THE PHOTOGRAPH
by Sharon Leah Coble Thorne dons...@jps.net
Shortly before my mother died I asked, "Don't you have any
photographs of your family when you were young?" She responded,
"only one and my sister tore it up because she didn't want
anyone to know how poor her Italian family was." She described
the photo to me this way. "I [Jennie GRIVET] was holding a paint
can full of corn and I threw it out to gather the chickens in
front of the photo. Mom and dad were wearing the same clothes as
in the photo you are looking at, so the two photos were taken on
the same day by a traveling photographer. Pete and Mike [her
brothers] have their dog beside them. And our pump where we drew
water was in the photo." Mother died a few days later and her
description of the photo replayed in my memory for a long time --
I even dreamed about it.
I took an Italian language class and the professor helped me to
write a letter to Toreno. I asked to have it published in the LA
STAMPA newspaper. Not knowing if they would, I just sat back and
waited and waited. I never heard whether they published the
letter. Several weeks later I got a letter from my mother's
father's sister. She was 86.
I immediately planned a trip to Italy. The day I was to leave I
received a letter from my mother's first cousin, who lived in
Sapri, Italy. In that four-page letter was a photocopy of the
photograph. I sat on the step while reading his letter
explaining how he was related and the tears flowed for a long
time. It turned out that this cousin was my age. His father had
had him late in life by his second wife. When the war broke out
and the Germans came in they destroyed all the correspondence
between my grandfather, who had immigrated to the United States,
and his relatives, who live in Italy. But my grandfather's
brother had saved the photographs. He also had the one photo of
my grandparents that mother had.
It was a thrilling trip to Italy where I met all my new-found
relatives and was treated like a queen.

DOWSING IN SCOTLAND
by Joe Armstrong JoeArm...@gateshead8.demon.co.uk
Some 18-20 years ago Arthur Elliot was a well-known dowser who
lived in Weardale, County Durham. His specialty was dowsing for
the outlines of long-gone castles, towers, and fortified farms
(Bastles) in the Borders region (Anglo-Scots) and we of the Clan
Armstrong Trust had the benefit of his skills on many occasions.
To the best of my knowledge he has never been proven wrong. It
seems that digging in the ground always leaves a trace which is
detected by this method, some say by using the magnetic field
of the human body.
Tried it once myself in a long abandoned graveyard in Scotland.
To my (skeptical) surprise, the rods lashed back and forth and
hit my upper arms so strongly that it caused pain. I think that
may have been a family vault. One of our party on that graveyard
survey registered nothing; we joked that he was dead. He's not,
he still enjoys good health, a typically robust Armstrong.
Elliot's method was to have an assistant who placed wooden
pegs at each place where he obtained a "reading" and the end
result was determined by joining the pegs by ribbons. This helps
to visualize the former structure's outline. He also gained some
skills by interpreting his findings according to previous
experience. A combination of Elliot's skill and our research
located a mass grave of some three to four dozen Armstrongs
murdered by King James V of Scotland in 1530. For more

DOWSING IN COLORADO
by Robert Thrift thr...@verinet.com
Last week I stopped at a farm northeast of Johnstown, Colorado
seeking access to an unnamed rural cemetery that I had found on
a U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) map. I was searching for the
grave of David SHAY, a brother of my great-grandmother, armed
only with the knowledge that he had died in or near Johnstown in
1906. The Johnstown cemetery had already been searched without
success. The old gentleman I met at the farmhouse not only was
familiar with the rural cemetery, but also he knew the names on
the graves by heart. He was able to confirm that my great-
granduncle was not in it. He mentioned that two of the graves
held brothers who had been the last ones in that county to have
been killed by Indians. (They had cheated the Indians on a horse
trading deal. The Indians later caught them alone in the
countryside and exacted revenge.)
He told me that the cemetery had been visited a few years before
by a woman whose specialty was dowsing for graves, old
foundations, and other items of historical interest. She had
walked the area and put in a stake at each point where her wires
crossed. When she was done, 32 graves had been marked, all lying
in nice neat rows. My informant already knew that most of the
graves had been moved long ago to the new Johnstown cemetery
when it was created, leaving only seven at the site; so he
commented that he didn't think anyone was buried at most of
those places. She replied matter-of-factly that she didn't know
whether anyone was buried there or not, only that someone had
been buried there at one time. She then invited him to try the
rods, and showed him what to do. To his astonishment, they
worked for him also, and indicated the same spots that she had
already found.
We don't actually know how dowsing works, although there are
many theories about it. Dowsers who are able to locate
underground water supplies and mineral deposits are fairly
common. Many utility workers use the technique as an everyday
practice, to find underwater pipes and sewers. It has been
estimated that about one out of 10 people is able to dowse to
some extent, although most haven't tried it and are not aware
of the ability. Less commonly known is the fact that some
dowsers are able to locate lost items, missing persons, graves
and items of archeological interest.

DOWSING: IN SUPPORT OF SKEPTICISM
by Justin M. Sanders
jsan...@jaguar1.usouthal.edu
Department of Physics
University of South Alabama
The use of dowsing by genealogists to identify unmarked
graves is an unfortunate development. In genealogy, we strive
to have high standards of proof. It is not enough that grandma
says her grandpa was at Gettysburg. Instead we seek out stronger
proof in the form of contemporaneous, primary documents where
possible. If those same high standards are applied to dowsing,
it will be found to be as unreliable.
The usual form of dowsing for graves takes the form described
in last week's MISSING LINKS. Two wires, often coat hangers, are
bent into "L" shaped rods. The short ends of the "L's" are held
loosely in the hands with the long sides parallel to the ground
and pointing forward. As the dowser walks along, the wires will
cross and this is claimed to indicate the presence at that point
of a grave. Not only graves, but also water, mineral deposits,
or, as in last week's MISSING LINKS, wagon tracks or
other archaeological artifacts are claimed to be indicated by
the crossing of the rods.
I will give a just a couple of reasons to be skeptical of
dowsing. First, there is the objection based on the
indefiniteness of the technique. The purported response of the
rods to a buried body (crossing) is exactly the same as the
purported response to underground water (crossing). Suppose for
a moment that dowsing really worked as described. The user
looking for graves may see the rods cross, but the user will
not be able to say whether he's found a grave or water, because
both give the same response.
A second reason to be skeptical of dowsing is that there is no
basis for it in the known, well-established, and well-tested
laws of physics. In order for the buried body (or water, mineral
deposit, or wagon track) to cause the dowsing rods to move, it
must exert a force on the rods at a distance of a few feet. Only
two forces are known which act at such distances: the
gravitational force and the electromagnetic force. Since the
density of human bodies is not greatly different from the
density of soil, a body will not be able to exert a
sufficiently large gravitational force to move the rods.
Similarly, since dead bodies are not electrically charged nor
magnetically polarized, they cannot exert electromagnetic forces
on the rods. In order for dowsing to work as described, there
would have to be a new force which acts at large distances and
is quite strong. It is highly unlikely that such a force would
have escaped the notice of generations of physicists. For these
and other reasons, it is best to take a skeptical view of
dowsing.
The two objections raised above are not proof of the
impossibility of dowsing. They are simply good reasons why
one should be extremely doubtful of it. Proof of dowsing's
effectiveness (if any) must come from careful tests. Are there
really bodies down there? If we excavate, do we in fact find
graves? Those are the kinds of tests that must be made before
we can say that dowsing has been shown to be effective in
finding graves. Performing such tests may be inconvenient, but
until such careful controlled tests are made dowsing cannot be
seen to be any more effective that educated guessing.

SAILING THE ANGLO SEA
by Allen D. McCrady alle...@aol.com
My grandmother, Elizabeth Young Fauset McCrady left an account
of her family's journey to America. She wrote:
"I was born in Appleby, Westmoreland County, which is in the
north of England. In 1863, when I was seven years old, my family
decided to come to America. In Liverpool one Sunday afternoon,
father and I went down to the docks to look over two ships. One
ship, the ANGLO SEA, was a sailing vessel. The other, the ANGLO
SAXON, was a steamer. Both were bound for America [Quebec. ADM]
The fact that the fare on the ANGLO SEA was much cheaper induced
my father to buy tickets on the sailing vessel.
"We were five weeks and two days crossing the Atlantic. Several
incidents occurred on board ship that I will never forget. I
have a vivid impression of a funeral aboard ship. It was indeed
the most sorrowful event of our trip. Among the passengers there
was an old couple, on their way to Detroit where their son
resided. Shortly after we left England she fell ill and died
when we were in mid-ocean.
"On a beautiful bright day we were becalmed. A very large ship
came within hailing distance. Its captain sent word that he
wanted to have two of his passengers board our ship. The ships
came together and to our amazement we learned the other ship was
the ANGLO SAXON. A boat was lowered and the two passengers came
on deck. The couple had been secretly married in Liverpool. Her
family was titled, and her parents objected strenuously. They
had changed ships so their trail would be lost. On our ship they
occupied the cabin of the old lady who had died. I remember this
event so well that their name, PETURIEL, is still fresh in my
memory.
"When we finally reached Newfoundland, we received terrible news.
The ship that had passed us and left two passengers, the ANGLO
SAXON, had been lost with no survivors."
So wrote my grandmother. Twenty-five years later, my father
checked with an insurance company that specialized in marine
risks. They replied that they had a newspaper account in their
files which stated that in April of 1863 the ANGLO SAXON ran
aground off Cape Race with the loss of 208 out of 445 souls.
>From a researcher's point of view, the story illustrates a
number of points. First, grandmothers aren't necessarily exactly
right in all respects. Second, it would be best to check the
passenger lists on both ends of the voyage. This would give
births and deaths during the voyage. Third, did grandma have too
much faith in conversations with strangers? What made her think
that the "PETURIELs" would give their right names or the names
that they would use in the New World either to the ship's
officers or the immigration officials? I do wish to bring this
account of the voyage to the attention of the "PETURIELs'"
descendants.

My cousin has a very well preserved Bible that was presented to
Rachael PAYNE by St John's Girls' School 4 January 1861. On the
cover are the words: "Edward MARTIN's Gift AD 1645 Parishes of
St. Olaves and St. John, Southwark, 1859." I believe this school
was in London but I have not been able to find any details about
it. My cousin doesn't know how the Bible came into her family's
possession, but it could have come through her father, Henry
Thomas BOWSHER, born 1887, married Nora LIGHTFOOT, born 1886 in
London.

What a very moving story Robert McCleve told about finding his
ancestor's grave, and so many more pioneer graves as well. How
sad for these people to die when they'd managed to get so close.
I also had family following the wagon trail to Salt Lake City,
with my Bennett ancestors going on to follow a flawed map into
Death Valley in 1849. My Welsh Davies family came upriver and
cross-country that same year, and a widowed 3great-grandmother
with children in tow did so in 1852 in company with her sister
and brother and their families. I've seen the ruts of the wagon
wheels in Wyoming, and have been to the camp in Death Valley
where the Bennetts waited for rescue. What almost eerie
experiences those were. I could feel the presence of all the
people who had passed along that valley by the Platte River. I,
too, didn't really believe in dowsing, but for some people it
obviously works. Thanks to Robert for sharing this with us.
Margaret Stapleton gram...@aol.com
I read with great interest the article written by Robert A.
McCleve, Sr., about dowsing for graves. I, too, dowse for grave
sites and recently "found" 12 graves where only three were
thought to be. This site was the interment of one notorious "Kid
Wade," a horse thief who practiced his "craft" in this area of
northern Nebraska during the time of Doc Middleton. Many are
skeptical until you give them a front-row experience.
