FamilySearch.org is also putting Revolutionary War records online but I don't know how long the project will take. Hope it will be soon! Vicki,

None of them were at Valley Forge, I think, but I would have to trace where the Parmelees were engaged and stationed. Now I'm curious. Where do you find records of that war?

]]> Comment on A Minister’s Influence by Holly http://genealogyfan.com/blog/a-ministers-influence/#comment-56 Holly Sun, 30 Mar 2008 23:19:47 +0000 http://genealogyfan.com/blog/a-ministers-influence/#comment-56 It is hard for me to believe this particular changing point in history could occur again or something similar. We live in an "information age", people base there actions and opinions on many sources. I just don't think a minister could have such a world altering affect. But, hopefully, as all Christians follow their own hearts and belief system - the world can be a better place. Keep writing, I certainly enjoy checking out whats new at this blog. Thanks!

]]> Comment on Baby Names And Family History by Carol http://genealogyfan.com/blog/baby-names-and-family-history/#comment-54 Carol Thu, 27 Mar 2008 12:43:59 +0000 http://genealogyfan.com/blog/baby-names-and-family-history/#comment-54 Thank you for your comment. I think Themis, Valon and Anton are nice names that a child could certainly grow into. But I still wonder about other names that lend themselves to teasing etc. Most kids have enough problems growing up without having that to deal with. But in the long run you're right, it could build character and strength. Thank you for your comment. I think Themis, Valon and Anton are nice names that a child could certainly grow into.

Many strange name bearers probably alter their challenge, from weakness to strength. Enjoyed the article..Yes I’ve come across some interesting names in the past.

As you look at his life, you could say look at all of the failures that he had. I like to say look at the great experiences he learned from so he could succeed. He never gave up.
