Subject: April 2008 Hoisington Newsletter

Hi, All.

The transition to a blog was a bust. Very little interest so, until I find a mailing list program simple enough that I can install and run it myself, I will be sending out a online newsletter/email approximately once a month, letting you know what has been posted to the website and what I'm currently researching. I will also be happy to post any queries you send me. Also, if you haven't introduced yourself to the other researchers, I would be happy to post your research interests, biographical info, etc.

During the last few weeks, I have been:

1) working on posting some of the English Horsington research I've done.
2) posted the 1910 census information for MI Hoisingtons
3) added the photos I took of the Hartland Village Cemetery tombstones and the Hartland Center tombstones and linked them to the appropriate persons.
4) added some marriage info for early Vermonters
5) added all the burial info I found for Hoisingtons on findagrave
6) for those of you who are also related to the Hatfields, Hardins, Combs, or Morrises, I've been working on censuses in Indiana and Ohio. I've also been in contact with descendants of Peter Anderson Combs and Elnora Bell Hatfield,she is a previously undocumented sister of my grandmothers.
7) added information for Hoisingtons and Horsingtons from google books
8) posted information on a lawsuit between Elias and Elijah Hoisington re their mother's upkeep.

Some of the things I expect to do in the next few weeks:

1) post more of the tombstone photos from my research trip around the country. I still have 10-15 cemeteries in VT and several in MI left to do.
2) post document transcriptions from American Archives website.
3) upload and reconnect the pictures from the server that was hacked.
5) continue posting pension jpgs from Hoisingtons in the CW. I photographed all papers in their files for the given names beginning A-F and some of the G's when I was in Washington DC.

Longer-term projects include:

1) Posting Hoisington-related documents photographed at the Vermont Archives
2) Posting Hoisington-related land documents from various sites

I would be happy to do a lookup in any of the above documents. It's always good to hear from you. Write to me at hjensen@okcomputer.org.
