Beloved Mother, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Cousin, Niece and Friend
Most of you don't know who I am, though you have seen my picture on this web site. I am Melissa, Sherry's eldest daughter.
As many of you know, my mom was diagnosed with Lung Cancer last year. She asked me that if anything ever happened to her, I tell all of you. I have come here to fulfill that wish, even though it's something I desperately hoped I would never have to do.
My mom died, after a long hard fight, May 5th, 2003 at 7:30 am.
My family and I would like to thank you for all your years of patronage and the joy you and this hobby gave her.
We love you mom and always will. My best friend always.
Melissa
Update: I will update the site a bit as per my stepdad's request. But it will be very occasional and only when he asks. I am not very good with html and it takes me a long time to do even the minor changes to the page that I made today. Melissa

Everyone has been so wonderful about the book, but we are unable and unwilling to offer or take any more orders for the book for the time being. I apologize to anyone who wishes to receive it and didn't get it in time. In the future, the book may be offered again if I or my stepdad decides to take up the responsibility. For this reason, I have removed the link. Melissa
"Wannamaker & Allied Families"
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting,
The soul that rises with us - our life's star
Has had elsewhere its setting
And cometh from afar.
Not in entire forgetfulness
And not in utter nakedness
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God who is our home.
HI! My name is Sherry Koshney Downard U.E. 'Welcome!'
I have been researching my family tree for nearly 40 years.
To see Valuable Genealogy Websites, Scroll Below Where There Are
Important Highlighted Links Throughout This Front Page. Warning! This
Website Is Very Large.
"The Old United Empire Loyalists List Appendix B" & The UEL
Registry... Now Open! See the link above United Empire Loyalists.
Updated March, 2002. About 17,000 people and about 6,000 surnames in the
Maternal Wannamaker Gedcom. With still more surnames in links to my
Pateral branches. Collateral lines may not be researched by me at this time.
There may be errors in some files, because no Genealogy
Research is fool proof. But I have done my best to be as accurate as
possible. I gladly take corrections from family members if anyone has
more information to submit to this very large family.
*Notice: I am in the process of removing several distant
collateral lines from my Gedcom over this year. The Gedcom will later
reflect only "Direct Decendant Branches" of Hengin Wanmecher b. 1450.
Other "Very Important" webpages at this website will have thousands of
surnames related to this family throughout.
Cemetery Inscriptions
There are thousands of names in the Index of full transcriptions.
Ramapo Lutheran Church Cemetery, Mahwah, Bergen County, NJ ~~ Long Lake
Cemetery, North Hastings County, Ontario ~~ Albury Cemetery, Ameliasburgh,
Prince Edward County, Ontario ~~ Child's and Herman United Cemeteries,
North Hastings county, Ontario. (There will be 6 more to open hopefully
before Christmas. 3 Carlow Twp. N. Hastings co. Ontario Cemeteries and
3 Renfrew county Ontario Cemeteries.) Because of the sheer volume of names in
these Cemeteries, they have a "Great Importance" to those researching
these areas. Good Luck!
John Wanamaker Merchant
Prince - Postmaster General
So many people have asked me over and over.....
What do you know about John Wanamaker?. The best way to explain
it is in a Webpage. Now you will have the chance to know this Very Famous
Man!. This page is Very Important to All Wanamaker/Wannamaker
Researchers. The information has been in my files for about 20 years,
realizing many years ago I wasn't closely related, so I haven't done any
research other than what you will find here.
This Is My Gift To You! Enjoy!
�"Rich Harvest"�
Across the vast horizon
A field of yellow wheat
That beckons enticingly
For the tread of your eager feet.
You cross the thistled hollow
Where the yellow daisies bloom
You reach the wheat's rich acreage
And your heart swells in a tune.
You pluck a large, round juicy head
And shell it in your hand
A priceless bunch of yellow gems
Our reward for tilling the land.
written by Lillian May Wannamaker age 18, 1944

I have always thought of my life as chapters in a book and as each
chapter closes, I have seen many changes in my personal life. Now that I
have reached a half century, I think about my life and I am so Greatful
and Thankful for all the things for which I have been Blessed. This
Wonderful World of ours, that we must Treasure each day, can be cruel.
But at the same time it is teaching us lessons that we all must learn
through happiness and sorrow. We can make a difference in this life, the
very best it can be to help make this truely A Wonderful World! There
will again be many changes in the future both in my personal life and
within these Webpages. Stay tuned as I strive to make this a bigger and
better Genealogical tool to better help the fasinating world of Family
Research.
Unfortunately I can Not Help Anyone Research Their Family because of time
limitations. Please refer to the many links available for help. If you
have a surname that I have and would like to enquire about it. Please be
sure to include important dates such as birth, death and marriage and
the locations of the people that you are reseaching. If there is a
connection I will reply to your mail with what information that I have.
If I do not, Good Luck with your research!
IN MEMORY
ROBIN DAWN HARRINGTON age 17 - SHANE RANDALL KOSHNEY age 16 -
RANDALL JAMES KOSHNEY - who all died in senseless car crashs. I
encourage everyone to read it and remember all the wonderful people who have
died needlessly. All further updates of my daughter's recovery will now be in the
link above as well as any updates concerning these car crashes.
Reckless driving is a very real problem in North America as well as
all over the world and needs to be addressed to help avoid others
being killed and survivers lives ruined because of mistakes in driving.

My mom's old e-mail is no longer valid. But because of the number of very annoying and highly illegal ad-mail and spam we were getting, I will not include a new e-mail for anyone to contact. Apparently some people don't understand that they shouldn't be sending that kind of thing to people's inboxes.
