I want ancestors who could read and write, had their children baptized in recognized houses of worship, went to school, purchased land, left detailed wills (naming a huge extended family as legatees), had their photographs taken once a year -- subsequently putting said pictures in elaborate isinglass frames annotated with calligraphic inscriptions, and carved voluble and informative inscriptions in their headstones. I want relatives who managed to bury their predecessors in established, still-extant (and indexed) cemeteries. I want family members who wrote memoirs, who enlisted in the military as officers and who served in strategically important (and well documented) skirmishes. I want relatives who served as councilmen, schoolteachers, county clerks and town historians. I want relatives who `religiously' wrote in the family Bible, journaling every little event and detailing the familial relationship of every visitor. In the case of immigrant progenitors, I want them to have arrived only in those years wherein passenger lists were indexed by National Archives, and I want them to have applied for citizenship, and to have done so only in those jurisdictions which have since established indices. I want relatives who were patriotic and clubby, who joined every patrimonial society they could find, who kept diaries, and listed all their addresses, who had paintings made of their houses, and who dated every piece of paper they touched. I want forebears who were wealthy enough to afford, and to keep for generations, the tribal homestead, and who left all the aforementioned pictures and diaries and journals intact in the library.

Nancy I don't think it is a long distance call from Athens to Danielsville, GA now. Why don't you call the library and find out what the P O Box number is. You can then put it on the web and those of us that live a long way off (Texas) will have the Madison County Library Address, too.

Does anyone know the mailing address for the Madison County Library - It is a P.O. Box and not a street address. Thanks, Nancy

Can whoever it was that posted the address to the Madison County Library and information about ordering The History of Madison County - please email me with that information? Thanks, Nancy

Samuel Benjamin Brown is my ancestor and it's very likely that Lewis is too, but I don't know of the connection at this time. Have info on Samuel's descendants if interested. Would also like to know the Anna, Lewis and Samuel connection if anyone out there can help.

Nancy The Madison County newspapers are on microfilm at the University Library in Athens. You can read the microfilm there - right where you live. I think the library is open at night, too.

Can someone do a lookup for me in whatever the Madison County(Danielsville) Newspaper was in 1917. If anyone can help me, email me and I will give you the info. for my search. Nancy

Does anyone have the following index listed above? It was put out by Amy Sanders and Heritage Papers. If so, please email me - I need someone to do some lookups. Thanks, Nancy

The Madison County cemetery book lists Bethaven Cemetery on Nowhere Rd. Can anyone who lives in the area give me directions from Hwy 29 coming out of Athens? Thanks, Dawn

I have made more changes to my website - would love for all to go check it out. Go to http://www.negia.net/~nbedell - I have added a link for the Athens Family History Center - please click on it and go check it out!! I was over there last night and spoke to the man who runs it and he said he wished more people used their Genealogy resources. So, if you live close to Athens, Georgia please go check out this web isite - the library is a wonderful resource for Genealogists!! If you don't live in the Athens, GA area - there may be a library near you(it is run by the Mormon church). Thanks!! Nancy

Nancy, you might be interested to know that Jeanne has two small children under 5, too.

I don't recall making an offer for Courthouse/Library Research - that is near impossible for me being that I have a toddler and 5 year old that I have running around under my feet. They are my all day job. If you could let me know where you saw that I'd appreciate it. If I don't have it in a book here, I can't really go out with my kids to a Courthouse or Library and search for it. Thanks!!

Hey Nancy (and anyone else interested), I believe I saw a rootsweb mail list for people who want to "swap" research time. You volunteer to do courthouse/library research in your neck of the woods, and others do so in their neighborhoods. Sounds like a good deal (if there's a volunteer in your area of interest)!
