Miscellaneous The Inbox.. Keeney Update & Wagon Ruts West |
Hello Everyone,
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
As all members of this newsletter should know keeney.net is lost in cyberspace, this is due to the hosting company I was using not canceling another site I used to run (for my dad) and continuing to charge me for services not supplied. So I started this new site with another host and it has some advantages over the other host, for one there is no space limit, and another, I can now supply anyone with a web based e-mail account for a very low fee, so you can have yourname@keeneyklan.com if you are interested for $1 a year (price subject to drop depending on the interest shown) all monies will go toward the support of the site, I will set up the account for you and e-mail you a password which you can change once you log in to the account.
Anyway with the loss of the former site and getting this one going I have not had time to do either another Keeney Update or a Wagon Ruts West section this time around, and to top it all off I have finally found an apartment, and will be moving into it 01 December, & I maybe off line for a few days, but never fear I shall be back ASAP.
On another note the brick-wall on my mothers side of the family (we knew almost nothing for several years) has finally started to come down, it turns out she was married before she met my dad, (she said this was her first marriage). Anyway it turns out that we have a half sister that we never knew about, and have been in contact with her and one of the second cousins (who happens to be the family genealogist)

A DNA Surname Project is underway for the surname Keeney, Kinney, and variations. This is
the beginning of a long-term project to develop a DNA database for all researchers
interested in these surnames and their variations.
DNA surname projects test the Y chromosome of males. The Y chromosome remains relatively
unchanged for hundreds of years as it passes from father to son. By comparing your test
results (a series of numbers) with others in the project, you can determine with a high
degree of probability if you share a common ancestor (but not who that ancestor is). For
example, testing could reveal if the New England Keeney lines are related to the Virginia
Keeney lines. Testing can also link American, Irish, and UK lines.
The cost is $99 or $169 (plus $2) depending on which test you choose. This is a special
group rate; the project administrator is a volunteer and receives no money. You take the
sample at home and return it to the company. It is not a blood test, not a paternity test,
does not uniquely identify you, and reveals nothing about health matters. Female Keeney
researchers can participate by submitting DNA from a family member (females do not have a
Y chromosome).
Genetic genealogy is a new, fascinating, and complicated subject. If you are interested in
learning more, start with the Frequently Asked Questions link at the below site. If you
have additional questions or are interested in participating now, email the project
administrator.

1892 Will of Huldah Keeney of Manchester, CT

I have just transcribed and posted a copy of the 1892 will of Huldah Keeney of Manchester,
CT. Huldah is the daughter of Russel Keeney and Jeruscha Dart. She references many
Keeneys, many of whom are by this date scattered westward from the east. If you can tie
any of the references back I would be grateful for the info. Thanks.

THANKSGIVING
Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I
just couldn't sleep,
So I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned - the dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation with all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation,
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door,
And gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore.
Pickles and carrots, beans and
tomatoes.
I felt myself swelling so plump and so round,
'Til all of a sudden, I rose off the ground.
I crashed through the ceiling,
floating into the sky,
With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie.
But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees....
Happy eating to all, pass the cranberries, please.
May your stuffing be tasty,
your turkey be plump.
Your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump.
May your yams be delicious, your pies take the prize.
May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs!
