A WACKY WORLD
These are wild and crazy times. The War on Terror rages on in
Afghanistan and Iraq. Housing prices are soaring out of
sight. The United States is bracing for an invasion of mad cows
and sick birds that has already claimed both animal and human victims
in other countries. Food that's bad for you today will be
beneficial tomorrow, as will the prescription medicine you're
taking--if you can figure out what's going on with Medicare. And
the global warming is causing the poles to melt and the snow to fall
here in Southern California. It's a wacky world. We love
genealogy for many reasons--it's mysterious, challenging, and
addicting. But most of all, our forays into the past allow us to
escape to what seem like simpler times. Often, that supposition
is debatable. But now, our ancestors are hopefully at
peace. We hope they bring you relaxation and carefree hours of
research--and the assurance that all things, both good and bad, pass
into the comfort and familiarity of yesterday to help shield us from
the question marks of tomorrow.
A Good Idea: Please join us at our VIRTUAL
REUNION

LOST AND MISSING COUSINS
by Barbara Peck
Edited by Tim Seawolf-Self
During the past few years, we've been searching for "lost"
cousins--Self relatives who have corresponded with us but whose e-mail
addresses have become invalid. This article presents statistics
on these "drop-outs" with a discussion of their implication for future
Self genealogical research.
TOTAL FIGURES
We've heard from 2801 Self cousins since September 1996. Of
those, 1305--or 47%--have been "lost" somewhere in Cyberspace.
1496 remain as of Christmas 2005. (See figure 1) The
highest number of correspondents (439) made first contact in 1997 while
the lowest number (137) initially wrote in 2005. Excluded from
the count are the mere 12 new cousins who discovered us in the first
three months of our existence (October-December 1996) or those whose
dates have been deleted by computer crashes and/or upgrades. (See
figure 2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first indication of a "lost" cousin usually comes in October when
we send out our annual greetings. Addresses that "bounce" back to
us are extracted from our main cousin roster and put into a separate
file named for the year of the greeting. In 2005, we sent out two
inclusive mailings--one in April to announce our new "Virtual Reunion"
site and one in October just to say hello to everyone. We were
appalled at the number of invalid addresses that turned up. The
April announcement was just six months after the 2004 annual
greeting. We couldn't believe that 98 cousins had "gone missing"
in that short a time. October was a little better with just 69
bad addresses--but together that totaled to 167, the highest number of
"drop-outs" in one year since we began "Self Portraits."
Next comes the hard part: trying to locate a new e-mail address
for those "lost" cousins. The best resource is the Web.
There are many ways one can find someone, and we try them all, not just
once, but continually through the following years. We begin with
a search on the individual's name followed by the prefix of their old
address. If there are no results, we try the entire old
address. Often that search will reveal certain other "keys" such
as other surnames they are researching and possible forums for newer
postings, the names of spouses or children, the area in which they
live, or other hobbies and interests. A more unusual key might
lead to the main website of their former ISP which can yield clues such
as location or a previous workplace, church, or organization. A
good guess is that one in fifty is found on the first try--but we don't
give up easily.
WHY ARE THESE
COUSINS "LOST"?
There are many reasons why a cousin becomes a "lost"
correspondent. The following are a few of the most common:
(a) Death
(b) Illness or infirmity
(c) Loss of interest in family research
(d) New hobbies
(e) Family, work, or social obligations
(f) Frustration (hitting the proverbial "brick wall")
(g) Completion of their research
(h) Defunct ISP (changed address)
(i) Too much spam (changed address)
(j) Moved to another location (changed address)
(k) Marriage, remarriage or other name change (changed address)
(l) Dissatisfaction with ISP (changed address)
(m) Switch to cable or DSL (changed address)
Those whose reasons are c through g may never get back into
research; on the other hand, receiving a message from us
(assuming we can find them) may spur them on to a fresh start.
Cousins with reasons h through m have almost always forgotten where
they've posted or written in the past. The Web is full of gedcom
pages and queries with bad addresses, especially when the particular
site hasn't been updated for a long time...
Unfortunately, we've even run into some very hostile Self
descendants. They seem friendly enough when they first contact
us, but suddenly we'll get an angry e-mail saying that they don't wish
to receive an "annual greeting." At this point, they are lost to
us because we'll never be sure we have a correct address on hand.
We have yet to be given a reason for this behavior...
Finally, some ISPs interpret our messages as SPAM. We've gotten
kind replies from cousins and noted the presence of the word "SPAM" in
the subject line. Why a greeting would be considered "JUNK MAIL"
is beyond me since we never send anything in bulk (though lots of bulk
mailings get through to US). Each message to each cousin is sent
individually--one of the fun parts of this job since we can also attach
personal lines wherever we want. We even take the time to work
with Earthlink's annoying filter where you have to fill in some cgi
boxes and then type in letters from a wavy graphic. We also don't
expect acknowledgments--it's just our way of keeping in touch...
LOST PERCENTAGES
BY YEAR
The years 1996-2001 are fairly close in the number of "lost" cousins as
of December, 2005. Though not always the
largest in any given year, the percentage of those "lost" who disappear
in the year immediately after first contact would probably seem
significant to a statistician (see figure 3). This may indicate
that genealogy was a sudden interest that died out quickly when answers
were not immediately forthcoming.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have identified three more trends:
(a) We attract fewer new contacts each year, possibly because we
already know most serious researchers, possibly because genealogy as a
pastime has reached
its peak and there is either less interest or
more proven success;
(b) We can expect the number of correspondents whose first contact was
in 2002-2005 to decline steadily until at least 1/3 of them are "lost";
(c) The average new researcher will contact us at an increasingly
younger age
The last trend needs some explanation. In 1995, the year before
we began "Self Portraits," the Web went graphical and opened up its
treasures to anyone who could access them. Although personal
computers had been around for awhile by then, a lot of people hesitated
in making a purchase because (a) they were very expensive and (b) most
programs and features were difficult to use, usually requiring a
knowledge of command language that was different for every version of
every application, proper spelling, and the ability to type
well. Then suddenly, Windows became popular, and the Mosaic
interface
made the Web easy and fun. The amount of users caused ISP prices
to plummet, and as more people bought computers, their cost went down
as well. Before the turn of the century, thousands of new
households joined the information revolution. The excitement
convinced seniors who had previously feared the new technology to sign
on to the Internet, and they joined groups, chat rooms, e-mail lists
and discovered fledgling sites that were intented to deliver the most
information at the fastest speed. One favorite senior
pastime--genealogy--seemed tailor-made for the Web.
Correspondence and sharing, once the greatest obstacles to research,
were now accomplished often within the hour in contrast to the days and
weeks required by snail mail.
Today--ten years later--the Web is an everyday companion. It's
something that children are growing up with, never realizing how
difficult it was to communicate with distant relatives and friends in
the "stone age" days before they were born. But as for seniors,
probably all that want to get wired are wired by now. Unless the
problem is financial, it doesn't seem as if we're going to convince
those holding out that it will change their lives for the better.
So a large proportion of the population with an interest in family
research will probably never come online. On the other hand,
younger people may adopt our pastime at an earlier age and tap those
precious resources before they're gone. When I began doing
genealogy at age 14, back in 1959, I was a novelty, almost a freak to
my friends and to adults who couldn't understand a preference for dusty
books over sports and parties. Today, that stigma is
disappearing, and we regularly hear from teenagers who are fascinated
with their forebears.
SUMMARY
The number of new Self cousin correspondents is declining. We are
also "losing" almost 1/3 of each previous year's contacts as each new
year goes by. While the interest in genealogy seems to have
peaked among seniors, more young people are picking up the family
history where they left off. Other factors, too, have combined to
remove once avid researchers from our ranks. Among them are
illness, family or work obligations, and--most unfortunately--the
preponderance of SPAM that comes to anyone whose e-mail address can be
"harvested" from the Web. We would encourage cousins to notify us
of address changes and to continue our online relationship even if they
don't plan to post queries or join the listserv. It's taken so
many years to find them that letting go is very hard to do.

MINOR SELF LINES
part 10
by Barbara Peck and Tim Seawolf-Self
In 2003, we presented an article on the major unconnected Self
lines. Now we'd like to concentrate on the minor lines that are
still not connected to Olde Robert Selfe, even by "best
evidence." In this installment, we've included Self
branches from Minnesota and Missouri. We hope to
feature more
small
family
lines
in the following newsletters.
MINNESOTA
THOMAS
SELF: Thomas Self was born in England in 1822. His
wife, Ann, was Irish, born in 1817. They emigrated to Hennepin
County, MN. They apparently had no children. Who were
Thomas Self's parents?
EDWARD
SELF: Another Englishman, Edward was born in 1819.
He lived in Ramsey County, MN. We know nothing more about him.
SARAH
S. SELF: Born 1859 in Minnesota, Sarah married Daniel H.
McGuire and lived in Ramsey County, MN. Their daughter, Maria M.
McGuire, was born in 1879.
MISSOURI
THOMAS
SELF: This Thomas Self was born in Missouri in 1881 and
married Josie (mnu). His mother's name was Lizzie. His
children, born in Bollinger County, were: Charles, Ida, Horace,
Maggie, and Mandie.
ELIZABETH
SELF: Elizabeth (Self) Hahn and her husband, Daniel, also
lived in Bollinger County. She was born about 1865. They
had five children before Daniel's death in 1910.
JAMES
SELF: He gave his father's birthplace as England--which
may or may not be true--and his mother's as Virginia. James Self
was born in 1817 and lived in Buchanan County, KY. His wife,
Mary, was allegedly born in Scotland. Their known children:
James A. and Mildred.
GEORGE
C. SELF: Calloway County, MO was home to this Self and his
wife of unknown name and origin. They had two children before the
turn of the 20th century, Goldie M. and Margaret L. Self.
JAMES
A. SELF: Although he apparently lived in Buchanan County,
MO., James A. (or P.) Self was also associated with Cape
Girardeau. His wife, Josephine, was born in Illinois in 1870 and
was 13 years his junior. They had four children: James T.
and Francis X. (possibly twins), Joseph L., and Les A.
LEVEGA
SELF: Early in our Web presence, we had a query about
Levega Self. We didn't know much about him then, and only a bit
more today. He was born 1849 in Carter County, MO and married
Martha J. The family was in Wayne County, MO by 1900 which is
suggestive of ties to the Moss family who lived in the same area.
Their four children were also born in Wayne County: Emery, Ezra,
Ruthie, and Walter.
WILLIAM
J. SELF: William J. Self was a native of Crawford County,
MO., born in 1841. His wife's name was Elizabeth, and she was
supposedly born in 1845 in England. Ida, Alice, George L., and
Walter were the names of his children.
THOMAS
SELF: Yet another Thomas Self was born in 1850. He
and his wife, Anna, lived in Dent County. They also had four
children: Hattie [or Katie], Bill [or Belle], John, and Clarence,
all born in the 1870s.
JOHN
H. SELPH: Four children were born to John H. Selph (b.
1860) and Della Jane Snider. Lora B., Florence, Hattie (m. Harold
Eugene Goss), and Sylvesta grew up in Greene County.
WILLIAM
SELPH: Yet another mystery is William Selph, b. 1858 in
Greene County, MO. Son Claude L. was born in OK, but the other
children--Grace E., Clifford, Daniel B., and Axie Semar--appear to have
been born back in Greene County to William and his wife, Mollie.
SARAH
SUSAN SELF: We'd love to know the ancestry of Sarah Susan
Self. We have no birthdate or birthplace for her, but she m.
Silas L. White on July 28, 1853 in Greene County, MO and had at least
one child, Silas Lee, b. in 1863 and d. in 1929.
LETITIA
MARY SELF: Francis Blattman (1797 in Germany to 1862 in
Jackson County, MO) married Letitia Mary Self, ancestry unknown.
Their six children born in Kansas City, MO were: Martha Agnes,
Henry Elliot, Sarah Ann, James Alexander, Emilia Josephine, and Mary
Letitia.
JOHANNA
(JANE) SELF: She died in Jackson County, MO in 1882, but
we don't know where or when she was born. She married Thomas
Hypolite Vasquez in 1854. They had five daughters: Clarissa
Jane, Margaret Emily, Mary Elizabeth, Lucy Alice, and Eliza Ann and
lived in Kansas City, MO.
JOHN
M. SELF: Another resident of Jackson County, MO was John
M. Self. His first wife, Rebecca Anne Fitzwater, was the mother
of his son, Warren Raymond. When she died in 1878, he married her
sister, Mary Ann Fitzwater and had two daughters, Mary and Annie.
JAMES
SELF: Who was James Self, born 1858 in Macon County,
MO? His wife was Sarah Owens, and his daughter was Nora Self.
ANN
ELIZA SELF: Two confusing Self women lived in Marion
County, MO. Ann Eliza Self m. Charles B. Chesley in 1847.
ELIZA
ANN SELF: It's possible that this is the same person as
Ann Eliza Self above--or it could be a sister or other close
relative. She was born May 17, 1830 and m. on the same day, John
Bunbury Chesley. Her children were Mary Frances Chesley and
William Short Chesley.
JONAS
F. SELF: Born 1861 in Ohio, Jonas F. Self and his wife,
Huldah, lived in McDonald County, MO. Eldest child, Jonas A., was
born in Kansas while daughters, Lillie L. and Vina L., were born in
Missouri.
ELIZABETH
ANN SELF: Wife of Aaron Clark Coberly, Elizabeth Ann Self
of Morgan County, MO had five children: Angeline M., Elizabeth
E., Caroline, John Hiram, and Margaret J. We have descendants for
all of them, but no ancestors for Elizabeth.
ELCEY
ANN SELF: The name may have been
Elcey/Ailsey/Alcey/Elsie/Alice--these names were often interchangeable
in the years before the Civil War. Elcey Ann married Jacob Andrew
McFarland Smith, also of Morgan County, MO. Their large family
consisted of: Elijah Theadore, Jacob, Joseph, Elizabeth, Tabitha,
Agnes, Ellen, Julia, Mae, Tom, and William.
JOHN
H. SELF: Another mysterious family of Morgan County was
that of John H. and Mattie Self and their three children, Nancy,
Samuel, and Martha.
UNKNOWN
SELF: We don't even know the name of this individual, nor
do we know the name of his wife. We do know that he had two
children, living in Perry County, MO. One was another unknown
male who had three children (Francis M., Martha C., and Willis
Osborne), and the other was named Hezekiah. Who were these Selfs?
SAMUEL
W. SELF: This family lived in Phelps County, MO.
Sarah P. Self was the wife of Samuel W., who was born sometime between
1852 and 1858 according to two different Census records. The
couple had nine children: Daniel O., John M., Martha A., Mary L.,
George T., Elizabeth J., Moses, Sarah L., and Samuel W.
ELIZABETH
SELF: Elizabeth was the wife of John H. Jester of Polk
County, MO. Their eleven children were born between 1868 and
1888: William H., Charles A., John H., Lewis A., George T.,
Harriet B., Benjamin, Samuel O., Martha A., Ida M., and Clara E.
JOHN
W. SELF: Another resident of Polk County came there from
Vernon County with his wife Ellen Murphy before 1873 and had at least
two daughters--Susannah Bell and Lulia Ellen--and one son, James A.
JANE
SELF: Jane Self was born somewhere in NC in 1823.
She m. Madison M. Robb from KY and ended up in Polk County, MO with at
least one son, William Robb.
WILLIAM
H. SELF: His wife's name was Elizabeth T. They lived
in Polk County, MO. Their children were Mary J., Nellie, William
C., Raymond, James Oliver, and Ida R. Who were they?
STEWART
SELF: Forming a large "minor" line is the family of
Stewart Self. He was born in 1802 in Frederick County, VA.
He and wife, Nancy Ann Silvers, went to Morgan County, MO and then on
to Ralls County. We have descendants for 10 of his 14 children
(Eliza Ann, Mary Jane, Francis Marion, Sarah E., Lucinda Rebecca,
Martha M., Emily D., John R., Amanda E., William G., James R., Thomas
H., Alice V. B., and Elijah Jamison), but we can't place Stewart into
his proper line. Stewart may have been his middle name.
UNKNOWN
SELF: Dying before 1880 in St. Genevieve County, MO., this
unknown individual married a woman named Caroline who was allegedly
born in Prussia in 1842. Several Self families claim to be from
Prussia--and we'd like to know their history--whether they had
emigrated from England or some other place in Europe and then come to
America from Prussia in the 19th century. This Self had three
children named William, Emma E., and Anna.
CHARLEY
A. SELF: Born in Ohio in 1862, Charley A. Self was
reported as being born in Kentucky in the 1910 Census. His wife,
Harriet, was born 1856 in Iowa. Their child was named Oernie A.,
possibly a misspelling for "Ernie" or "Ernest"--but then again, maybe
not...
UNKNOWN
SELF: This unknown Selph also may have died before 1880
since he doesn't appear with his family on the Shannon County Census
for that year. He m. Susan (mnu), born 1844 in TN. The
entry beside his oldest child, John D., says that his father came from
Tennessee also. The other two children were Mary T. Self and
Nancy J. Bly Self.
DAVID
D. SELF: Stoddard County, MO was home to David D. and
Nancy J. (Cook) Self and their three children, Martha W., Frances C.,
and Doris A. David was born in Missouri, but where and to which
parents?
SUSAN
B. SELF: She was born 1873 in Vernon County, MO where she
later married her husband, William Frederick Westerhold. The
family of seven lived in Vernon County. The names of the five
children were: Maude, Fredric Everett, Lula, Joseph, and Edward.
ANGELINE
SELF: Mother of Isaac Steven Mobley, Angeline was born in
1832. She lived with her husband--whose first name is unknown--in
Wright County, MO.
MARIAN
A. SELF: Marian A. Self was born in Missouri in 1851, but
her husband, Thomas J. Crowther, was born in England. Their
children--George J., Mary Harriet, and Mildred Self--were all born in
Missouri, exact county unknown.
LARKIN
SELF: Larkin Self is a familiar name to most
researchers. The one who comes to mind was born in the eighteenth
century in Virginia. But there was another Larkin Self, born in
1862 in Indiana. His mother was also from Indiana, and his father
from Missouri. He m. Alice and went on to Kansas, finally
settling in IT (Indian Territory, or modern-day Oklahoma) by
1898. His children were Isaac, Ella, Bertha I., and Rosa.
BAYLIS
R. SELF: Baylis was born in 1843 in Missouri and his wife,
Augusta, in 1848 in Kentucky. By 1872, he was at home in
Bollinger County, MO where his children--Willie, Lula D., and
Vister--were apparently born.
WALTER
[OR WILLIAM] SELF: Another nineteenth century Loose End is
Walter Self. His name may actually be William. He and wife,
Viola, traveled around, too. He lived in Missouri, Texas, and
Indian Territory. His eight children were named William E.,
Lizzie, Ethel, Jesse, Bessie, Joseph, Fred, and Ernest.
G.
F. SELF: Pascal, Ralph, Frank, Charles, and Jessie were
children of G. F. and Etta Self of MO. G. F. was born in Missouri
while Etta was born in Wisconsin. By 1889, when Pascal was born,
the family lived in Lancaster County, Nebraska.
JOHN
WILLIAM SELF: Born 1867 in Missouri, John William Self was
the father of Charles Lee Self. Charles's mother was Josefine
Hackworth.
SARA
SELF: Sara Self married Lewis Harper and had two
daughters, Sarah Ann and Augusta. They lived somewhere in
Missouri.
SUMMARY
If you know about any of these Selfs from Minnesota and
Missouri,
please send
us a chart or gedcom showing their ancestry. In the issues to
follow, we'll be listing other "Loose Ends" from other states.
You'll find these people listed on the "Loose Ends" section of
"SelfSite" as well. We'd just love to put them in their place!
(NEXT: Minor Self Lines, part 11)
Maybe your ancestors used to tell
stories about life in the "old
days," stories you remember hearing as a child. Please tell us about
them. We will even supply editing and formatting; but we'd all love to
know about daily life in the Self families of old--and you may be able
to help. Please contact us.
And please state that your story is specifically for the newsletter.
