Please see message #623 for a snippet of the Champaign County, IL Census of 1900. Julia was married by that time to John Geiser, and Verinda/Verranda, Rachel, and William were living in that household. The children's father was noted as born in Kentucky, which confirms your information.

As you can tell from that message and the original one, I am descended from Rachel. Your post thrills me, as I had not yet succeeded in finding Rachel's father's given name, nor her mother's family name.

Would love to exchange family info with you!

This is quite exciting for me, too, because I found Rachel only about a month ago on that 1900 census. Before that, I had her name to go on and no more so it was great to find Julia's name and the siblings. Knowing more about her Copes--and so soon after the census discovery at that--would be fantastic!

On the census, Julia's father was listed as coming from Kentucky, her mother from Virginia.

I have Family Origins and FTM, so sending and receiving GEDCOMs is (usually) no problem.

I have a William Cope in my family ancestors. He was born Dec 1819 in Christian Co. Ky. He is the son of David Cope & Angelica Cola Pace. Is this the same William Cope?

Probably not, my William had children in the 1880's and later. That would make him quite old!!!! I don't know his parents names but do know his wife's name, Julia White Snow Hollingsworth. Both William and Julia were born in Clay Co., Kentucky. Sorry!!

This is really strange, but my great grandparents were Dennie Hollingsworth and Frank Cope, Clay Co. KY. Do you think they are any relation to William and Julia? Hmmm...

It wouldn't suprprise me at all. I have found that it is quite common for the same family members marry into another. I have 3 cousins that all marrried into the same family in a 3 year period!!

Weird isn't it?

Robin! How nice to hear from you!

Yes, I have rounded out the family a bit since 2001! For one thing, Henry and Rachael had other children besides Oliver and Ruth, and I believe I've found them all.

The best place to access new-to-you info is to visit my tree at Rootsweb:

http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=lfazekas

I'm a little behind on updating this tree. Still, you should be able to find some things you didn't have before, with documentation notes included.

Let me know if you see anything there you'd like to discuss further.

And yes, I am very interested in new Cope info. In fact your timing is perfect, as we're coming into the time of year when I do my best to make time for family research.

Best regards,
Lynn
