I had a call from Warren Reilly (age 102) in Mobile, today. He does not have a computer. He saw my story about the Family History Day this Sat. in the Mobile paper and asked for help with his family. Warren moved to Mobile in 1925. He is related to Rocheblav, Christopher and Edward Reilly and the John Gilmore families of Pensacola/Warrington. He particularly wants to know more about the Gilmores of Old Warrington. Some of his people are buried in the Old Warrington Cemetery at NAS, and some in the St. John's, Warrington, Cemetery. John Gilmore (b. c1798 in Ireland) and Margaret (wife). Their daughter Winifred Gilmore (b. c1832 in Ireland) married Edward Reilly/Riley (b. c1826 in Ireland). Edward Reilly/Riley was a grocer/merchant in Old Warrington in 1860-1870-1880. I can look up censuses and such, but I'm wondering if anyone on this list has personal knowledge of this Gilmore family.

-----Original Message----- From: selinva@aol.com Sent: Tuesday, March 29, 2011 18:08 ....... Subject: New Virginia Freedmen Bureau Records On Line Without fanfare the Family Search Beta site has released a set of records entitled Virginia, Freedmen’s Bureau Letters, 1865 - 1872. Attempting to respond to a query by someone on Afrigeneas.com, I tried to locate the document she had posted, which she had said was part of the Freedmen’s Bureau Letters 1865-1872. I googled that term and it took me to the Family Search Beta site. Although I found the record she cited with the person she mentioned, I was not sure where I was in the Bureau records, by last night I had figured it out….what Family Search had released was Record Group 105 of the Records of the Field Offices for the State of Virginia, Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, 1865-1872……… Indexed by Name and digital images, over 800, 000 images on 203 reels of microfilm. A Gold Mine for African American Researchers (and not just Virginia Researchers). It is incorrect to say that those who were enslaved are not in the records prior April 1865 and the end of the Civil War and the general emancipation, look at any county court record where “property” is listed wills, deeds, we are there…but those enslaved individuals do not speak for themselves….in these FB Records many of the people we seek “Speak for Themselves”... give their names, their children’s names, wives, go to court, make labor contracts, complain about their treatment as Free Men and Women, ask for transport back to their homes after they had run to Union held territory in VA to contraband camps, marry, take a census…too many other things for me to mention. In 1993 James Walker (http://www.aagsnc.org/articles/walker.htm), co-founder of AAHGS and Archivist at the National Archives had spoken to our AAHGS Chapter about the historical value and the immense wealth of information of these records and implored us to go and see them. A couple of months later I did have an opportunity to see some of them. They were not microfilmed and in their original state, I was overwhelmed. In the early 2000’s these records were microfilmed. Thank You Pearl Alice & Reginald Washington( http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gaaahgs/id107.htm ) for your efforts on that project. The VA records took 203 reels of microfilm to complete. In March 2007 Dr. Darrell Walden (http://news.richmond.edu/features/article/default/598/accounting-department-chair-its-no-longer-about-counting-beans.html) gave a presentation to our group (AAHGS-Hampton Roads VA) entitled “Whispers From the Dust – The Freedmen Records and African American Family History” . Dr. Walden had spoken to other AAHGS Chapters and other groups about an Extraction and Indexing Project of the names that appear in all of the 203 reels of VA records. Many of us were inspired to work on that effort. It was finally complete in 2008. It has taken awhile but it is finally On-Line. I know you all want to know how to get to the records but I did think that it is important that those people and there are many others, who understood the immense value of these records for family researchers, historians, be remembered and given credit. These documents not only tell the story of OUR participation in Virginia’s and the Nation’s history at a most crucial time period, but others as well, Freedmen Bureau officials, White Virginians and ALL who had contact with the Bureau, for whatever reason. I can’t promise you that everyone will find what they are looking, nor will it be easy to maneuver thru this site (I have been working on it all day) but it is an incredible resource. I strongly suggest that you look at the Descriptive Pamphlet which describes what is in this Record set and gives a general description of what is on each reel…this is a link to the Pamphlet at NARA: http://www.archives.gov/research/microfilm/m1913.pdf To Start the Search Go to Family Search Historical Collections: https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1&region=NORTH_AMERICA Scroll down to Virginia Freedmen’s Bureau Records and click or just click: https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=http://hr-search-api:8080/searchapi/search/collection/1596147 Put in a name, it will take you to each image where that name appears, (hopefully no one is looking for John Smith). You then click on the image. Yes, you have to read it…and the handwriting is not always good, and some images are faint…and maybe the names are not always spelled they way you think it should be spelled (like the census Spelling don’t count), or maybe we didn’t transcribe it the way you think we should have…but you are at home on your computer. So don’t complain. When you find someone, remember you are looking at an image without a context, you need to understand the context in which this record was generated, which is why I suggest you Read the descriptive pamphlet (those folks in my group..we passed out these pamphlets a couple of years ago..go find it) If you have the descriptive pamphlet…Read what is on the reel, that might be of interest. This is the link to the page with each reel . The numbers there DO NOT match the Reel Numbers, but there are 203 individual numbers there that reflect the 203 Reels. Example the last number is #4152459 which is Reel 203 https://www.familysearch.org/search/image/show#uri=https%3A//api.familysearch.org/records/collection/1596147/waypoints The Descriptive Pamphlet says somewhere on reel 203 is the following: Reel 203 – Census Returns of the Black Population of York County – the single volume of census returns of the black population of York County (VA) covers the Month of March 1865 There are 1,311 images on reel 203 the York County (VA) Census begins on image 208…to move to page 209 or move back to 207 click the arrow in the upper corner of the right hand side. https://www.familysearch.org/search/image/show#uri=https%3A//api.familysearch.org/records/pal%3A/MM9.1.i/dgs%3A004152459.004152459_00308 There is going to have to be some serious indexing on what is on each reel. Although there are 203 sets of numbers, they don’t exactly match the reel numbers. But this is a Wonderful Beginning. Good Luck and Good Hunting.

Yolanda, The Heritage Books were not WFGS productions, so I guess not. If you or someone would bring one folding chair, that would be good. That would be plenty of applications. No one has volunteered to bring any of the other things as yet. Have not heard from Bruce. I have to bring stuff for the Bauer lot where I will be stationed. They are supposed to have a table and 4 chairs for the WFGS station. Cynthia -------------------------- What do you think of "The Heritage of Escambia County, Florida Volume I and II? I had 50 copies of our application made; do you think we should have more? I will get all the extra copies of back issues of Newsletters. I have them at the Library. I will check with Lee to see if she has any extras. I can bring a folding chair or 4 if needed. Yolanda

Along with participants from NCPH who will wander through we will also have members of IMPACT 100 and the public at large. We expect a very nice day …. But i_f by chance it rains, come anyway -we are still on at the Museum of Industry (see address on flyer)_. I have attached the flyer for anyone who might not have gotten it. Students- know you will do a great job with your filmed interviews for the Pensacola News Journal series! Break a leg- just remember you still have to show up if you really do. Thanks so much!
