Suggestion from another mailing list: A friend types this on a 3x5 card then puts her name, relationship, snail-mail address and e-mail address on the back, then laminates it, punches a hole in it and ties it to a single stem artificial flower and puts it on her ancestor's graves when she is visiting cemeteries whether those close by or in different states. That way the next person who might be researching may get in touch with her. Dear Ancestor: Your tombstone stands among the rest; Neglected and alone The name and date are chiseled out On polished, marbled stone. It reaches out to all who care It is too late to mourn. You did not know that I exist You died and I was born. Yet each of us are cells of you In flesh, in blood, in bone. Our blood contracts and beats a pulse Entirely not our own. Dear Ancestor, the place you filled So many years ago Spreads out among the ones you left Who would have loved you so. I wonder if you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew That someday I would find this spot, And come to visit you. Virginia

Posted on: Baldwin Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Baldwin/148 Surname: WILSON, NESMITH, WOODALL, VEST, CROSBY ------------------------- Seeking contact with anyone connected to the above families. The Morgan County, AL 1870 census says that my great grandfather, Abraham or Abram Wilson, was born in unknown county of GA abt. 1852. He is shown as 18 yrs. old and living in home of a Mary Woodall, age 33, born SC. This is the only written record I can find for Abe. The Woodall and Vest families were living in Milledgeville, GA in the 1800's and they are connected to my Wilson family. Perhaps Baldwin county might be the birth place for Abram? A family by the name of Crosby may also be connected. Can anyone help?

Posted on: Baldwin Co. Ga Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Baldwin/146 Surname: ------------------------- I do not know where he is buried, but believe Dooly County. When I was about 10 yrs of age I knew a family like that. His name was John H. Powell and his wife's name might have been Geneva and if so she was a Braswell before marriage. I believe this John H. Powell married again after her death. I suggest if you are interested search Dooly and Crisp County. I can remember a Hooper Powell married a Rosa Lee I cannot remember her maiden name. I believe they had a daughter named Gloria. Hope this helps, might just be some of your family, that migrated from Bibb Co. mnperry@sowega.net
