We've all been helped by so many people on the Internet. I think this is a great idea to show our appreciation!! 2a. VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION MONTH. RootsWeb was founded with the help of many selfless and dedicated individuals. These people, and many others, volunteer their time and talents to the pursuit of genealogical research. In a continuing effort to express our appreciation to the intricate network of RootsWeb volunteers, we are declaring April the official RootsWeb Volunteer Appreciation Month. Each week, we will be spotlighting various volunteers who have shown amazing devotion in helping others trace their genealogy. Keep an eye on our home page to read their stories. We will also give users the chance to show their appreciation for the help they have received. There is now a Message Board created for the sole purpose of expressing appreciation toward volunteers as well as sharing stories of success made possible only through the help of another genealogist. Please join us in saluting our volunteers. This is your chance to thank them and give them the recognition they deserve.

Wanda, Thank you soooo much for sending the URL to the list. I've been reading some of the older emails and they are a great source of information. I had my computer upgraded in January and, in the process, my email program was deleted so I lost all my old 'saved' emails. This is just one way for me to go back in and look through the older emails and see what I can re-use. Thanks again!!!

MALLON FAMILY Does anyone on the list have ties to the Mallon family. I have recently discovered that my LONG sought after G.Grandmother - Annie Belle Buchanan was a niece of William R. Mallon and was living in this household in the 1880 census (Waresboro, Ga.). I am trying to find out just "how" she was related to the Mallon's. I've been searching for the names of her father and mother for several years now, but have had no success. I only recently found her in the 1880 census. Her death certificate (1933) states that her father was "Hy" Buchanan - I've always assumed this to be a nickname for Hyram or Hiram. As I said, her name was Annie Belle (shown in the census as "Bella") Buchanan and she married Walter L. Cason in 1885. Any information on the Mallons OR my g.grandmother will be much appreciated. Huxford records state that he father was Christopher C. Buchanan but later research has proved that this is NOT correct. None of the data for C.C. Buchanan fits my g.grandmother. Belle was said to have been born in Florida - this information matches the 1880 census data (which also states that both parents were born in Ga.) She also had a 1/2 sister named Bobbie Lee Buchanan who was living in Magnolia Ark in 1885. Thanks!! Judy Strickland

Thanks Wanda. I will get it all together and contact you off list for where to send it etc. Just wanted to add more .

Wanda, just wanted to add them to the Kettle Creek cemetery documentation. I can email them or burn a disc. Which is best ? and let me have a few days to round them up. Jane

Christopher: Thank you for the clarification. I took a photo of the church but don't recall a "sign" for Booth Cemetery. But, it was a hot, blistering afternoon and I had focused on "looking down" at graves rather than signs.... Teresa Currie Blevins

Hi Jane , Do you want to make a web page or add them to mine ? If you'd like to add them to mine I'll give you credit for the tombstone pictures. Just let me know how you want to do it Wanda JVanh67770@aol.com wrote: >Wanda, I have a lot of them too. How to put them on there ?

He seems to know more about Manor than anyone I have ever met!!!! I know that the sign at the church said "Victory" as I have a photo of the same. Teresa Currie Blevins >> Hello, Booth Church is now called Victory. BUT, the name of the cemetery is still called Booth cemetery. (The story of why the name of the church was changed after all these long years is an interesting one. Originally the church was called Philadelphia.) At one time all of my immediate family were members of this church. When my Aunt Marguerite Griffin Booth was dying she requested that she be laid out in front of the altar instead of the funeral home or her residence. It was the first time that I had ever heard of this being done. Her son-in-law, Julius Daniel stayed the night with her. When I was growing up in Manor there was a fence around the cemetery to keep the livestock out. The black cemetery was separated from the white cemetery by that fence. Few of those black graves are marked. I don't know if the black cemetery is also called Booth or not. I grew up loving to explore the cemeteries my kinfolk were buried in: Booth, Mount Olive, Camp Branch Providence, Camp Branch Holiness, and New Prospect. All of these located around the Manor area. I remember being in Booth cemetery as a young boy by myself. I startled a long black snake which crawled into a hole beside a grave cover slab. For some reason it left an indelible memory which I have never forgot. I can still recall which grave it was all these years gone. Camp Branch Holiness at one time had a fence around it also. I was in the cemetery with my grandmother, Sarah Ella White Boyd, as a small boy. We had been at my grandfather William Arthur Boyd's grave visiting. There was a rosebush in bloom and I started to pick a rose. She told me not to pick it because I would faint before I could get out the cemetery gate. (She also told me that if a bird built a nest with any of your hair that you would have a headache.) Whoa, I think I have memories about all of those cemeteries. For the cause, Christopher
