Subscribers to the Lists I maintain at RootsWeb: Below is a message from a friend of mine concerning Netscape Navigator 2.01. I apologize for "off-topic" posting, but I can sympathize with Ron, having tried to upgrade and having his original program "corrupted", as I have gone through the same thing myself many times over the years. If any of you are able to help, please don't reply to the Lists, just send him a private email to: [email protected] (I'm sure that if you have any version of 2.XX, Ron could use it.) Here is his message: *********************** Hi Folks, I would like to ask a really big favor..... I was trying to update to Netscape 3.0 and lost the 2.01. Would any of you have the Netscape 2.01 If you could .I would like for you to send me the file. I am using Chameleon and it doesn't compare to the Netscape. Let me know. ********************** Thanks, SgtGeorge

What you are looking for is the last column. The first numbers are the sizes of each Archive digest. Then the date and time of the Archive; then the Archive Number for that date. Note that some dates have more than one Archive. That is because there were so many messages for those dates that the file size would have exceeded the byte limit, or the number limit. Now for an example of how to retrieve the Archives for June 1, 1997. This date has two archives, Numbers 11 and 12. Send another message to [email protected] In the subject, type: Archive In the body, type: get volume97/11 volume97/12 NOTE: Type exactly as above. You will get back two messages, one for Archive Number 11, and one for Archive Number 12. You can also use a "wildcard" in the command in the body. Suppose you want the Archives numbered 10 through 19. You would type: get volume97/1? Then you would get back 10 individual messages, each containing an Archive with a different number. If you have difficulty, you might visit the RootsWeb site and study the instructions prepared by Listmaster Karen Isaacson. The URL is: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/members/archives.html (Thanks Karen!) I have experimented with this and have noticed that some of the earlier Archives are not formatted exactly properly. The later ones look exactly like the Digests you would receive if you were subscribed under the Digest Mode. Apparently, the archives of messages from the old MAISER Lists are not available. I know that they were transferred from MAISER to RootsWeb, but don't know if they will be made available later or not. If so, I will notify everyone. If you have ANY questions on retrieving Archives, just send me a private email. I'm always available for help. SgtGeorge mailto:[email protected] George W. Durman 925 Kevin Rd.

Alice, I rec'd the following message from Steve Broyles last fall: "It is likely that Ozey Robert Broyles, b. 1798, was the owner of young Robert. Ozey was the son of "Major" Aaron Broyles, a large landowner in Anderson Co. In the 1830 and 1840 censuses of that county , Aaron, Ozey and John T (another son of Aaron), owned between 10 and 33 slaves apiece..... If you have a web browser, connect it to: http://www.ultranet.com/~deeds/broyles/html/census/SCAnders.htm#1830 From there you can link to information on Aaron and his children. Aaron's estate sale in 1845 included the 33 slaves, possible including your Robert's ancestors. Records of this kind are found in the deed books, will books, and county records of Anderson Co." NOTE to Broyles Listserv: ....anyone else researching this part of the Broyles lineage?? -=[Wayne]=- "He who is being carried does not realize how far the town is." -- Nigerian proverb

Maybe it was too long. Anyway, here it is again. This is a news story concerning formation of a new internet genealogical socierty for the purpose of making thousands of .raw data and record available, FREE, on the internet. Would you be so kind as to run this story, or as much of it as you feel you can, on any lists that you own or control? Thank you By JOAN ROSE As one-stop shopping at the Mall has simplified buying habits, founders of a new national genealogical organization are hoping to do likewise with integrated research sites on the internet for American root tracers. Traditionally, American genealogists have had to rely on a paper trail in often distant libraries, musty courthouse basements and weed grown cemeteries to lead to their elusive ancestors. Only recently, in the last five years, have they turned to the Internet to find information that others have written into cyberspace for them. Internet resources have been multiplying rapidly in the past two years, but available information is often sketchy, always scattered and frequently without the documentation so dear to the earnest researcher�s heart. The United States Internet Genealogical Society in May was incorporated as a non-profit corporation under the laws of California with four major goals and lots of little ones. USIGS, as it will be known on the Net, not only will seek out, index and point to all kinds of research data for free public access online, but it will seek out funding grants and contributions to help defray the costs of puting it there. "The Internet will be the Genealogical Research Library of the 21st Century," believes James Streeter, USIGS president and a descendant of the Mayflower, who has been working on his family history for 35 years to include 6500 individuals in 50 generations. "USIGS brings a new concept to the genealogy community," he explained, inasmuch as "it is dedicated to provide FREE online access to records of interest to the entire genealogy community." To this end, USIGS will encourage volunteers, both individuals and groups, to transcribe their records to websites, it will correlate all such information now online and that which is to come, and it will raise funds to pay for costs incurred in such mammoth projects as eventually putting online U.S. Census records, a long-time dream of many internetters. USIGS is not unlike an international organization, IIGS, which came into being at the same time about two months ago, and with some overlapping founders. The two will not compete, but will complement each other and work together in some fields for the benefit of genealogists. USIGS, however, will concern itself with American records, primarily of the United States, while IIGS will be open for world-wide research. Unlike IIGS, USIGS has a tightly structured executive branch, including a 12-member board of directors, a staff of officers who will oversee all projects and fund-raising activities and appointed committees with definitely-delineated duties and missions. Besides Streeter, of Buena Park, Calif., newly-elected officers include: Tom Ward of Columbus, Kans., vice president; Linda Lewis of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., secretary; and Jerry E. Dill of Emmett, Idaho, treasurer. Board members are Don E. Dale of Kansas, David M. Leininger of Mahomet, Ill., and Billie McNamara of Knoxville, Tenn. , who are now holding one year terms; Donald L. Spidell of Safford, Ariz., Ken Hollingsworth of Redlands, Calif., John Rigdon of South Carolina, and Larry V. Stephens of Bloomington, Ind. , now holding two year terms; and Nancy Trice of Hopkins County, KY, Pat Smith of Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, and John G. West of Evansville, Ind., who are now holding three year terms. Vacancies are now being filled by appointment as worthy Web Genealogists volunteer for membership. USIGS has set up a web site at: http://www.dsenter.com/usigs/ and is providing ongoing membership information to those who subscribe to its members list. Committees already formed and chairmen are listed. ?volunteers are needed to assist in all of them and in the various projects that are in process of getting started. At this time membership is free, and all interested are encouraged to sign on at the USIGS home page. Members will be asked to volunteer time, talents, expertise and ideas as needed and to spread the word to their local organizations and other online sites to assist USIGS in getting up and running. One of its main functions is to solicit grants from corporate sponsorship and other sources and through tax-deductible contributions. Streeter has indicated that "announcement of a major source of funding may be expected soon." Any funds received will be distributed to individuals or organizations for specific projects. No priority list has been set up to receive first funds available, but one major project identified by organizers has been the Census Project, beginning perhaps with that of 1850, to put the entire census data, state by state and county by county, on line. Streeter emphasized that all records funded by USIGS will be available on line free to anyone with internet access. USIGS was not set up to make money, he stressed, but to find money to further transcription and preservation of genealogical data at internet sites. USIGS does not plan to duplicate work already in progress by other online groups, such as the USGenWeb project, he noted, but to coordinate that work to make such data readily accessible. Streeter and other officers and directors are associated with one or more of these other organizations in top management and/or working positions. Work will depend largely on local volunteers who will be able to access various physical locations, transcribe or scan records and create a site online to store and maintain it. As envisioned, this is a program that will take many years to bring to fruition, and probably never will be completed. But as more and more research sources are transferred to the internet, more and more family tree tracers will be able to pursue their hobby at home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ \ unsubscribe stop e-mailing me ----------

We have started the two new Lists: SURNAME-QUERY-L and RESEARCH-HOWTO-L Subscribing is the same as for other RootsWeb Lists. Here are brief descriptions for each List: RESEARCH-HOWTO-L: This List is for use by those who are just getting started in genealogy research, AND for those who are not novices, but have an actual need for information on where to go when "dead ends" are encountered. This List will deal with such things as courts' records, other official documents, ships' logs, Genealogy Societies, on-line databases, Web Pages, Lists (RootsWeb and others), Historical Societies, Libraries dedicated to genealogy (such as the McClung Library in Knoxville, TN), Locations of LDS Genealogy Centers, and any other subject(s) that arise in the discussion of Genealogy Tips, Tricks, Methods, Techniques, etc. SURNAME-QUERY-L: This List is a place for users to send queries on specific surname searches. Where a List already exists for a surname a user sends in, subscribers will let the user know the name of the List, how to subscribe, etc. For surnames for which a List doesn't exist, we will encourage all subscribers to help out if they have pertinent information. If it appears that there are sufficient posts for a particular surname, after a period of time, and that a new List is justified, we will attempt to have some user start and maintain a new surname List. If no one volunteers and we still think a new List is needed, one of the hundreds of "old timers" I am in touch with will request that RootsWeb allow the new List, and will maintain it. (The cost for a new SURNAME List will (hopefully) be bourne by users who are researching that particular name.} I am in contact with many "old timers", who have stated a willingness to assist on both these Lists. We welcome ANYONE who is willing to help us out and share experience, knowledge, or expertise. It is recognized that the number of Net/Web users doing genealogical research has multiplied many-fold in the past year, and that some of them just don't know where to go to find information. It is our aim to provide a "sounding board" for all genealogy researchers to make it easier to dig out information or data from those obscure places that some "old timer" researchers know about. SURNAME-QUERY-L is a List for doing specific research, while RESEARCH-HOWTO-L is a List for finding out HOW and WHERE to conduct research. We welcome all of you to participate, to send in your questions, to provide help when possible, but most of all to have fun with your genealogy research. If you join us, PLEASE read ALL of the Welcome Message, especially the latter part, where the RULES are found. I, as Listowner, do not intend to provide all answers to questions posted to either List. There will be other subscribers who will, hopefully, provide most of the help. My main task right now is to get these Lists up and running and providing a service to the genealogy research community.

Afrigeneas, Does anyone online have this book? 277.A5A43 1994 Alexander, V. W. Pendleton District and Anderson County, S.C., Wills, Estates, Inventories, Tax Returns, and Census Records peace.... -=[Wayne]=- "If you have done your best, what else is there?

Parting the veils of slavery is very difficult when doing African American genealogy research. But, if persistence will count for anything...then I plan on being persistent. I have a great-grandfather named Robert BROYLES who was born abt August 1825 in South Carolina. I figured that I would share what I have in my FTM 'notes' on him. Any suggestions or theories on how I can learn about his parents would be appreciated..... What is the connection with Robert Broyles to a slaveowner in SC Anderson County? "The 1800 Census of Pendleton District, South Carolina" by Stewart shows that Aaron Broyles had slaves on his property . Census shows him with seven white people, one other free person, and three slaves. It's likely that he lived on Rocky River. Interesting to note that Samuel Brown, who never had slaves, lived about 12 names away on this census. In 1810, a man named Aaron Broyles is shown as having 11 whites on his land and nine slaves. Pendleton County later became Anderson County. Not sure if these two Aaron Broyles listings are the same person. Right next to him is Cain Broyles with two whites and one slave. Twenty names away is Reuben Broyles (no slaves) and 24 names away is James Brown with five whites and one slave. [SOURCE: David Goodwin, [email protected]] He is listed in the 1870 SC Census as living in Broadway Township in Anderson County. Nine of his children are living at home during the 1870 Census (Adaline, 15; Julia A., 14; Paul, 13; Zacariah, 11; Samuel, 10; Anna, 8; Major, 6; Robert, 4; Ida, 1). He is listed in the 1880 SC Census living in Broadaway Township in Anderson County. His household consists of wife Malinda, 45 and the following children: Julia, 23; Enoch, 21; Zackriah, 19; Samuel, 16; Anna , 14; Major, 12; Robert, 10; Tallie, 8 [misclassified as a daughter]; Ida, 6; Doctor, 4; Ellah, 3; Minta, 2; Moses, 1]. This census also shows that Robert's parents were born in Virginia. He is listed in the 1900 AR Census living in Faulkner County with the Collins family. He is shown as being a 'father-in-law'. His birthdate is two years different than the 1880 Census (now shown as Aug'1827). -=[Wayne]=- "If you have done your best, what else is there?

Hello Wayne, The Southern Historical Press (Phone # 864-233-2349) Greenville SC publishes a book titled "Anderson County South Carolina, The Tradition of". by Louise Ayer Vandiver. Among the many families included in the book are: Acer, Anderson, Benson, BROWN, BROYLES, Byrum, Burris, etc. I have had the book on order for the past eight weeks, sure hope it arrives soon! The information shown above was taken from the 1997 Catalog I received from the Southern Historical Press. you can call them and request a catalog. The book should be available at your library or the LDS Family History Library in your area. I am also researching the Anderson and Greenville counties of South Carolina for the following Surnames: ANDERSON, MARSHALL, RUTLEDGE, SIMMONS, & WILLIAMS. Good hunting. Ray Marshall -=[Wayne]=- "Success is the distance between ones' origins and one's final achievements."

From: Alice Ellingsberg \ PRODIGY: (CHCF07A) To: Wayne Hicks \ PRODIGY: (DPSK27A) Dear Wayne, Ok, let's give this another shot. About the theory....I will be most interested to hear the comments and thoughts of the others you sent the post to. Both negative and positive, of course. I can take a little constructive criticism. :-) Alrighty then. We know that there was a Broyles family in Anderson Co. SC and we have placed Edney Broyles there until her death in 1843. We have two dates of birth for her, Family Pedigrees gives her date of birth as 18 January 1801; The other source, "Book of the Dead, An Alphabetical Arrangement of the Dead, buried in Cemeteries of Anderson County, South Carolina" gives her date of birth as 6 January 1807. I would probably put more credence in the 'Book of the Dead'...but I am a big believer in citing sources. Edney married on 29 Aprils 1824 and died on 23 February 1843. Her husband was Dr. George Reese Brown. (source: Book of the Dead, p. 50) According to Family Pedigrees, her Father was: Aaron Broyles: Aaron is also buried in the same cemetery as his daughter Edney (Edna). He was Major Aaron Broyles....maybe War of 1812? He was born on 6 May 1767 and he died on 5 October 1815, in Anderson County, South Carolina. His wife was Frances Reed. She was born 8 December 1769 and she died on 7 September 1811 in Anderson Co., SC. (source: Book of the Dead, p. 50) You will notice that Edna/Edney was a young child when her parents died. What we should attempt to get here is the entire probate packet. Will, estate inventory, disposition of estate and orphan's court records. This will give us a listing of his property, including slaves - it will also tell us who took guardianship of Edna, and who controlled her estate. We will also want to take a look at the 1850 and 1850 slave schedules for Anderson Co. to see if there were still Broyles there who owned slaves, or if they ultimately went to Edna and Dr. George. Aaron's Father was: Adam Broyles: His will was dated on 19 April 1782 and proven in court in May 1782, Jonesboro, Washington Co., Tennessee. Adam names his children in his will. There were Moses, AARON, Joshua, Milla Parther, Mima (Jemima, who married Joseph Brown, Jr.) , Mary, and Ann Brown. Adam left the balance of his estate, Negroes, and Kentucky land to be equally divided among his children. I wonder if Edna and the slaves didn't go to TN to live with one of her Uncles or Aunts...and is that where she met and married Dr. Brown..that's why we really need that probate packet. It will answer many questions. According to the DAR Patriot Index, Adam was born about 1730 in Virginia. He married Mary Wilhite and died in Tennessee in May of 1782. Adam and many of his brothers were credited with patriotic service from the state of Virginia . This places them still in Virginia during the Revolutionary war. I will order a copy of the DAR application paper to see what they cite as sources. I would also like to see a copy of this estate inventory and disposition of estate. It could have slave listing and tell us who went to which child.... Adam was the son of : Jacob Broyles: His will dated 3 November 1761, he died on 10 May, 1763. (source: Will Book A, p. 284 Culpepper County Court House, Culpepper Co., VA) Jacob names his wife, Catherine and children: Matthias, Peter, Michael, John, Zachrias, Mary, ADAM, Nicholas, Cyrus, Jacob, Catherine Wayland, and Elizabeth Wilhite. ADAM was the executor of Jacob's estate. So, there you go....the preponderance of proof for my theory....and where I would recommend you go with it. I will order the census records . One of us should write for the probate packets....you or me? I can do it on Monday morning - or if you want to do it, that's fine, too. Up to you. Well, Wayne....guess that's enough thinkin' for one day...I am hoping I will actually get this sent this time....if I get kicked off one more time, I will phone you for sure. I am NOT typing this thing one more time....... So, hope you find this at least interesting. Remember, I do want to hear what others think in response to your post... TTYL Alice P.S. One more thing.....we have no evidence that Aaron Broyles was even in TN with his Father....he could have gone directly to Anderson County on his own. We need to do a little playing with the census indexes to see where he was IN 1790 and 1800. I think I have that index on CD.... I'll check. Ok.... I'm done now.

All, I'm researching African American lineage of the BROYLES surname. Much of my study has been in SC Anderson County. A fellow 'rooter had the following theory that she shared with me a few months ago. I figured I would share it here to see what the folks on the Afrigeneas & BROYLES listserv think.... Johan Proyol (aka John Broyles was born abt 1680 in Germany. He imigrated to the colonies after 1727. He died in VA Spotsylvania Co. His son,, Jacob A. Broyles died in May 1763 in VA Culpepper Co. Jacob had sons, Adam, Matt, and Jacob. One of these brothers had a son named Aaron. Aaron moved to South Carolina. In SC Pendleton Co he fathered a daughter named Edney...born 1/18/1801. She married George Reese Brown on 4/29/1824 and she died in SC Anderson Co on 2/23/1843. 1. Was Aaron Broyles a slave owner in SC Anderson County? 2. How can I find the BROYLES slave owners in SC Anderson County? It seems that many of the Broyles girls married into the Brown family. I ask all of this because I found a Mary BROYLES living in SC Anderson Co who was appropriate age to be the mother of my Robert BROYLES. Mary was shown as being born in Virginia. 3. Was Mary BROYLES a slave from VA Culpepper County?? If so, perhaps she came to South Carolina with one of the Broyles boys.. .. Sheesh, Mary could have been property of the Broyles...or even of the Browns. The veil of slavery makes it difficult to do this family history reseach. But the search continues.... -=[Wayne]=- "Help a brother, help another" -- Wendel (1997)

Robert (b.Aug 1827) & Malinda (abt 1833) BROYLES had fifteen (15) children as a result of their union. I discovered Robert/Malinda BROYLES in SC Anderson County [Greenville, SC]. At some point both of them moved to AR Faulkner County. Their fifteen children are: Adaline (b. abt 1855) Julia (b. abt 1856) Enoch (b. abt 1859) Paul (b. July 1860) Zackriah (b. abt 1861) Samuel (b. abt 1864) Anna (b. abt 1866) Major (b. abt 1868) Robert (b. abt 1870) Talley (b. 1/2/1871; d.3/3/1938) Ida (b. abt 1874) Lillie Ella (b. 4/5/1876; d.10/23/1972) Doctor (b. abt 1876) Minta (b. abt 1878) Moses (b.abt 1879; d. 1/19/1901) A fellow 'rooter shared with me a copy of the 1900 AR Census which shows Robert living within the household of his daughter Lillie Ella. Lillie Ella was married to Sam Collins. A review of the AR Faulkner County Cemetery Census shows that Lillie Ella COLLINS is buried at the Palarm Chapel Cemetery in Conway, AR. That is where I discovered her birth/death dates. That same 1900 Census showed she had a son born in May 1900 (unnamed at the time of the census, which was taken in June 1900). Paul BROYLES shows up in the 1900 AR Census married to a woman named Alice. They have a 14-year old son named Grover. No further information uncovered yet. Enoch BROYLES married an Alice MATTISON. I found them in the 1920 AR Faulkner Co Census. Enoch was a driller. They had seven people living in the household, although the census was difficult to read so I don't know much about these folks. Do any of the other BROYLES children listed above strike a familiar chord with any of you? Any suggestions on where I should take my research next? -=[Wayne]=- "Help a brother, help another" -- Wendel (1997)

All, My search continues for my roots. Two strands of information came together for me this weekend. I'd like your thoughts/advice. First, I had the following information about Enoch & Alice BROYLES: Enoch is listed as head of household in 1920 AR Faulkner Co Census. The handwriting is very difficult to read. I have photocopy available in my files. His occupation is listed as 'driller'. In doing research on the MATTISON lineage, I learned from Florence Hines Mattison that Alice Mattison was married to a 'well driller'. Cozette Mack informed me that Alice's husband's name was Enoch Broyles. In reviewing the 1920 AR Faulkner Co Census it is evident that these two Enoch Broyles are the same person. The occupation for Enoch listed in the 1920 census is "driller". The census confirms that Enoch and his wife were both born in South Carolina, as were their parents. In 1920, Enoch is listed as being 60 years old, while his wife is 54 years old. This matches with the birth year information given to me by Cozette Mack. [SOURCE: 1920 AR Faulkner Co Census; Florence Hines Mattison; Cozette Mack] There were at least seven people living in the Enoch/Alice Broyles household in 1920 according to the census. Their son (name undecipherable) is listed as at 34 year old blacksmith. Their daughter -in-law, Inez, is 33-year old mulatto woman with no occupation. Enoch/Alice's 7-year old granddaughter (name difficult to read) and both grandsons are listed in the census as well. The 4-year old grandson's name is illegible. However, it appears that the 1 year-old son is named Robert E. Broyles. [SOURCE: 1920 AR Faulkner Co Census]. At this point I went to the Social Security Death Index and searched for Robert or Inez Broyles and came across the following..... Inez Broyles b. 1/15/1886 MI d. Aug 1976 MI Residential Zip 48235 (Detroit) SS# 370-68-5922 Hugh Broyles [possibly her husband??] b. 8/21/1885 MI d. 5/9/1988 MI Residential Zip 48235 SS# 372-34-6093 Robert Broyles b. 4/24/1918 AR d. June 1984 MI Residential Zip 48235 SS# 372-34-6093 I 'spose that my next step is to order the death certificates from Michigan on both Robert & Inez. Any other thoughts, ideas, or suggestions from my fellow 'rooters on Afrigeneas?? -=[Wayne]=- "Always remember that your own resolution to succeed is more important than anything else." --- Abraham Lincoln ------- FORWARD, End of original message -------

There seems to be another round of "virus warnings" about to start on the Net. It concerns a supposed warning from AOL about receiving mail with the subject: "Returned or Unable to Deliver". This is a hoax. DO NOT post messages on this List about this subject. As a matter of fact, here is a restatement of the rules for this List, concerning similar subjects: "Do not post virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, etc., to this List." For information on virus hoaxes and urban legends see: http://www.kumite.com/myths/ or http://ciac.llnl.gov/ (Both these sites give the lowdown on all Viruii, Trojans, Hoaxes, Urban Legends, etc.) An Urban Legend is one of those stories where you are asked to send email to so-and-so, and then some company will do so-and-so for some poor unfortunate child. Such a message often mentions breaking a record in "The Guiness Book of Records". These are 99% hoaxes, and even if true, do not need to be posted here on this genealogy List.

This is for a neighbor-lady of my mother's who has recently found a few relatives (her mother was alienated from the rest of the family) who gave her some old genealogy stuff. The following marriage and child was included. If anyone knows more that I can pass on she would be most greatful. ELIZA C. BROYLES m. S. I. N. NEWBERRY son: HENRY CLAY NEWBERRY b. 9 oct. 1879, d. 28 Oct. 1955 I am sorry there is so little, but this is all that she had. Thanks, Liz [email protected]
