BINDER GENEALOGY
Compiled by Glenn Gohr


Binder is German in origin and has many variant spellings. I only know of it through my connection with the REDWINE family. I find this fascinating because I was raised in the Lutheran Church and all of my relatives on my father's side are German. Now I have found some German relatives on my mother's side.

I just recently (January 1999) learned of my connection to the Binder family of Germany and the Redwine family of Germany and Georgia thanks to Bobbie Lou Bridges who is also a descendant of James and Cynthia (Redwine) O'Kelly. The Redwines intermarried frequently with the Ballinger, Sartain, Bond, Wade, and other families of Georgia and Mississippi, so it is no wonder that I found this connection to the Redwines. My Garvins and O'Kellys lived in Madison County, Georgia and in Yalobusha County, Mississippi near the Redwines and these other families mentioned above. Many thanks also to Imogene Bennett, Tex Dick, and Nancy Guest for sharing what they know about the Redwine families.

Many thanks to Tex Dick for the early generations of this family. He is THE AUTHORITY on the Redwines.

ROOTSWEB BINDER MESSAGE BOARDS

There are several Message Boards on Rootsweb which are set up for the BINDER surname. These boards are for posting information in the following categories: BIBLE, BIOGRAPHY, BIRTH, CEMETERY, CENSUS, DEATH, DEED, IMMIGRATION, LOOKUP, MARRIAGE, MILITARY, OBITUARY, PENSION, QUERIES, and WILLS. The search perameters and drop down screen on the main page allow you to do a key word search or to view all postings according to one of the above categories. Click on the icon below to access the Binder Message Boards.

Query Post a query (or information from any one of the above categories) on any BINDER name or related family. Please give dates, and locations they lived. Try to give as much information as possible.


An online genealogy forum for posting queries has also been set up specifically for the BINDER family. It can be found at the following address:

    http://genforum.familytreemaker.com/binder

***Note***During the Fall of 1998, GenForum combined with Family Tree Maker, which means that all queries and information posted to that site becomes the property of Family Tree Maker. This is still a good site to look up information and get contact names for the BINDER lines you are searching, but be advised that if you now post a new query or a response to something on that site, chances are that sometime in the future Family Tree Maker will include that information on a CD-ROM which they will sell for profit to anyone who is interested. I do not like the idea of someone else using my hard researched information and ideas and selling them for a profit without my knowledge. This same practice is evident on all of the Family Tree Maker pages which are found on the internet, if you will read the disclaimer notices on those pages. I recommend the Family Tree Maker pages as good look up pages, but I don't recommend posting information there. Similar things can be said for Ancestry.com and MyFamily.com which are connected to each other and seek to make a profit from genealogical materials on the internet.
