I am looking for any information on Thomas E. Blanchard Born 1840,died 1917, on a plantation in near Ellerslie, Georgia. His first Job was in J. W. Pease's Book Store. Mercer Blanchard is lised in his family. Mercer Blanchard Firsrt Lieutenant,CSA Co B, 37rh Georgia Reg. Mr. Thomas E. Blanchard was married to Sarah E. MacDougald. They had no children, they had an adpoted niece that died. Also in his family Dr. Joel Uriah McDuffie Blanchard, thr beloved " Dr. Mac." Blanchard., surgeon in the Congederae Army and physician to many in Columbus. I am not related to the Blanchards. I found a picture of Thomas E. Blanchard, he is the image of my son. In the Etta W, Blanchard Book there is a picture of Thomas E. Blanchard. It looks like my son posed for the picture.. The picture of Mr. Blanchard doesn't favor my son , he looks like my son. Hair , eyes, nose, mouth and face right on down to the little beard around his mouth. Mr. Blanchard has the same expression in his eyes as my son. Hie eyebrows and even the way my son wore his hair years ago. I would like to know if anyone has any other pictures of Thomas E. Blanchard so I could see if it's just this picture that looks like he and my son both sat for this picture. The pictures I have of my son is laughing or at least a smile. The picture of Mr. Blanchard is serious. Not only in the picture but in real life my son looks like this picture of Mr. Blanchard. It's an odd felling to look at a picture of a man born in 1840 and see your son. Thanks for any help. Sandra

Does any one have a Mary Parthenopy Reese in their datafiles. She would have been my gr-gr-gr- grandmother. I have she married Rev. Benjamin W.Clark ,17 Apr. 1827, That is all I have on her. I do know that they had several children, I also have those names, and that they married in and with the Kimbroughs and Rees/Reeses, which is my connection to. But that was on my Reese side, Her daughter was (my gr-gr ) grandmother, Mary Jane Clark (Gibson)That is the connection on my Gibson side. >Apparently he(Benjamin W.Clark ) was from Upson County,Yatesville,Ga.He moved to Muscogee Co, Columbus GA. some time later, gave land for a Kimbrough Masonic Lodge and also the Pierce Chapel Methodist Church. She was buried at Upson County,Ga I don't have any dates on her except the marriage date, I didn't know if perhaps Parthenopy was a former married name or if it was a given name.

Mrs. Johnson was a remarkable woman in many respects. She was a great worker in revivals in this section of Georgia. She was a member of the Methodist church and attended every camp meeting held at the old Central campground for many years. She took such a great interest in the meetings that she was called “Mrs. Camp-Meeting” Johnson. She was the founder of East Highlands Methodist Church in Columbus.

Hi all, This was from one of my email lists. I just ran across an interesting Website, "Courthouse Experiences" http://www.bcpl.net/~dmg/courthouse.htm Not every county is listed, but the ones listed gave helpful information regarding the attitudes of those working in the courthouses. I might suggest that if you have had a positive or negative courthouse experience you add them to this site. I now know how to prepare myself for several courthouses I want to visit later this year.

Don't know if this will help or not. But I found my great grandpapa in a book 1832-1932, obits in Columbus , Georgia. It gave me a date, I went and asked for the 1870 Columbus Enquire paper and his obit was listed. The article was picked up from the Mobile Register. He was State Rep. Joseph R. Waldrop 1868-1870. He was ambushed shot and killed.I had been looking for his obit for several and one night I found it in the Genealogy Room. He was killed August 13, 1870. Hope this helps and what you are looking for. Sandra

Help me answer this one. Do you have to know the exact date ? Does the library have films from 1889?

Hi all, from another list. . . If your email inbox is crowded with messages such as "Re: Thank You!" or "Your Details" or :Your Application" or even the tempting "Wicked screensaver," you're not alone. You've gotten stuck with a mass-mailing virus, called Sobig-F with the "F" tagging it as the current version of a virus that has run through versions A through E since January. Simply delete the email without opening the attachment, the Internet service providers say. The virus will fade from distribution after Sept. 10. Once opened, Sobig automatically launches an email server. It reads all the addresses in the user's email files and starts sending out infected mail. Please borrow, purchase, or whatever a good virus program. With that being said. . . This is a reminder that discussion of virus, worms, and other attacks of this nature are not to be discussed on this mailing list. There are lists for that purpose, and much more information can be gained from them. Our purpose and goal is to discuss genealogy and history, and how it all relates to our ancestors and their families. Please, lets keep it at that.

I've had the same problem. Fortunately, my ISP has a good virus filter. But I'd like to be double safe, so I am going to unsubscribe and then resubscribe in a couple of weeks.

Is this list filtered for viruses?? It seems that everyday for the past week I've had one or two viruses to try and come through. Am so glad that we have a good virus protector in place, but it gets very annoying to have to spend time to remove the virus. Was just wondering what protection that the list has since you get so many inquiries? Thanks! Maureen

Sandra, There is a write-up with photos on the LUMMUS property at Juniper - I may have posted material about it in the past. It's from DAVIDSON's "Rockaway in Talbot." The photos include at least one view of the lake. If you haven't seen this material, I will be glad to send the information to you. Unfortunately, I do not know if any of Juniper is still standing - I have wondered this myself. I believe my SIZEMORES were living in the vicinity when they first moved to the area (or perhaps there was a post office there that served the area?). My gg-gf James Marion SIZEMORE (b. 1836) was supposedly born at Juniper. Another thing that has puzzled me in the past is whether Juniper was in Talbot or Marion Co. (or both?). I seem to recall that it was near the county line.

Carla, I wanted to thank you for posting this notice. I believe this is a child of William Daniel FUNDERBURKE (1856-ca. 1900) & his wife Eliza (PATE) FUNDERBURKE (1867-1933), who are both buried at the Box Springs Cemetery. I was not aware that they had resided in Columbus. I suppose the grave of George is now unmarked, as I have not seen a record of him, so I'm grateful that you made this extract available. (Eliza was the sister of my gg-gm, Caroline (PATE) SIZEMORE.) You are providing a great service - thanks! John Mallory Land McKinney, TX retrofit@flash.net <<The Talbotton New Era, August 2, 1906 The Talbotton New Era Thursday, August 2, 1906 Page 3 Box Springs Little George Funderburk, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.D.

Patricia, It has always been my understanding that, in Georgia, a given county only provides copies of vital records that were created in that county. (I can't imagine being able to walk into the Chattahoochee Co. Probate Court and acquire a vital record from Bartow Co. or elsewhere.) However, this may have changed, or may not be the case in the larger counties - I suggest you contact someone with the Probate Court and inquire (these are for Muscogee Co.): Vital Records Office 100 Tenth Street Columbus, GA 31901-2617 (706) 653-4331 (Birth records:) Health Department 2100 Comer Avenue Columbus, GA 31904 (706)321-6300 I'd be interested to know what you're able to learn. Thanks, and good luck! John in TX PACA1509@aol.com wrote: >Hi! > I am confused about something.
