it just be copy and pasted? Thanks, Jim

Missing Photos
Tim,
Check out Archive:A Family Sketch. There are several missing images there. I cannot find these files in my computer and backups. Do you have copies?

Carlos Whitney
Thank you for starting a page for Carlos Whitney. I contacted the author who had mentioned him in his book and while he didn't have any new info., he did suggest a couple resources re: Adirondack Guide History. I will certainly add any info. I find to the page.
Thanks again, Sherry.
My William
Dear Tim,
That's him! (Feels silly think of him as 'mine', though I guess he is my 3rd great grandfather!) What we know from history is that the Neil House burnt to the ground in 1860. We find William and his wife & daughters at this time still in Ohio, and William is working as a RR conductor. In 1870 the family lives in Indianapolis, as well as a new addition, little William, age 8 (who was born in Ohio, so we can deduce that the family moved sometime around/after 1862). William (now a 'Sr' of sorts) is employed as a RR Clerk. We know from "Selected Counties of Ohio 1789-1850, Marriages" that William's daughter Harriet married Frank Bird, and I do have a newspaper clipping from March 14, 1900 detailing the marriage of Harriet's daughter Jessie Holiday Bird to Harry William Griffith (son of Elnora Libby & William Chenowith Griffith). My grandmother's notes declare that Harriet passed away 13 July, 1924. Her daughter Jessie would go on to give birth to Richard Gordon Griffith (1902)and Nancy Bird Griffith (1907). Jessie died in 1957 in Battle Creek, MI. Her daughter Nancy, mother of Jane Griffith Peirce Wood, is my grandmother.
I have correspondence from a genealogical hunt that Nancy and a friend of a friend endeavored back in the late seventies, and they where totally stumped as to Harriet's parentage. It feels good to know that I am at least one step closer to solving the mystery! (And to think - they had to do all the research by hand! Oy! Thank Goodness for computers!)
Thanks you so much for your help and your resources!

My Whitney Family
Tim,
Thank you for the welcome, and for looking over what I'd done. I couldn't work out how to link the pages myself, so thank you for doing that. I do have a couple more generations to add on, before we get too close to the present.
I did wonder if mine might connect somehow to the John Whitney of Stoke-Goldington - however, at the moment that almost 300 year gap isn't bridgeable. I have a lot of ideas on how to go further, mostly involving parish registers, but living in outback Australia makes some research quite difficult.
My most recent Whitney ancestor was my great-great-grandmother, Salome, so I don't have any contact with any male Whitney relatives, although there are many in Australia - the family took literally the urge to "go forth and multiply"! There has been a research book published on this Whitney line in Australia - is there somewhere on the site I could add this, as well? I didn't write it, but I do have a copy.
Fascinating site, I'm still finding new things.
Regards, Fiona
Chicheley Records
Yes, they are on my list of things I want to do, but when I say I live in the Australian outback, I mean outback. The nearest FHC is approximately 7 hours drive away from here. I am hoping for a trip to Sydney in the near future, and will see if I can order films in advance then, but I don't get to the city very often.
This is probably one of the worst places in the world to live for a genealogist, much as I love it for everything else!
Fiona
Thank you
Thank you Tim, for the welcome and the edit on my lineage. The information that I had retrieved of my Whitney lineage, I was unassure of it, however it just seem to continue from the family trees I had seen. However I do hope to discover the parenatge of Thomas Whitney from that point. This research group has been a great help.
Blessings and Thank you,
Shannon Stevens

Patrick Whitney
Thank you for the welcome. I was just looking at that Patrick yesterday. I'd like to find more documentation between John and Patrick if I could. It's a place to start anyway. LOL
Hi Tim,
Thank you for making the page for me, I'm lost, I messed it up, but I think I managed to resave it as it was. Not sure what I did wrong.
Anyway you make a comment about my ancestor John H., his mother being Nancy, this is right. Nancy would before/later ( forget the order) marry a man with the last name Sickles. They had a daughter Margaret Sickles who married an Anderson. I don't have my stuff in front of me, and I don't have a credit card to get back on ancestry.com to get this all straightened out again in my mind.
Having said, I feel that John H. Whitney's father was Richard.
If you look here: At the 1850 Izard county Arkansas census (Izard is a neighboring county to Independence), and close to the Missouri line (does anyone know what the real boundries were back then? What info can one trust...)
Anyway Nancy gets from northern Arkansas to southwestern Arkansas over the next ten years.
Just remembered she married the Sickles man first, then (must be) Richard Whitney.
Anyway get back to me if you want, I am exicted about this all again!
My Email is [email protected] should you want to contact me that way.
Help needed in sending you information
Hi Tim,
I'm not good at high tech, Do you have an E-Mail address that I could use to send you
a two page letter about Stephen and Ruth (Boody)Whitney descendants, namely the children of Stephen and their locations. I also am developing a large file on Family Tree Maker of them, and am wondering how to send it to you. Gerald E. (Jerry) Whitney Milford, NEbraska 68405 [email protected]
