Dear Cousins, Here is a wonderful example of Kinship research -- a page set up on the Revolutionary War service of Private George Hardwick of Virginia, by Shirley Hornbeck. Shirley states that George Hardwick's pension application might be of interest to many, even though he is not in their lineage. (He's not in her's either.) She's absolutely right, of course. A page like this absolutely demonstrates the value of examining history and genealogy through a Kinship/locality concept. In reading this pension document, you learn about what our own ancestor's lives were like, and also, you will see some names and localities dear to all of us, and perhaps come to an increased awareness of them. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~hornbeck/elro/ghardwic.htm Love, Your Cousin, Carolyn Carolyn McDaniel cmacdee@teleport.com ========================================= To subscribe to the American Crossroads Discussion List: Send a message to: AMXROADS-L-request@rootsweb.com with the single word subscribe in the body of the message --- Visit American Crossroads --- http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~amxroads
