I am sad to report that Ernie HUNTLEY has passes away on the 12th of August aged
90. He was my cousin six times removed & we shared paternal relatives in the
WHITEING family of Frome. Any sightings of Vertue WHITEING will always be
welcome, especially in his memory.

I will really miss him as we wrote each other offlist. I am going out to Ontario
next month and had hoped to meet him. It goes to show how you should never put
off these trips. I am finally taking my dads ashes to bury him. So a week or so
in Ontario and then a week to visit a good friend in Montreal. And then back
home. My first trip in Eastern Canada

am been very busy; but sold my old home finally...yippee....close end this month
on the 30th....over a year and a month of paying two mortgages, it feels like a
major load off my mind. It has been a stressful year of trying to get property
constantly fixed and updated to sell even though was a great property to start
with but difficult market right now. We settled for considerably less then
asking price but one does what one has to do. However, now we will have one set
of property taxes, one set of utilities and one mortage and not to mention
maintenance costs to run one home so life will be easy. House insurance and
taking care of two properties was time consuming. I have a difficult enough time
cleaning and maintaining one house let alone two. I hope I will have more time
to devote to my hobbies soon. I also have been doing renovations to my new home
which as everyone knows if teeth ghashing but almost finished. This week, it is
replacing carpets with
  laminate. We have animals and so it was necessary plus allergies to carpet made
it necessary. Compound that with dental and medical and I just feel like there
is not enough hours in the day. However, life is good regardless just busy.

I hope everyone else is doing well. We have had very hot weather in British
Columbia,Canada. Some might say glorious. I just had a friend stay with me whose
home caught in forest fires in Okanogan. She could not return to her home and
her family had been evacuated. She returned yesterday. Still waiting to hear
from her as to state of her home. There still is forest fires going in her neck
of woods. There are rumours of lightening storms up that way so hoping that does
not start them off again. That can happen in an area that is so full of orchards
and dry brush and hot temperatures. There is a price to pay for living in
paradise.

My daughter is in Santa Monica and leaving this am for Carmel and Monterey. She
is very much in love with California. Lucky duck. I am thinking I need a
vacation after this last year. Smile. Well, dearly hoping to make it to England
next year for my genealogy research.

Would be fun, if our groups could get together and plan some kind of meet up in
frome where alot of us have our beginnings next year.

Well, that is my personal report to let you know why I have been absent and to
give you a personal perspective. Would be nice if everyone could just check in
and say a few words to let us know you are present and accounted for.

Much of this information has been passed to me by family members who have long
since passed I am trying to establish the facts on behalf of my sisters (did I
volunteer or was I pushed) As you can see my name is Jane Cuzner I have two
sisters , my father was Raymond Samuel Cuzner his father was Frederick Herbert
James Cuzner (known as Herbert) who was married to Harriet Smart.
Fredericks father was Raymond Cuzner who was married to Rosina Udell (or Youdle)
she was his first wife, before marriage I believe before marriage she lived with
her mother (possibly Maria) in Frome Street. Raymond and Rosina had 9 children
Frederick Herbert James (GFther), Kate Louise, Florence Lily, Ellen Rose, Sidney
Albert, Arthur Russell, Alfred George, Stanley Roland, Hilda Mary, (I believe
the family lived in Spring Gardens Frome)
His second married, one the family did not speak about, was to Alice Collins and
they had a least 3 children Leonard, Ernest and Violet. (may moved to London
after marr)
Raymond's parents were James Crisp Cuzner and Mary Pickford and they had 8
children including Raymond, a son Francis and  daughters Mary, Emily, Rosa,
Tabitha, Eva, Mary and Kate. Nothing further back as yet.  Regards Jay

Bob,

Do you happen to have a full list of the siblings of David, Daniel, and Joseph
Cuzner?

Collegiate School it was established in 1837 by Daniel Cuzner who was one of my
G-G-Grandfather’s younger brothers. Beckington is a small Somerset village
near Frome, and in the 17th and 18th centuries was home to some wealthy families
involved in  the cloth manufacturing industries. By the mid-19th century
Beckington was home to a number of independent schools, including the Collegiate
School and a surprisingly high number of cordwainers.

education in both the arts and sciences for day scholars and boarders whose ages
ranged from about eight to seventeen years. Daniel was both the Principal of the
School and teacher of English literature, language and music. His brother David
specialised in the sciences, including astronomy. David’s son, George taught
science, and was recognised for his experiments with electric motors in the
1870s.

who were responsible for large housing developments in North London between 1860

mayor of Trowbridge. In the 1880s the School began providing an English
education for foreign students and this brought a number of titled ladies from
mainland Europe onto the school roll. One of the most interesting ex-pupils was
W S Andrews who later became head of science teaching at the Collegiate School.
He emigrated to the USA where he became a senior assistant to Thomas Edison and
supervised the commissioning of many General Electric power generating stations
for him in the United States of America and in Canada.

still stands in the centre of Beckington and immediately next to it is the
‘old cottage’ where Daniel Cuzner, his father and two younger generations
lived. However, the School effectively closed its doors in 1894 when Daniel
died.
>
> This branch of the Cuzner family continue to be part of the teaching world.
One of George’s sons, Edgar became a history teacher in south London, and
Alan, one of George’s grandsons headed the Archives department of the
Department of Education & Science in London. Alan’s son, Robert (me) was head
of the publishing department of the Further Education & Curriculum Development
Unit in London, and Alan’s granddaughter, Elizabeth, is a history teacher.

of the Philippines.

You can go to books.google.com and search for the Registers of the Abbey Church
of SS. Peter and Paul, Bath and then search for Cowsner. In the index, they list
the name as Cowsner (Cusner), so it is likely that these individuals are part of
our larger Cuzner family. Google books only has the burials, but the index lists
other entries in volume 1.

If so, these names would be the oldest Cuzner references I've ever found. It
still isn't earlier than the beginning of Huguenot emigration starting inf 1562
with the wars of religion. It also indicates that searching more in Bath might
prove useful.

Thanks Steve!
I ran across a On World Tree about the Newcomb's.
Martha Elizabeth (Lizzie)'s Husband is Harrison R Newcomb Jr.
not Harry.

They were married in 1911 in Warren, OH.

I'm guessing the T is an error, J to T in the paper. So Arthur was living in

Well, I was looking for a site...please pardon the term...for bastards...well,
its rude but when one is looking for enlightenment on how the census takers
might have used initials or how they may have written it up on census records,
one has to use the language of the day and they used that term quite generously
in those days. There was no such thing as political correctness. I found a very
peculiar entry and I thought perhaps my relative had been born on the wrong side
of the blanket and was trying to figure out what the term meant so was trying to
look up the term. Anyway, my detective took me to this site. It did not answer
my question and the site is really not relevant to my ancestors being in
Wirksworth and Derbyshire. However, being the history buff I am and lover of all
trivia, I did find many interesting things to read on the site. Very interesting
things about free and voluntary gift to King Charles 11 and they have lists of
donors
  and this dates back to 1600's. What is interesting is how many people have
contributed lists to this site. It really shows what a group of people can do
privately and without alot of money/non-profit. I was quite impressed. It was
also worth looking at because it gives you some ideas of other places to look
for leads. They have leads of police gazette records of sheep thieves. They have
assessment rolls of the people who had to pay the very unpopular hearth tax
which was an area I never thought of looking. There is lists of bastards and
aliases. Unpopular surnames. I could go on and on. BTW, the bastard terminology
is what they use because that was the Court of Bastardy Cases for their district
so I am only using the actual language of the day and mean no offence to anyone.
I, myself make no moral judgements about this sort of thing and in fact my
grandmother had her first child out of wedlock and I am having one heck of a
time finding him thanks to all
  the secrecy and taboo of illegimacy of children in those days.

Here is link for those who might be searching for ancestors in that area or may
just want to take a look to get some ideas of other areas to search or just
curious like me.

seems that it stores photos of ancestors for all sorts of miscellaneous

one of my Cuzners though it is find to find any photos of Cuzners anywhere. It
was a university photo. Have not checked any other surnames yet. Anyway,
an interesting site though probably not one that will provide earth shattering
results. More for fun.

after I sent out the last messages, I noticed that I had one extra variable in
my search criteria that I had not noticed and that was Jewish. I guess because I
had been looking in the new Jewish database, it had automatically put me in
it and autofilled it. So the searches I had previously had done had been
Cuzner,Alsace and Jewish. So I changed the variables to just Cuzner,Alsace and
it seemed I then was turned on to the 1930 US Census. There was a ton of Cuzners
in there. So many James,Janes and Graces. They sure like those family names. Oh,
some Marys too. Alot in California, Mass. and some place called Rensselaer,New
York. Several other places but those names come up frequently. I do not know the
States very well and had to look several times to spell the place in New York
which I had never heard of before. Imagine spelling that when you have had a
glass of wine or two. Gee, how do you even say it.

Btw, good book for anyone interested in beginners DNA and genealogy. Trace
Your Roots With DNA Using Genetic Tests to Explore Your Family Tree by Megan
Smolenyak with Ann Turner. She is the lead researcher for the PBS series
Ancestors series and contributing editor for Heritage Quest magazine and author
of several other genealogy books. She is also on some Brit show that is all the
rage where celebrities do their DNA and trace their ancestry. I have managed to
pick up sometimes on BBC. It is very good. Her co writer Ann Turner has
a DNA-genealogy site on rootsweb.

I am really hoping that one day when we get enough people interested we can
contact one of the agencies and pool our resources and do a surname kit. I do
not mind putting in extra money for those who cannot put in their share as long
as they dont mind submitting their DNA. I would like to find one though where we
can just submit DNA as anony numbers like National Geographic does. I love the
technology and how we can find out more information for our research but do not
want our information individually out there for some Big Brother Agency to
possess. The Company that The Latter Day Saints owns has been offering free kits
however they will copyright your DNA and own it. There is no such thing as a
free ride. I would rather pay through the nose then let some own my DNA. I
was quite shocked that they were going to possess peoples DNA. I belong to a
DNA email list and there is was quite a battle going on the little re the
ethics. Some felt it was
  quite okay since the Mormons were giving free tests so it was quid pro. I was
in the nay group. However, I also think it is buyer beware. If people are stupid
enough to not educate themselves on the risks then they deserve what happens to
them. So if we ever decide to do a study, we must educate ourselves very well
and make educated decisions. One is anonymity and one no one owns our DNA. I
know I sound paranoid but having been a government employee for much of my
working life, I think that gives me a certain credibility to be paranoid. One
must never invite Big Brother in your home unnecessarily.

Well, rant over for now. I do hope I have not turned off anyone from DNA kits.
Because it can be an incredible tool . I have been on my list for years and have
heard incredible stories and people finding out incredible discoveries. Who
knows we might all be related. Would not that be scary!!! Perhaps we might be
having that reunion in Frome sooner than we think. One thing I would really like
to gleam from the DNA is the origin of our name. Unfortunately, I  cannot do
that from my DNA. My DNA will only trace my maternal line. So I really need
someone else to do it. Any volunteers?

Note regarding the images for the states of PA, MD, WV, and DE. These four
states were scanned at the National Archives facility in such a way that the
back of one person’s draft card appears on the same image as the front of the
next individual. The result is that when you click to view the original image,
you will see the correct front side of the draft card, but the back of the
previous soldier’s card. Ancestry is aware of this problem, and is working to
correct this issue.   View

Have researched Cuzner in past as possibly Jewish with no success. I have gone
to every Jewish site but it just is not Jewish. I did find a few similiar names
but no cigar. I found one Louis Cuzner buried in a Jewish cementary from France
but for all we know he could have been a French underground fighter. Not that I
would mind being Jewish and I am the point where I really want to know for sure
what source this name comes from. Also, I have to admit the Jewish people have
always sort of fascinated me at how they seem so tight as a society though I
cannot pretend to believe all their religion. sigh....However, religion is not a
topic we shall discuss here.

Anyway, I bought an International membership at Ancestry so I figured I might as
well use it. Today, I put in a broad search for Cuzner and Alsace. I think it
was Frances that said there was a tie in. I did get some hits though some were
kind of indirect. I will post them here and possibly in two messages. I put them
in one message and then the message puked. So I am doing this all over again. If
anyone sees a name that interests them, ask me and I will get you more detailed
info about the person.

How to Trace Your Family Tree without Spending the Family Fortune


Esther Rantzen has written an article that will be of interest to anyone
researching ancestors in England or Wales. She describes the services of the
General Register Office that is now available online on Directgov. Some
commercial companies charge as much as GBP30.00 for a birth certificate but each
certificate costs from just GBP7.00 if you order online via Directgov.
Public information about registering births, marriages and deaths in England and
Wales has moved from the GRO (General Register Office) website and is now
available on the government's supersite, Directgov, from 7 April 2009.
One statistic in this article that amazed me was "GRO online ordering service
currently receives up to 7,000 applications a day." No wonder they are moving
their services to the web. Can you imagine the manpower required to handle 7,000
applications per day?
You can read more on the TMCnet web site at

Hi all,

I've posted my descendants of John and Mary (Greenland) Cuzner tree on rootsweb.
Please feel free to take a look and provide feedback.

Ric,

I found some info more of George's children today: Henry Harry Cuzner died in
Charlston, WV on July 8, 1955 and was buried at Sunset Memorial Park on the
10th. His obit mentions Martha Newcomb in Franklin and George of Middletown. Of
special note, it also lists another brother, A. T. Cuzner of Detroit, Michigan.
I'm guessing the T is an error, J to T in the paper. So Arthur was living in
Detroit in 1955.

Steve

Hi--I've been corresponding with Steve, and he told me today about this group.
My ggrandmother was Louisa Sophia Cuzner (b. 10/18/1846 in London) who married
Cornelius Benjamin Van Horn.  She was the daughter of Thomas and Mary Cuzner.
I am going to England this summer to do genealogy research so am interested in
finding out more about the Cuzners in that area so as to know where to
concentrate my research.  I will be in York for a week at the Yorksgen
conference, then will travel to London for a week.
I look forward to hearing from members of the group.
I will be happy to share research information upon my return from England.
Regards,
Carol
