I would like to advise those of you not living in the Middle GA area to check your phone directories to locate your closest LDS meeting place and check with them about the nearest FHC and its hours. There are several in nearby counties where I live, and I had planned to make some "spend-the-day" excursions when my landlord informed me that we had one locally. It is not listed on the web site. Also, some small scale centers manned by volunteers may close if no shows to "gen" after a certain period of time. If you do plan to visit, but not right when it opens, you may want to give them advanced notice.

The IGI is composed of many records copied by the LDS, but unfortunately it also has information submitted by individuals...and things are not "labeled" which is which. I work at our local FHC and we constantly remind people to NOT just accept what they find as absolute.......when you find something in the IGI you are not able to know which is a copy from an actual record and which is simply submitted by an a person.. thus, things from the IGI cannot be taken as fact either...only as a clue to where to start your own primary research. Just because we live far away doesn't prevent us from doing primary research; most courthouses mail documents, many historical or genealogical societies have resources that they will check for you, county libraries will copy pages, etc, the various internet county sites have volunteers that will look in their books and records for your family (and many will send a copy if you send a nice "thank you" along with copy costs and a SASE), and there are many books and CDs available for sale covering every conceivable area. Not all of the above are applicable for every area, but it's up to us to do our "homework" and find out what and where! It just takes digging, but it can be done..believe me. The vast majority of my own research has, by necessity, been done long distance, so to speak, and my documentation gathered has enabled me to join the DAR , Colonial Dames and various other like groups....

I am responding to the posting regarding the validity or , rather, reliability of the LDS information. There was a time when all that was available at their website, was Ancestral and Pedigree Resource files that were all contributed by individuals as a result of their own personal research. Now, however, the IGI series of entries include much, if not all of the locality files that were previously available only at the History Centers. Georgia Marriage Books A & B are both searchable by name, as well as many registered births. This site offers much to the researcher, who no longer lives close to the geographical location of their ancestors. I have had much luck finding names and marriage dates of my grandfather's siblings. The Ancestral Files also give the reseacher invaluable information to either prove or disprove as they see fit. It is most definitely a site worth visiting. Of course, if you don't know the names, your job is more difficult, but still not impossible. The site will also do a "parent search" listing the registered biths of particular people. Of course, original documents are the best way to prove the past, but for those of us who no longer reside in the Great State of Georgia, the internet offers us unlimited "springboards."

I am desperately trying to find a link between Philip D. Logan, b. 1787, and Philip Logan, Rev. War soldier. Information I have obtained so far indicates that both Philip and Philip D. lived in Baldwin Co. at one time. Information received from the National Archives indicates Philip D. Logan volunteered for the War of 1812 in Milledgeville and served in Newnan's Command, Georgia Volunteers. He also fought in the Creek and Seminole Indian War in 1813. He volunteered for this service in Milledgeville too. Philip Logan, Rev. War soldier, lived in Baldwin Co., GA several years. He got a pension in 1818 and died in early 1820 in Baldwin County. His estate was administered by Benjamin Logan, Philip's son. There is an article to this effect in the 10/31/1820 Georgia Journal. Would also like to find out where a file of the Georgia Journals might be located. Thank you for your time. Arnold Logan dslogan@home.com 5101 Maryanna Way N. Richland Hills, TX 76180 817-281-1075

Posted on: Baldwin Co. Ga Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Baldwin?read=110 Surname: ROGERS, SADLER, CARDER ------------------------- I'm looking for information on William Rogers, the son of Clayton ROGERS and Betridge SADLER Rogers. I'm exploring whether Michael William ROGERS might be Clayton and Betridge's son. All I know about William Rogers is that he was born about 1780-90 in Chester Co., SC, that he married someone and had one son, Jefferson C. ROGERS, who was born in 1820 in Tennessee and married Nancy Adaline CARDER. William Rogers I'm told had 14 children -- 4 girls and 10 boys, of whom 7 were Methodist ministers (not including Jefferson). Could Michael William Rogers, b. in Milledgeville, Baldwin Co., GA, have been one of those sons? Jay Rogers in San Antonio, TX

Posted on: Baldwin Co. Ga Queries Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ga/Baldwin?read=109 Surname: Kenan ------------------------- Kathleen, Catherine Clifford Kenan, born November 19, 1847 in Milledgeville. Married November 13, 1873 in McIntosh County, GA to William W. Williamson, lawyer, member Georgia Legislature. Moved to Macon, Georgia. Both buried there. Issue: 1) Charles, died unmarried, Executive with Bibb Manufacturing Company, Macon, GA. 2) Emily, married General Walter Harris, prominent attorney;, National Guard officer Macon, Ga. only child died infancy; 3) William W. Jr., born October 5, 1876; 4) Kate, born July 29, 1878, died September 6, 1879, buried Old Cem. Milledgeville; 5) Wylly, born April. 7, 1881, died May 20, 1881, buried Milledgeville. This information is found in the 1967 edition of the Kenan Family book. I have a copy if you are interested in other info.
if, for instance, I was looking for genealogical data on Ezekiel Miller, who lived in Baldwin co, GA, I would; 1) visit the county site for Baldwin county, found by using this URL (keep it to find all the county sites you may wish to visit in the future.) http://www.usgenweb.com/ scroll down, and on the left you'll see THE PROJECT'S STATE PAGES click on it and follow the instructions to find the Baldwin co site. I then read whatever information is there (hopefully it will have information of what is available from the courthouse and their address). There is usually a lookup list of volunteers, who will do lookups for you in the book/CD, etc listed with their name. click on their name, type the name of the book or whatever they have you're interested in in either the subject slot of the email or the message. NEVER ASSUME someone will know what you're wanting. Many of us do lookups for many different places, and unless you tell us what you want and what book you want it from, we can't possible know.. 2) using the same URL above, scroll down to the right and you'll see USGENWEB PROJECT ARCHIVES scroll down a few lines till you see STATE ARCHIVES SEARCH ENGINE click on it, and then type in the name of the person you're interested in, in my case "Ezekiel Miller"...put quotes around it, and then highlight the state you want to search in....in my case GA. This will then give you all the references to the person, located in the ROOTSWEB archives for GA. 3) I always look to see what has been submitted in the Ancestral files at the LDS (I sent you that URL earlier) 4) Using the URL I sent earlier, for the CD lookup list, I see what CDs' contain the name Ezekiel Miller and then, following the instructions, send an email to a volunteer for each of those CDs......being sure to include the # of the CD, and then the name of the person I want them to look for, in the body of the message. DO NOT give big long messages...it is only confusing.....do NOT give family histories or explanations; just give the name, the place, and a date, even if aprox...that's all.....believe me, anything else is just confusing. 5) I join the county list I'm interested in, using the following URL to find all such lists; http://lists.rootsweb.com/ once subscribed, I place my query. Depending on how interested I am in the area I may simply wait for a week or so to see if my query is answered, and then unsubscribe.......then do the whole thing again, next month, in case there are new members who might be able to help 6) using the above URL, I check to see if there is a surname list for my "family", in my case, MILLER. If there is, I join the list and place my query, and hope someone recognized my specific Millers. I again wait for an answer, and then possibly unsubscribe as I discussed above, and resubscribe later. 7) I visit the following site, which is sort of like a computer bulletin board, arranged into surnames. http://genforum.genealogy.com/ check to see if there are any queries that look interesting to you, and if so, read them, and perhaps answer. Be sure to check the little box that you wish to be notified if someone answers your query. Then, place a query of your own, using a good subject.........Ezekiel Miller..Baldwin Co GA 1841......in my case,this says it all. DO NOT put subjects like My Millers.....of course they're your Millers....otherwise you wouldn't be putting a query on the Miller list. Put something that describes your own Millers! That ought to keep you busy for a while. Try to put your query out as many times as you can, wherever you can, hoping someone will see it and respond. In general, when someone replys, always send them an email to acknowledge receiving their email, and to say "thanks"......and, be sure to ask them their documentation for the information. You need to know if it is in the Caroline county Order book on page 4, for example, or if Aunt Tilly told them, both of which will let you know how good the source is! Have fun and let me know how you do! Sandra

Virginia has suggested that some of you may not be acquainted with what is available from the Family History Centers at the your local Latter Day Saints. I recommend that you all visit, and ask the volunteers there to help you with your research. A couple of things to keep in mind; the information found in the Ancestral files, and much of what is in the IGI is non-documented; it is simply information that is submitted by individuals, and is in no way checked for correctness. So, take what you find in these 2 resources as a clue ONLY, and not as a truth; you must ALWAYS go on to either prove or disprove what you find there with your own primary research! Both these files are full of provable errors, so don't accept things as fact! For me, the most valuable asset at the LDS is the silver CD of the holdings at the library in Salt Lake. By using this, you may do a location search; Baldwin county, for instance, and this CD will tell you what they have at Salt Lake on Baldwin county. It will be divided into various categories, and you may "explore" these to see what you might be interested in; tax records, probate, cemetery records, etc........all will be listed. You may then order any of the records that are on film (they will not send books) for $3.50 rental fee for about a month....when the films arrive you will be called, and can then visit and view them while they remain there. In this way you may see any census records from any county in the country, many foreign records (i.e.. English and Scottish parish records), passenger lists, naturalization records, deeds, and many many more.........the only way to know what they have on the particular area/county/town you're interested in is to do a locality search and see what is available. http://www.familysearch.com/default.asp this is the online site for the LDS....it doesn't contain the ability to do the above locality searches (which must be done at your local FHC), it is mainly just the ancestral Files...So, by all means, type in you ancestors and see what you find....just remember, nothing you find is a fact, so don't accept it as being true!

By Brian Mitchell. 128 pp., indexed. Balto., 1989. $20.00. SALE PRICE: $15.00 The purpose of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland was to map the whole country at a scale of six inches to one mile, and the six-inch maps appeared between 1835 and 1846. Each map was to have been accompanied by topographical descriptions, or memoirs, for every civil parish, but this was impractical, and the idea was abandoned. However, the field officers gathered much useful data, and the notebooks in which the information was recorded are now in the Royal Irish Academy in Dublin. They cover nineteen of Ireland's thirty-two counties, though the memoirs of Antrim and Londonderry are the only ones with lists of emigrants. These lists have been extracted, arranged under parish, and alphabetized, and they identify the emigrant's destination and his place of origin in Ireland--key pieces of information for anyone tracing his Irish ancestry. In addition, the age, town and address, year of emigration, and religious denomination are given for each emigrant. Over 3,000 emigrants are identified in this book. G4250. IRISH SETTLERS IN AMERICA. A Consolidation of Articles from the Journal of the American Irish Historical Society. By Michael J. O'Brien. 2 vols. 644 & 638 pp., indexed. (1979), repr. Balto., 1993. $85.00. SALE PRICE: $70.00 1 left Michael J. O'Brien was the historian and chief contributor to the Journal of the American Irish Historical Society during its years of publication, 1898-1941. O'Brien's numerous articles were united by a common objective--to explode the "Scotch-Irish myth," in effect to demonstrate that the Catholic Irish were more numerous than the Ulster Irish in the early days of immigration and more prominent in the affairs of state. O'Brien's collected articles now form a reference work of encyclopedic proportions--accessible, comprehensive, and convenient--and they touch upon the entire spectrum of colonial American history. In the 132 articles assembled here, O'Brien lists no fewer than 25,000 pioneers and settlers, his information deriving from both manuscript and printed sources. The two-volume consolidation also contains a new preface, a descriptive table of contents, and indexes. VIRGINIA MARRIAGE BONDS OF BEDFORD COUNTY, VIRGINIA 1755- 1800 by Earle S. Dennis and Jane E.

This is a serious impediment to research, of course, but newspapers can often be used to overcome this deficiency, as they contain aa wealth of information about the marriages and deaths of local people. Moreover, newspaper notices of marriages and deaths often contain detail lacking in the more frequently sought cemetery, church, and town record books. So it is with some relief that Fred Q. Bowman and Thomas J. Lynch joined forces to prodeuce this list of 7000 marriages and deaths from the newspapers of the Hudson-Mohawk Valley area, giving researchers a much-needed boost in their search for vital records. Typicially the marriage notices give such information as the names of the bride and groom, date of marriage, place, names of parents, name of officiating minister. Death notices, on the other hand, provide the date and place of death, age at death, sometimes cause of death, occupation, and names of survivors. All 7,000 entries in this work, naming as many as 20,000 individuals, were taken from the following newspapers in the Hudson-Mohawk Valley area: Rome Citizen, Herkimer Herald, Bunker Hill, Mohawk Courier, Montgomery Phoenix and Fort Plain Advertiser, West Troy Advocate and Watervliet Advertiser, Albany Gazette, Daily Albany Argus, American Eagle, Ulster Telegraph, Newburgh Journal, Putnam Democrat and Democrat Courier, Westchester Republican,Highland Democrat and Hudson River Chronicle.

I'm not sure what you want me to look these folks up in, as I don't have the W section of either the census or the tax digest (I was careful to list, in my email, the exact names covered).
