Do You Have Famous Ancestors?
Do you have famous ancestors? Diane and I would love for you to share your information with this group. To make this easier we are suspending the rule of only discussing members of your direct line. If you are a Smith but your famous ancestor is a Jones that is OK for this discussion. We want you to feel free to join in and let us all enjoy some interesting stories. Who will be first? Jim and Diane

Baccus (Peter, 1770s, PA,) to Michael (early 1800s, OH)
Hello, All, I am a descendent of Peter and Sarah Baccus and have compiled my information into a PDF which I have attached. Peter and Sarah Baccus settled in western Pennsylvania before the Revolutionary War; Peter’s daughter-in-law, Catherine Franks Baccus and her children moved to Scioto County, Ohio ~1805. I hope this information will be useful to you. I would appreciate any further information you have on this family.

Saying Thanks To Our Front-Line Workers
First of all, To all of you who are involved in the "front lines" of this corona virus war - Thank You for all you are doing. Without you we would be in dire straits. Secondly, Diane and I thought it would be a good thing to share what is happening in your locations as far as showing appreciation to everyone involved in fighting the spread of this horrendous pandemic that has plagued the world. Please feel free to share what your community is doing in that regard. We have all seen the firefighters gathered to applaud the health workers. Diane says that she and her neighbors stand outside their doors and clap for the health workers. She suggests singing (to the tune of "Happy Birthday") the following: Thank you very much, Thank you very much, Thank you front line workers, Thank you very much. What ideas do you have? What have you witnessed in your communities? We are together in this and shall come out of it stronger. Jim "Pops" Jackson and Diane Sowden

Welcome to the Baccus Group
Welcome to /g/Baccus, our new Rootsweb replacement. This is an exciting time with a very impressive website and the opportunity to rekindle our communications and, perhaps, revive research that has been set aside for a time. Diane and I want to encourage you to make use of this group with your questions and whatever answers you may have for others' queries. To begin with, introductions are encouraged, including some history about yourself etc. Most importantly, we want you to enjoy your new home. If you have Facebook, Twitter or other connections where you may spread the word about us, please feel free to do so. Just direct them to the above address. Looking forward to hearing from you all, Jim "Pops" Jackson and Diane Sowden
