All Hooper Researchers,

Bill Fisher is the host for this list and many others. He has never charged 
us any money and I think this is only the second time he has asked for a 
small contribution for his service since the list was started about 5 years 
ago. Please see the note from Bill below and make any donation you can.

Thanks

Contesting.com & eHam.net Users

 

I have been hosting the Contesting.com and eHam.net web sites and mailing 
lists on my network since 1996.  In the beginning, my company (Akorn Access) 
provided the hosting for free.  Since we started the eHam.net web site two 
years ago and began to accept advertising, eHam has been able to pay a small 
amount each month toward the hosting costs.  

 

Today, eHam.net and Contesting.com steadily consume more than a T-1 of 
bandwidth.  Combined, the two sites deliver well over 4 million pages and 
push more than 200 gigabytes of data each month.  The success of both sites 
and all of the mailing lists are demanding more and redundant bandwidth.   
However, we face the question of how to pay for it.  

 

The cost to host this level of bandwidth most anywhere else would exceed 
$2000 per month.  eHam is currently paying only $250.00 per month, which 
leaves Akorn Access out of pocket for at least $23,700 per year.  

 

In the past, I have been able to cover these costs because Akorn was doing 
well enough in other areas and the utilization was not as high.  With the 
recent slow down in the economy and our changing Internet access business, 
Akorn is unable to continue this level of support.  

 

Many potential advertisers are engrained in their print advertising, and 
refuse to acknowledge the Internet as a viable method of promoting their 
products.  We continue to sign up new advertisers, but not at the same rate 
as the bandwidth utilization.  

 

So, I?m reluctantly forced to turn to the users of both sites for ongoing 
assistance.

 

We have an annual subscription program at eHam.net for users to help pay for 
the site operations.  We don?t define the amount of the subscription, but 
rather suggest that each user define for themselves the site?s value, and 
consider their own financial ability to subscribe.    We suggest comparing 
how much time you spend reading QST or CQ magazines with how much time you 
spend reading eHam.net, Contesting.com, or the various mailing lists when 
making your decision.

 

You can help by subscribing at <A HREF="http://www.eham.net/cart/product/111">http://www.eham.net/cart/product/111</A>.  If you 
are unable to contribute by credit card, you can send a check to eHam.net, 
5095 Hamptons Club Drive, Alpharetta, GA  30004.  

 

 

Many thanks & 73

 

Bill Fisher, W4AN

Greetings friends and kin,

The Hooper DNA project continues grow day by day. The project is helping to 
untangle lines, unravel mysteries and provide new avenues for research.
We now have more than 40 participants with 30 results returned and posted. 
The posted results represent eight different Hooper lineages. Be sure and 
visit the results page at : <A HREF="http://www.hooperconnections.com/dnatable.html">http://www.hooperconnections.com/dnatable.html</A>
You'll notice that we have a new web address. Be sure and reset your 
bookmarks to the new main page at: <A HREF="http://www.hooperconnections.com">http://www.hooperconnections.com</A>
One of the recent people to sign up for the project is the first person we've 
found with solid genealogical ties to Europe. He traces his ancestry to 
Hoopers in Somersetshire, England. We're very excited about this development. 
We hope that others with ties to ancestral Hooper villages will volunteer to 
join our little group. Though the testing company we are using is in the 
United States, Hoopers from anywhere in the world are eagerly sought.
We have also set up a funding project. We hope to be able to pay the way for 
Hoopers from unrepresented or underrepresented lines for which no volunteer 
participants can be found. For more information visit the funding page at:
<A HREF="http://www.hooperconnections.com/fundingfrontpage.html">http://www.hooperconnections.com/fundingfrontpage.html</A>
The Hooper DNA project is now six months old. We've learned so much about our 
ancestors and ourselves. The months and years to come will be just as 
exciting. 
Take care,

Wade Glascock

Hi Wade,

I just looked at the updated DNA results and see that the James Hooper (1776) 
that married Jamima Bankson matched Obediah's line with a 12 count marker. I 
always thought he would have been from Absalom's family group since he was 
from Georgia. Since Obediah's children is well documented, could this be a 
collateral line from a brother of Obediah? That group should consider 
upgrading to the 24 marker test. What do you think Diane? 

Everyone,

I would also like to see someone from the Louisiana or Mississippi Hoopers 
come forward for testing. I thought that their Thomas Hooper ancestor was 
part of Absalom's group but I am not sure since James goes back to Obediah. 
Anyone on this list from the Louisiana Hoopers?

My ggg grandmother, Mary Ann Hooper, was born June 22, 1799, in Birmingham,
Warwick, England. She married Enoch Williams, and they came to USA, Niagara
County, New York, in 1842. Sketchy documents indicate her father was Edward
Hooper, of the city of Worcester, England, and was a Captain in the British
Navy, taken prisoner by the French in approximatley 1800. Any help in
further identification of these Hoopers is greatly appreciated.

Message-ID: <3E6A3D69.9080001@vonl.com>

I've waited to post anything on the mailing list until I had a real 
contribution. But our family has made a slight breakthrough on our 
family history search. Many know that families that migrated from Canada 
to America (especially NY) changed their names or had it changed by 
immigration workers upon their entry into the country. It turns out this 
is also true for our family. But what is unique is the family name. It 
turns out that our earliest family relative is Jacob and Josephine 
Hooper. Their name was changed from originally Houple. We've also been 
able, with this info, to link our family with two other Hooper families 
in upstate NY that we were keeping an eye on. We had suspicions that 
they were relatives and it proves we were right. But from all we've 
researched, we are more and more sure we have no direct relation to the 
Hooper families in Tenessee, Virginia or Georgia (or that area) and no 
relation to the signer of the D.O.I. William. I wonder if anyone else 
has heard of this name. I know it's legitimate because I've done 
searches and found a girl listed on a sports team in Utah with this last 
name. But internet searches don't provide much more. And we're going to 
check out church records. The family has been traced to Lachine, Quebec. 
But that's as far back as we go for now. I've got it fairly well listed 
on my family website at

http://web.netstartel.com/~cage47

Stop by and take a look. (No it's not just a shameless plug for my site, 
this really is big news for us and it might link other upstate NY 
families if we can find them. I know there are a few branches of our 
family tree that are not filled in yet)

difficult to know for sure from which line your William you seek descended, 
it is most likey, according to this book on pages 29-31, it appears to be

Message-ID: <85B14F72-619C-11D7-AB80-000393C2730A@nrgrecording.com>

For some who have questioned the Buckner/Straw relationships, I found 
this in the History of Shelby County, Vol 1:

"John W. Buckner was a resident of Tennneha District, which is now 
Shelby County,  In February 1836 where he signed a deed
for a tract of land in Matagora County.  He was a native of Caroline 
County, Virginia and his wife Elizabeth was a native of South Carolina. 
He participated in the battle of Goliad as a member of Albert Horton's 
Mounted Calvary.  He left a will which he made in Abrahma Robert's home 
in Shelby County dated June 6, 1837 leaving all his property to his 
wife Elizabeth.  They wee parents of the following children; Samuel 
Buckner born 1824, Thomas Buckner born 1827, Susan A. Buckner born 
1829, Elizabeth Buckner born 1833 and Francis Buckner born 1836. John 
W. Buckner died in the latter part of 1837 while on a trip to Matagorda 
County to attend to property inherited from his brother Aylett C. 
Buckner.  In the year 1838 Elizabeth,  his widow married Leonard W. 
Straw. He received a second class Land Grant in Shelby County of 640 
acres in October 1838. Straw was one of 30 people who signed the papers 
to create Shelby County out of the Tennaha District.  Straw Creek in 
Shelby County is named for him.  Leonard Straw and Elizabeth Buckner 
Straw with two small children are buried in Buckner Cemetery in Choice, 
Texas"- Newman Buckner, grandson of Nathan Buckner
