    1. [Catawba-West] Gotta question ...
    2. Since Estate Law has always varied from state to state, is there anyone there qualified to answer a question about NC Probate Law from the late 1700's to the early 1800's??? The question I have is long and complicated, so I won't bother the entire list with it. So, if there's a lawyer out there, email me direct. Thanks, Mike

    1. [Catawba-West] RE: Sarah Fisher, descecdant of Stephen Fisher from Germany?
    2. Rosemary Moore
    3. Hello All, I am attempting to root out the ancestors of Sarah 'Sally' Fisher, b. 1811 NC, (possibly), m. 1837 Linc. Co NC, John Richard Stiles. She died 1898 and is buried at Concord Me. Ch, Cat Co., NC. There are many other Fishers buried there and I have not been able to connect the dots. I believe she descends from Stephen Fisher who supposedly came to Lincoln Co. in the 18th Cent and had 11 children. I have compiled many Fisher census records, and suspect some of the children could be among the following; Reuben, Rufus, Samuel, Joseph, David, Uriah, Benjamin, Richard, Ezekiel, John, William, Susanna, Saloma, Anna, and possibly my Sarah. Can anyone point me to a source or share information on this family? I would appreciate any help or leads. Thanks, Rosemary Moore

Monday I found the fllowing obituary in the Charlotte Observer of August 1, 1922: J.A.

    1. [Catawba-West] Seabach/Lagle
    2. J. D. Lail
    3. In a 1803 Catherine Lagle gave birth to a child out of wedlock by a Jacob Seabach in either Lincoln or Burke Co,'s. If there is someone out there familiar with this case I need some help because we have misplaced what few records we ever had on the matter. We are especially interested in knowing what names were given to the child. Also of interest is whether this child was given to the family of the father to raise or possibl taken out of state when Catherine's father left the state for the west in 1807. It is our belief that Catherine went west with the rest of the family but our "proof" of that is rather lacking. Don Lail

    1. [Catawba-West] The Heart of Confederate Appalachia: Western North Carolina in the Civil War
    2. Derick S. Hartshorn
    3. PRESS RELEASE In April 2000 the University of North Carolina Press will publish a book entitled "The Heart of Confederate Appalachia: Western North Carolina in the Civil War," by John C. Inscoe and Gordon B. McKinney (both professors of history). Advance notice says that the book is 480 pages, and costs $39.95 (cloth). ISBN:0-8078-2544-1. "From the valleys of the French Broad and Catawba Rivers to the peaks of the Blue Ridge and Great Smoky Mountains, the people of Western North Carolina responded to the war in dramatically different ways. Men and women, masters and slaves, planters and yeomen, soldiers and civilians, Confederates and Unionists, bushwhackers and home guardsmen, Democrats and Whigs--all their stories are told here," says the flier from the UNC Press. I have not seen the book yet myself, but it might be some of you would like to read or have your local library order it. I am not in any way connected to UNC. I do not know whether it will be also issued in paperback form.

    3. Donna and listers, Although I have never been to Lake Norman, I recall some correspondence with another who was there. I was told they stopped a LATTA PLANTATION PARK and the curator suggested to them that they write to the Duke Power Company, Charlotte, NC and ask for a list of the churches and cemeteries and any reinterments from the area prior to Lake Norman being filled.

    2. Donna Johnson
    3. The construction of the dams that created Lake Norman and Mountain Island Lake resulted in much land along the Catawba River being covered with water. Does anyone know whether surveys or resources exist which might describe cemeteries that were relocated or stones that were relocated? I've heard a story of old tombstones being found under the front porch of a home along the river - having been moved there when the waters began to rise. I have heard talk of an Abernethy family cemetery that was in the basin created by one of the lakes. Donna J.

    1. [Catawba-West] GOOD NEWS! for subscribers to this list
    2. Derick S. Hartshorn
    3. GOOD NEWS!!!! You asked for it -- here it is! In fact, it took me by surprise. At least I can report on an added benefit of the system your NCGenWeb now has. I have already added a search engine to the page, hoping that folks could search the entire site for added, accessable archives and photos of donated material that is subject to the non-infringement understanding that genealogists share. GenConnect boards can now be "gatewayed" to mailing lists. When a board is gatewayed to a mailing list, every message posted to the GenConnect board will be forwarded to the corresponding mailing list. The message sent to the list will contain the URL of the specific post to allow the list subscribers to respond directly to the message. In this manner, gatewaying will enable more effective communication between the mailing lists and the GenConnect boards. This will be automatic for you. My job will be to forward these to the list as I am the only person they will initially be coming to. Added work, yes, but worth the time ten-fold in the number of people that are allowed access to fresh leads---and scholarly information---good to file away for future need. So sit there and watch.....new messages from the GenConnect board will be forwarded with the prefix: [GenConnect] so you can distinguish them better. If you want to delete, fine, but with the very slight increase in messages received, I feel this will be a great way to find something you might have otherwise missed. Catawba Co. now has 1,100 queries and responses, Burke has 1,510, the HARTSHORN page, a mere 27 (take advantage, guys!) If you like it, great. If you have any problems, let me know. I am just pleased that so many unpaid volunteers have made a project of this magnitude possible through the grunt work done by the State and Project folks being assisted in a time of need by RootsWeb, who has been the anchor on which our ship relies on for a great deal of sharing goals: FREE INFORMATION !!!
