I found an excellent site that I wanted to share with all of you if you have not already visited it. It is called Ancient Faces: Virtual Genealogy Exchange. Here istheir website link: http://ancientfaces.com/cgi-bin/index.cfm The whole site has old family photos and is quite impressive. I found a couple from my own lines---and these were people whose faces I had never seen before!! Just thought you might be interested. If you have already received this from another list please disregard it. I was so impressed with the site that I wanted to send it to all of the lists that I subscibe to as I know that we all have ancestors whose faces we would like to see. :o) Hopefully, you will have some luck too. Best Regards, Sandy L. Landrum-kelly Atlanta, Georgia

Hello. Someone on another list sent out a message giving the following URL. http://www.ssa.gov/foia/foia_guide.htm I've checked in out, and on 1 July (this Sunday), the fee for a copy of one SS application will jump from $7 to $27 if you do have the SSN, and to $29 if you do not. Other fees are going up as well. The entire list is at the above URL. So let's all get those requests into the mail. Lowell

Does anyone have access to the Elbert County GA 1800 Federal Census Index, and would do a look-up for me? I want the enumeration of the surname James in Elbert County for that year. Thanks, Norm Ricker normhr@ij.net

Do any subscribers have access to the early Elbert Co., GA Wills? If so, I would appreciate your assistance with a "look-up." Your response is appreciated. Thank you. C. Ward CMW12635@aol.com

Does anyone know where this couple is buried? Elijah Maxwell, 1773-1847 Elizabeth "Betsey" Jordan Maxwell, 1791-1879 Thank you for any information. Lowell

Jesse George Christian (1811-1883) died in Elbert County. Does anyone know the cemetery in which he is buried? His wife was Ann Maxwell (1818-1896), daughter of Elijah Maxwell and Elizabeth "Betsey" Jordan. Does anyone know if she also died in Elbert County, and if so, where she is buried? Thank you for your help. Lowell

William Payne Christian (1781-1861) and his wife, Sarah Maxwell (1786-1838) both died in Elbert County. I am trying to find out where they are buried because I would like to make a trip to Elbert County and visit family graves. I have seen a note that Sarah is buried "near Nickville." Can anyone give me the name of the cemetery? Is William P. also buried in the same cemetery? Thank you for your help. Lowell

I've added another couple of thousand names to my Georgia Civil War Soldiers Index since my last update last November. The new names are now on line at http://www.researchonline.net/gacw/updates.htm These names are predominantly men who served in Cavalry, Artillery, Militia, and State Troop units who are not included in Henderson's Roster of the Confederate Soldiers of Georgia. My master index now contains approximately 28,000 names that are not found in Henderson's Roster. The Civil War in Georgia is located at http://www.researchonline.net/gacw and you can search the index there. John Rigdon

Hello to GA. Bell researchers, I'm new to list, and in need of help from some generous person/s who might have the 1850 & 1860 Elbert Co Census'. The 1850 index indicates eight Bell families were enumerated. I'd like info on all of them, but won't wear out my welcome, first time out. Would like to have the family, census, data for: David Bell and Elizabeth Snellings, who married 06Jan1829 (and if anyone knows when Elizabeth Snellings Bell died). Also Enoch Bell and Mary B. Snellings, who married 22 Dec 1836. Also IF David and Enoch were brothers? Thanks for any help........ S. Jones

In 1801, Richard Tyner was on the Elbert County GA Tax Roll, owning four slaves and 270 acres of land adjacent to James and Jones on Cold Water. Can anyone identify this James family and Jones family for me? Norm Ricker

Subject: [MSTIPPAH-L] Holloway Cemetery Forwarding this on in case it connects to someone on my list that I subscribe to. Hope no one minds. This was in Tues, 8 May, Springfield MO News Leader, p. 5B: Discovery of cemetery halts roadwork--Associated Press-Kansas City-- Construction of a new highway in south Kansas City has been halted by the discovery of a small cemetery dating back to the Civil War era. State officials are anxious to find any descendants of the Holloway family who are bured in the cemetery. If the heirs can't be found, the state will have to get court permission to move the nine graves in the plot, in order to finish a new Missouri 150. Construction workers recently unearthed a marble headstone, dating from 1858, while moving a large section of water pipe. Archaeologists later found another headstone and evidence of seven other graves. The site has not been disturbed further. -------- Please pass this on to other lists. Betty White Santa Barbara, CA
