I will look for old news stories
Me
stories or obituaries on people for purposes of genealogy.
Reply here with the person's name and State they lived in (the exact town or
city, or what city they were near that published a newspaper covering the
person's town would be even better) and the month and year they may have had
an obit or some story in a newspaper.
Less common names are better. John Smith is going to be too hard to locate.
But Johannes Smitherwood would be easier ;)
If I find a story, I will post it online and post the link here. It is time
for us genealogists to help each other a little more.

news:p8adnSQ7DueE9nTV...@earthlink.com:
I'd be interested in stories about Joseph Ludwig, a ship's
captain who bought the Shreveport-Vicksburg RailRoad after the
Civil War. Also, stories about Martin Rouse, who was a member of
the Produce Exchange in New York. They both lived in Jersey
City, New Jersey.
Also, anything on Samuel Hudson Fisher of Philadelphia. He was
active in the Anti-Mason party, and was Commissioner of Deeds
before the Civil War.

I couldn't find any stories about Joseph Ludwig.
This isn't worth much, but here is a story mentioning Martin Rouse from the
front page of the May 19, 1892 Trenton Times:
http://img225.imageshack.us/my.php?image=martinrousesf8.gif
That was the only article I could find that mentioned Martin Rouse.
I see that there are some articles mentioning Samuel Fisher. If those are
worthwhile, it may take me some time to collect them, so for now I will post
this message, and I will reply to this later with those articles.

From the September 12, 1836 "Adams Sentinel", (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania) a
good story where Sam was appointed Chairman:
http://img519.imageshack.us/my.php?image=samuelfisherappointedbc2.gif
This seems to be an advertisement announcing that Samuel is selling the
property of his late brother Jacob. Although this may be some other Samuel
Fisher, because I also saw stories on a Samuel A. Fisher, a tailor. From the
June 26, 1838 "Star and Republican Banner", (Gettysburg, Pennsylvania):
http://img293.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fisherestatesalefn1.gif
It seem the property didn't sell, because the ad was later placed in the
paper in July and August.
There may be more stories, possibly many more. I will look for more later.

Thank you for your generous offer.
Although I've no idea where this guy went to, I would really
appreciate if you'd let me know when you come across someone by the
name of Ludwig Deipenau, a Taylor from Lewe (Liebenburg, Duchy of
Brunswick-Wolfenbuettel).
He seems to have emigrated to the US around 1875 or somewhat later,
but since then, he's nowhere to be seen again.
Any information on his whereabout, or any clue about his arrival
stateway, would be greatly appreciated.
Kindly yours
Detlev E. Deipenau

I looked, but I could not find any articles about Ludwig Deipenau.
By taylor, I assume you are referring to his occupation. That is spelled
tailor here in the United States.
Did you look at this website: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/
Someone has posted a little bit of information on Ludwig there, including
his birthdate and his middle name.
Nicholas Adams
That's the one. Still, the reference "Kreibaum" doesn't know anything
about Ludwig, either.
But thanks, nevertheless.

About 1850 United States Federal Census
This database is an index to individuals enumerated in the 1850 United
States Federal Census, the Seventh Census of the United States. Census
takers recorded many details including each person's name, age as of the
census day, sex, color; birthplace, occupation of males over age
fifteen, and more. No relationships were shown between members of a
household. Additionally, the names of those listed on the population
schedule are linked to actual images of the 1850 Federal Census.
For more information about this database, click here.
This database details those persons enumerated in the 1850 United States
Federal Census, the Seventh Census of the United States. In addition,
the names of those listed on the population schedule are linked to the
actual images of the 1850 Federal Census, copied from the National
Archives and Records Administration microfilm, M432, 1009 rolls. (If you
do not initially find the name on the page that you are linked to, try a
few pages forward or backward, as sometimes different pages had the same
page number.)
For the first time in the history of the United States census,
enumerators of the 1850 census were instructed to record the names of
every person in the household. Added to this, enumerators were presented
with printed instructions, which account for the greater degree of
accuracy compared with earlier censuses. Enumerators were asked to
include the following categories in the census: name; age as of the
census day; sex; color; birthplace; occupation of males over age
fifteen; value of real estate; whether married within the previous year;
whether deaf-mute, blind, insane, or "idiotic"; whether able to read or
write for individuals over age twenty; and whether the person attended
school within the previous year. No relationships were shown between
members of a household. The categories allowed Congress to determine
persons residing in the United States for collection of taxes and the
appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives.

Thanks for the info.
Not looking for anyone but I've just finished extracting all the WARRENs
from the 1850 North Carolina census and was wondering if there was any
reason to post it to the WARREN mailing list. Since apparently it is
information that's readily available via Ancestry.com there would seem to
be little reason for me to do so.

careful. I have found incidences where I have done a search on a
township and found several members of a family that are in their teens
or younger. When you open the image of the census it list not only the
members listed but several more members of the family including the
parents of the listed children.

It's hard to tell. I don't know the parents or siblings for this
Samuel H. Fisher. His son and grandson are ALSO "Samuel H.
Fisher," and it took me awhile to sort out all the family stories
about them.

Thanks so much! This tidies up some things, and raises new
questions; for example, in one story he's listed as Maj. Sam'l
Fisher: is this a military rank, or is he the Majority Leader in
the legislature?

Thanks for that bit of info. I used the old AIS head of household index
and then HeritageQuest for the actual extraction. I found 676 WARRENs.
Amazingly close!
