Stolen Identities and Genealogy This was sent thru one of my "help" list "One of my friends attended a fraud presentation by our FRAUD department at ***** Recently this friend was a victim of identity theft. While she was in this presentation, the instructor told her about a web site criminals use to obtain information about you. The website is www.anybirthday.com This web site has your name, zip code and birthday. Your birth date is a helpful tool for criminals to steal your identity. I pulled up my name and it had my full name, correct birth date, gender and zip code. I was able to delete this information from the website by clicking on the FAQ section, then click on the privacy section. I recommend that you go to this site and DELETE your information from their data base. Remember to check ALL versions of your name .. Check your nickname, maiden and your given name.

I have just found a great site. One can spend a lot of time playing around on it. Unfortunately, when you click onto several things, you will end up at Ancestory.com, but do not give up. There are a lot of other good things there. On the first page, if you go down about half way on the left, you will see AL marriages before 1825. It looks as if they are going to have a great Native American site, but it is just in the beginning stage. The site is www.censusdiggins.com Good hunting! Marlene

I wonder if the M could stand for Mason ( a family the Winfields intermarried into frequently). The Winfields were generally though not exclusively well to do slave owning families. They also intermarried with Vaughns though that is a fairly common name.

[this is not my family, hope it may help someone] In Gainesville, Ala., on May 21 occurred the death of EDWARD N. KRING, who went from the State of New York to Sumter Co., Ala., in 1860 as a young mechanic. When the war came on, he volunteered in Co. A, 5th Alabama Battalion, one of the first companies to leave the State and he served faithfully throughout the war in the Virginia Army. After the surrender at Appomattox, he returned to Sumter Co. married MISS BETTIE GRAY LITTLE, and made his home in the town of Gainesville, where he was known as an upright citizen and loyal church member, a zealous Mason, and faithful to the memory of the cause for which he had fought.

Yes, I am new to the list. I am researching the Quarles Family and Halsey family of Sumter County. My dad, Oliver Quarles born 1896, his dad Oliver born abt. 1850, married to Elvira, I am not sure of the last name. My Mom Lillie Halsey born 1901, daughter of George & Amanda (not sure of her maiden name). Found Amanda on the 1920 census. Are you in this family?

I don't know if there's any connection, but I did have an uncle by marriage, named cortice Daniel, born abt. 1894, married Elvira Quarles abt. 1917 ? Bp123123@aol.com
