Introduction

Introduction
Welcome to JSB's Genealogy Site. I am J. Scott Barnes, and this is my modest contribution to the tidal wave of online family histories. Although my interest in genealogy runs back to my childhood, it is just since the advent of the Web that I have begun to do serious research. As you will see, my expertise is not in flashy graphics, but rather down-to-earth facts, sources, and details.

So, take a look around. If you find something of interest, don't hesitate to drop me a line. Talking with fellow researchers is one of the great joys of being on the Internet.

What's New

1 Aug 2006:

Updated database on mother's side for the first time in almost four years. I'm starting to add cemetery photos and GPS coordinates from my travels over the past seven years or so. Plus, I am slowing organizing and uploading my ancestral photo collection. Here are direct links for people whose personal, home, or gravestone pictures are available now:

John NACE (1770-1833)

David NACE (1808-1866) / Barbara ENDERS

David Benjamin NACE / Juliet Danner WAMPLER

Bruce Elmer NACE

Merrill Whitman NACE / Alice Duffield DICKSON

William Wampler NACE / Ella Mae ANDERSON

Mark DICKSON / Maria Clingan SCOTT

William Scott DICKSON / Mary Rebecca SLOAN

William Edward ANDERSON / Mary Cynthia WITHINGTON

Philip Kenneth ANDERSON / Margaret HANN

Thomas Eugene ANDERSON

Edward Withington ANDERSON

Francis Edward WITHINGTON

Frank Jenkins JACKSON / Ella Viola WITHINGTON

29 Jun 2005:

Updated database on father's side with a load of new NUSBAUM information, based on a recent visit to Chapel Lutheran Church Cemetery near Libertytown, Maryland. I included all of the NUSBAUMs buried there, even those for whom I have no ancestral connections...yet; more to come on this point! There are also new tombstone photos and associated GPS coordinates for several of my direct ancestors.

29 Sep 2003:

Newly-scanned photograph of my paternal grandparents, John and Ada Barnes.

6 Sep 2003:

Newly-scanned photograph of Harry T. "Pop" BARNES

24 Aug 2003:

Updated database on father's side with a load of new POOLE data. Discovered that there were two Hanson POOLEs in Frederick County, Maryland, both with fathers named William and both born in the 1821-1823 time frame (whew!) I now believe that this Hanson POOLE is my ancestor, while this Hanson POOLE died at Andersonville as mentioned in an earlier update.

New pictures from my father's side:

George William POOLE, his wife Elizabeth THOMPSON and daughter Florence POOLE

Samuel Thomas BARNES, his daughter Sallie BARNES and granddaughter Mildred CRAMPTON

Guy DIXON and Walter BARNES
