This came to me from another list, thought I would forward it along:

 In case you ever wondered why a large number of your ancestors disappeared
during a certain period in history, this might help.  Epidemics have always
had a great influence on people - and thus influencing, as well, the
genealogists trying to trace them.  Many cases of people disappearing from
records can be traced to dying during an epidemic or moving away from the
affected area.  Some of the major epidemics in the United States are listed
below:

Thanks.   The post of the mother in Oregon  is something that  is the
plight of many  both mothers and fathers across our Nation    has had to
deal with.                 Maybe our law makers (voteing today)
need to take a hard look at.  It i sad but rewarding  to hear of a mothe
who gave her soul so that her child could live a "normal" life of not
having to be the ball between the parents      because  some
inconsiderate of the child ruled such thoughtlessly for the child.
Thank  the mother in Orgon for sharing, Thanks to the list mebe for
posting it and Thank you owner of AGS for printing  A   plight on the
web that is in the spotlight of the public.........Maybe someone will be
encouraged and our laws will change the way we treat our children.
Olivia in Ca.

If this message came to me I would do look-up like newspaper
graduation pictures etc and I would mail or scan it to her as I would
any request I get.  Newspaper articles and pictures in them seem to me
to be public domain.  I never question a legality on a look-up.  Fact
is someone could mail the whole newspaper to her therefore not
choosing just the son's portion .
 She could also call the newspaper office and buy a newspaper to be
sent to her without any personal explanation at all .

I think this is all that can be done unless a person aquainted with
her could respond at their choice and relate news.  Maybe someone who
knew her when she lived there could respond with news.  I was a child
of this kind and I certainly could have benifited by casual info from
someone..

Hello All,

Can someone tell me where White River, Arkansas is or was?

Information found today states my ggg grandfather, John McDaniel/McDonald
supposedly being born around there, this was about 1820.

Unless I am overlooking it I cannot find it listed as a county, can someone
help ?

Thanks,
Dona

It seems like every three or four months a story like this seems to show up.
It is no question that the mother of this child (the child is almost 18
years now) is very distressed over this situation.  She has my sympathy over
what has happened and what is going on now.  However, I am only hearing her
side of the story and I can not pass judgement on the laws or courts that
allowed this situation to become what it is today.  It is my firm  belief
that these type of topics should not be part of this forum.  This is not a
"Dear Abby" column and I would appreciate all of our correspondence be
related to genealogy....to be enjoyed by all and benefical to everyone who
participates.
