Joey Did the death certificate name his parents? You can usually write to the genealogy dept of the town library as some have copies of obits and make your request. You can look up the libraries phone # online and call to find out and also ask of the cost. God's blessings in your search Claudia

Last year, when my grandson was in GA history class in Savannah, Ga, his teacher assigned each class member a name that could be found on the Savannah Census in 1850. The asignment was to learn all they could about that person and share it with their class. I'm sure they covered Civil War, but I'm even more pleased they covered how to research PERSONAL history. One thing I've tried to do is put together a book on OUR family members who fought in the Civil War, and the battles they fought in. My Grandsons loved my "Book" and are now interested in genealogy.

I certainly should've added an extra column for time frame. I don't know why I didn't... You may want to email the individual(s) associated with the surnames of interest to get that information for the time being.

Guess I am one of those who did not know who JAMES EWELL BROWN STUART was. I had heard of Jeb Stuart, but had thought that Jeb was his name or nickname. Guess I need to go back and study my history. <vbg> These mailing lists are very informative, not just genealogy, but history and much more.

JEHU meaning http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/jehu.html

> Elizabeth Whitaker Wouldn't you hate to have had Jeb Stuart (Civil War) as your ancestor? James Ewell Brown = Jeb Stuart This had to be confusing. Sandra

No. Are you sure your ancestor didn't have one of these as his middle name? I have found ancestors who had middle names who either never used their first name or who appear in some records with the first and middle names switched. If either of these is the case, it can be even more confusing when both the first name and the middle name start with the same letter. I know this because it's the case with one of my ancestors.

Not so bad ! We happen to know JEB Stuart, IV!! His son is JEB Stuart V. All direct descendants of the original JEB. Nice folks!

Steph, How do you go about seeing the history of the surname list? for instance, the King list , the Goolsby list, these names are in my 1800's family and I would like to know if they are any of mine. thank you Faye Wende

I know that I have sent this before, but still need help.And I so much appreciate those that have replied. Subject: [HUGHES] HARDY P. HUGHES married LAURA S. SIMONS Need help with my brick wall!!! My Great-Grandfather, Hardy P. Hughes, born in SC, September 28, 1851, SC, died July 3, 1891, Milledgeville, GA Married Laura S. Simons, born in SC, April 20, 1873 in Columbus, Muscogee County, GA Oldest daughter, Lavenia Delia Hughes, born in SC, January 28, 1874 told her children that when she was age three, they moved to Columbia, SC (this would have put them there in 1877 or thereabouts). I know they were back in Columbus, GA by August 25, 1876 as this was when and where a sister was born. I need to find information on the parents and siblings of Hardy P. Hughes. Have looked for this information for about 25 years, and can find nothing! If you have a suggestion or idea, please let me know. Thanks! Maureen Hughes Poole
