    3. More at http://expertgenealogy.com/?x=ancestrails Pre-census genealogy. Ancestral Biography. Mediaeval & Early Modern Latin translated. Qualified & experienced Archivist, palaeographer and historical researcher in the East Midlands of England - Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Rutland. Specialist in tracing origins of early New England settlers in this region, which includes the homes of several Pilgrim Father Families around Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. New discoveries and corrections of published genealogies are still being made. Training and consultancy in research skills (palaeography, diplomatic, latin, etc.). A lot more happened in your ancestors' lives than just baptism, marriage and burial. I can help you to tease out the other aspects of their experience, particularly if they lived in Pilgrim Father or "Tales of Gotham" Country. A wealth of untapped evidence survives from Mediaeval and Early Modern England, including wills and inventories, manorial and bawdy court records, deeds and terriers; you would benefit from the help of a professional in deciphering and interpreting them. The results could be surprising; do you just want a genealogy or would you prefer ancestral biography? Genealogical research service Ancestrography specialises in pre-census genealogy and genealogical biography. There is a wealth of sources available in local archives of which only a small proportion is yet online. Research prior to 1841 (the first detailed census year) becomes progressively more difficult and expert advice or completion will often be of inestimable value; before 1733 many documents were in Latin and we can help you jump this hurdle too. Projects undertaken by Ancestrography in the East Midlands; advice given for projects throughout the UK. Family trees and ancestral biographies compiled from all available sources including census, parish registers, wills and inventories, manorial records, poor law records, churchwardens' accounts and many more. Set in the context of demography, local and national history, and the sociological history of families, which is now an academic discipline in its own right. Many thanks for this additional information. Previously they were just names and dates but having more background to them makes them much more real. Latin and English documents transcribed, translated and fully interpreted, giving you extra insights into your ancestors' lives. Thank you for dealing so quickly with my enquiry and for producing such an excellent first report. I am particularly pleased with the transcription of [the] will and your accompanying comments. He has researched extensively in archives throughout Great Britain and has taught historical research methods for the universities of Birmingham, Keele, Leicester, and Oxford. He is developing an expertise in the History of the Family, teaching modules on Kinship and Marriage at the University of Nottingham during 2007-2008. Archive consultancy service Transcription, translation and interpretation of Latin and English documents Thanks very much for the translation. I’m well pleased. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to find someone who is willing and capable to take on this kind of work. Training in Latin and palaeography (reading old handwriting) Palaeographical analysis Consultancy service for individuals, institutions and businesses about creating and caring for an archive Planning your own documentary research projects, identifying key sources of information and their locations House and landscape history Do you want to discover the history of your home?

    1. Scottish genealogical research
    2. eXpertGenealogy
    3. More at http://expertgenealogy.com/?x=MacLeod Researcher with over 25 years experience in Scottish genealogical research I have worked in and travelled throughout Scotland for 50 years and, as a result, have a close and intimate knowledge of the local geography, history, place names and people of Scotland. This can be a most useful asset when building a broader picture of a family and its history. I undertake research for all parts of Scotland into all aspects of Genealogy and family history. Some of these and some of the records to which I have ready access are listed on my services page. I also undertake research in more obscure records to try to progress research which has, apparently, been halted by "lack of records". I am a specialist in solving difficult problems. For further details of my services please contact me. I shall be delighted to hear from you. ANCESTRY RESEARCH/FAMILY HISTORY I can research your ancestry/family history as far back as you wish to go or the records will allow. Typically, these would use, first, statutory and Old Parish Registers; census records, monumental inscriptions; Kirk Session records, property records etc.and develop into many other available records. The research can be basic or more detailed to reveal more of your ancestors lives, conditions, explanations of occupations etc. LIVING RELATIVES "AND SOME STAYED AT HOME - COME FORWARD TO GO BACK." Remember that not all members of a family left Scotland. Siblings of emigrants may have remained here and by finding their living descendants the present can be used to find the past. This can be most rewarding - in human terms and as a means of finding information about early generations - often not available in the records. PROBLEM SOLVING SERVICE I specialise in solving particularly difficult research problems. I live and work in Edinburgh where all the Scottish records are held. I have ready access to the very wide range of records available here. I can use these to try to find ways around difficult problems. Sometimes, a problem can be overcome by moving from the main research line, taking a different route, and returning to the main line at a later stage. Ancestry | Family history | Living relatives | Sighting and copying of certificates etc. | Army records | Testaments (Wills). | Property records. | Judiciary records. | Old newspapers (Obituaries, death notices & event reports.) | Non conformist denomination records. | Monumental inscriptions. | Kirk Session records. | Old maps. | University, school and professional organisations

    1. England genealogy service for Somerset and Bristol origins
    2. eXpertGenealogy
    3. More at http://expertgenealogy.com/?x=Poole A friendly England genealogy service for Somerset and Bristol origins Short and long term projects undertaken - One generation or many Or just tying up those loose ends in your family tree Free consultation and advice - within reason! Whether you're just starting out tracing your family history, or you're an experienced researcher with a problem that needs solving but can't get to the records yourself, then maybe I can help. I have over 20 years' experience in Genealogical work, beginning with my own family history, then helping friends at home and overseas. Since January 1999 I have served over 240 clients from various parts of the world to further their family research. I am a professional scientist, and employ a careful and logical approach to my work - the only way with this kind of meticulous detective work. I operate from a Somerset village near Bristol in the South West of England, with easy access to archives for both areas. If you have ancestors from this part of England I can probably help you to trace them. I work on ancestry projects in Somerset and Bristol, and am not normally prepared to work farther afield. I aim to provide a friendly and interactive service, working with you through e-mail. Family research usually throws up plenty of surprises and contradictions which usually upset the best laid plans, so it's important that both parties keep in touch at every stage. Apart from being more fun for everyone, it actually produces better, quicker and more focussed results. Some of the Records I use # Civil Registration of Birth, Marriage and Death. # Census Returns for Great Britain, every 10 years 1841 to 1901. # Parish Registers and Bishops Transcripts of Church baptisms, marriages and burials. Some date back to 1538, though 1600 is more usual. # Marriage Licences and Bonds recording intentions of marriage, usually of richer people. # Wills and Administrations of Goods, often with very important family information, and sometimes Inventories of property. # Parish Records like Minutes of the Vestry and the Overseers of the Poor, Churchwardens Accounts, Rate Books, Paupers' Settlement Certificates, Apprenticeship records, Vagrancy and Bastardy Certificates. From about 1750 to 1850 with information about the lives of some individuals. # Tax Records such as Subsidy Rolls, Muster Rolls, Protestation Oaths, Hearth Tax, Poll Tax, Tithe Maps and Apportionments, and Land Tax Assessments. These can give snapshots of (usually property-owning) people at various points in time from Mediaeval to the 19th Century. # Legal and Criminal Records such as Manor Court Rolls, Gaol Registers, Quarter Sessions, County Assizes, Transportation.

    3. More at http://expertgenealogy.com/?x=rootsleuth Professional Family History Research from Bristol England With almost 30 years experience in researching family history, I can help get you answers. Do you have the desire to know more about your family but not the time? Or perhaps you're just not in the right location to pursue your family research? Lost a family member in a census, can’t find that elusive wedding or just don’t know where to look next? Then perhaps I can help. With virtually 30 years experience in researching family history, I can provide whatever support you require. Whether it's a short ' look- up' or the building of a whole family tree, checking birth, marriage and death indexes, photographs or just a fresh pair of eyes to help you to move forward again. I've turned my hobby into my full-time profession in order to help others to trace their roots. In the early days I travelled with my mother and grandmother spending weeks away in the North East filling out the detail of a family tree of several thousand relatives when the internet and on-line resources were non-existent. I learnt how and where to search for archive information, and how to find things quickly.

The early Spanish explorers of the 16th century encountered their ancestors. In the 19th century, the Choctaw were known as one of the "Five Civilized Tribes" because they adopted and integrated numerous cultural and technological practices of their European American colonial neighbors. The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians are the two primary Choctaw associations today, although smaller Choctaw groups are located in Alabama, Louisiana, and Texas. During the American Revolution, most Choctaw supported the Thirteen Colonies' bid for independence from the British Crown. The Choctaw and the United States agreed to nine treaties. The last three treaties (Treaty of Doak's Stand, Washington City, and Dancing Rabbit) were designed to deracinate most Choctaw west of the Mississippi River. U.S. President Andrew Jackson made the Choctaw exile a model of Indian removal. They were the first Native Americans to walk the Trail of Tears. The Choctaw were exiled (to the area now called Oklahoma) because the U.S. desired to expand territory available for settlement to European Americans[5], wanted to save them from extinction, and wanted to acquire their natural resources.

Muskoke is their name in traditional spelling. Modern Muscogees live primarily in Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Their language, Muskoke, is a member of the Muscogee branch of the Muscogean language family. They were a part of the Mississippian culture which was located throughout the Mississippi River valley. The early Spanish explorers, according to historian Walter Williams, encountered their antecedents. In the 19th century, Muscogees were known as one of the "Five Civilized Tribes" because they had integrated numerous cultural and technological practices of their European American colonial neighbors. (This book) “ . . . originated in an attempt to prepare a report on the Indians of the Creek Confederacy similar to that made . . . for those along the lower course of the Mississippi River. In this study, however, it is still possible to add information obtained from living Indians, about 9,000 of whom were enumerated in 1910. But when material from all sources had been tentatively brought together the amount was found to be so great that it was thought advisable to divide the work into two or three different sections for separate publication. As our account of the distribution, interrelationship, and history of these people is to be gathered rather from documentary sources than from field investigations it is naturally the first to be ready for presentation. Since it has been compiled primarily for ethnological purposes, no attempt has been made to give a complete account of the later fortunes of the tribes under consideration, such important chapters in their career as the Creek and Seminole wars and the westward emigration belonging within the province of the historian strictly so considered. The writer's main endeavor has been to trace their movements from earliest times until they are caught up into the broad stream of later history in which concealment is practically impossible.” CONTENTS – Creek Indians and Their Neighbors Introduction 9 Classification of the Southeastern tribes 11 The Cusabo 31 History 31 Ethnological information regarding the l 'usabo 72 The Guale Indians and the Yamasee 80 The Apalachee 109 The Apalachicola 129 The Chatot 134 The Tawasa and Pawokti 137 The Sawokli 141 The Pent-acola 143 The Mobile and Tohome 150 The Osochi 165 The Chiaha 167 The Hitchiti 172 The Okmulgee 178 The Oconee 179 The TamaH 181 The Tamahita . 184 The Alabama 191 The Koasati 201 The Muklasa 207 The Tuskegee 207 Tennessee River tribes of uncertain relationship 211 The Muskogee 215 The Kasihta 216 The Coweta 225 The Coosa and their descendants 230 The Abihka 251 The Holiwahali 254 The Hilibi 258 The Eufaula 260 The Wakokai .. 263 The Atasi \ 265 The Kolomi 267 The Fus-hatchee 269 The Kan-hatki 269 The Wiwohka 270 The Kealedji 271 The Pakana 272 The Okchai 274 The Tukabahchee 277 Other Muskogee towns and villages 282 The Yuchi 286 The Natchez 312 The Shawnee 317 The ancient inhabitants of Florida 320 History 320 Ethnology 345 The Seminole 398 The Chickasaw 414 The Choctaw 420 Population of the Southeastern tribes 421 Bibliography 457 Index.. 463

Harrison County was created in 1784, formed from Monongalia County and named for Benjamin Harrison V, a Virginian who was the father of William Henry Harrison, ninth President of the United States and great-grandfather of Benjamin Harrison, twenty-third president. The 1790 census, taken shortly after Harrison County was formed, indicated that the new county had next to the smallest population (2,080) of the nine counties that were, at that time, within present- day West Virginia. Berkeley County had the largest population (19,713) and Randolph County had the smallest (951). There were 55,873 people living within the present state's boundaries at the time. John Simpson, a trapper and fur trader, is believed to be the first European settler in present-day Harrison County. He explored the Clarksburg area during the early 1760s. Thomas Nutter was another early Harrison County settler. He received a land grant for 1,400 acres of land along Elk Creek, close to present-day Clarksburg. He arrived in the county with his brothers Matthew and Christopher around 1772. Shortly thereafter, Obadiah and Daniel Davisson also settled in the Clarksburg area. Together, they constructed Nutter's Fort, one of the strongest forts south of Fort Pitt. Levi, Clement, and Jonathan Shinn arrived in the county shortly after Thomas Nutter. Originally from New Jersey, Levi Shinn and his brother, David, visited the county in 1772 or 1773 to establish "tomahawk" rights (claiming territory by marking trees with notches).
