I just purchased the Family Archive Census Index: New England, 1900, and it, too, is not complete. Records which I had extracted previously working from microfilm in the CT State Library are missing from this CD. I purchased the CD because almost all of my research is New England-based and I live some distance from microfilm repositories. I thought that I could save myself some driving, but I guess there really is no substitute for hands on research. Buyers beware.

Also, for those that might not know, many books on genealogy, as well as some family bibles and compiled family histories are on sale at the online auction, www.ebay.com. This could be of substantial help to researchers. This is not meant as SPAM, because it does relate directly to anyone doing genealogical research. Just log on to www.ebay.com, then search on Genealogy, or bible, or family names, or states (by two-letter abbreviation) and counties. The site is user friendly with instructions on how to use the system, how to search, and how to bid. I've found lots of good research material there on families and history, and most of it at a really good price. It's also a good place to sell your research materials after you have finished with them. No, I am not a sales person for EBAY. Anyone that has additional questions about this can contact me, I'll be glad to help any way that I can. Ray -----Original Message----- From: Hunt, Ray Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 1999 8:22 AM To: 'NCNASH-L@rootsweb.com' Subject: RE: [NCNASH-L] Nash Co Records This information is availlable at the NC State Archives section of the Dept. of Cultural Resources in Raleigh (on Jones St. I believe). The reels may be available at other locations (such as LDS family research centers), but the boxes are original documents that you can view at the Archives. The people at the Archives are very helpful, and most are knowledgeable about genealogy and the history of NC, and they are also open on Saturdays (but closed on Monday). The Archives in Raleigh is an excellent place to start any genealogical research (whether in NC, the south, or anywhere in U.S., as they have much information, including census records from many states). After a trip to the Archives, you will need to supplement your information with a trip to the county courthouse for the county that you are researching, but you should have a good idea of where (and when) your family was in that area after a trip to the Archives. I know that Raleigh may not be local for many folks, but if you are serious about genealogy, you owe it to yourself to spend some time there (and don't expect to find everything in one day, take it a piece at the time, follow one or two families on each trip rather than try to establish your full line from you to ADAM in one Saturday afternoon. Good family research (that is thorough and well documented) may take YEARS, maybe even GENERATIONS, so be patient, get what you can, and above all, document, document, document...that way, someone may be able to expand on your research later.

Felica and all I like the discussions, I keep watching for the right James. My grandfather was; James Dudley Hunt b. 2/17/1884 Niantic Macon CO IL d. 2/23/1929 Wichita KS m. Lois Edna Horsley 1913 b. 10/20/1890 Harper Ks d. 3/12/1955 Wichita KS I have his parents as James Dudley Hunt and Clarissa Adams. Can you make any link with your James' ? I have been told that Dudley was a family name passed down from a Lord Dudley in England. Dad was only 7 when his father died so remembers very little and there was little contact with the family. Possible siblings for James would be Mary Elizabeth, Theodore, Roy A. and Harry H. I have not been able to confirm these as of yet. Pam Hunt Evans Derby KS

Greetings, listers. I am seeking information about several generations of HUNTs. I am looking for ROBERT U. HUNT who married EPHERETA ROBERTS [or GINTY, possible first marriage], date c. 1868, place Maine or Minnesota. They had a son born in Minnesota in 1869. He was HERBERT VINCENT HUNT, who married my grand-aunt MARY EGAN SHEPHARD in 1890. HERBERT HUNT once gave his father's place of birth as Switzerland and his mother's as Germany - which may mean that the HUNT name was originally something else, HUNIKER or HUNTZ or maybe JAEGER. HERBERT HUNT and MARY EGAN SHEPHARD (any spelling) had three sons who lived to adulthood and married - they were FRANK S. HUNT (born 1891), PHILLIP HUNT (1895), and LEONARD HUNT (1902), my father's first cousins. General area - Peabody, Massachusetts and New York City. I have a strong feeling that the children of those sons - the males being named HUNT, of course - are out there somewhere for me to find. Does anyone on the list have these names in his or her recent pedigree? Thanks for any information. Ginny Crawford VCrawf@aol.com Carmel Valley CA USA

Through the Hunt list, I have come across a Richardson HUNT b. Sept. 2,1762 and d. Jan. 6, 1818. I'm wondering if he might be related to my Charles Richardson Hunt circa 1806 in Charlotte Cty., VA? Charles Richardson Hunt m. Clarissa Barksdale in 1828, in Charlotte County VA. Richardson's parents were Elijah Hunt b.? d. 1795 m. Sarah Richardson Sept 26, 1761; b. 1741 d. 1814. They married in Henry Cty, VA. John I. thought there might be connections because of the names, and dates seem to work in to the equation. Any help would be appreciated.

I agree wholeheartedly to your suggestion that conversations between people discussing a particular line should be handled directly and not on the list. I have seen absolutely nothing about my family in the months I have been on the list. Of course, I'm at fault since I only posted in the very beginning and didn't repeat. I did notice that the response to you included the whole message....again! Thanks for your remarks. When you have several lines your following this makes for an awful lot of reading. Good thing we have the delete button.

Had a visit from a good friend, descended from Moss Ellis HUNT of Monroe County, TN, whom we believe to be part of THE 14. She says that her folks were very strict Quakers, which I was not familiar with in TN. Does anyone have any info on this??? Where would I go to get records in TN?? Thanks Zou Feagin

Even if this is not your direct line, it is very educational to see the process of eliminating and reviewing evidence. Keep it up!!! Thanks Zou Feagin

Dear Y'All, Here's my 3 cents worth. I look forward each morning to the Hunt List mail and just know that one day I will find "our" Hunts. There is so much to learn and it is nice to know how to interpert the records. I have enjoyed the discussions, please continue. Here is the line of Hunt's I spend at least 2 hours every morning looking for; your help would be appreciated. Here is my "brick wall". What I don't know: where to find H.H. Hunt, listed on his sons death certificate as being from Lexington, KY. What I do know: Henry Hardin Hunt (the son) b: Lexington, KY, May 22, 1857 d: San Antonio, TX, November 9, 1924 Married: 1st, Mary Ann Wurzell, June 15, 1883 2nd, Lillian Berault, 1922 Mary Ann Wurzell, b: May 12, 1860 in Marietta, Ohio (formally Union Township) d: Henry H. and Mary Ann Hunt had 10 children: Joseph Harvy b: 1884 d: 1885 Preston Henry b: 1885 d: 1920 Kathrine Agnes b: 1889 d: 1969 Twins: Irene Delores b: 1892 d: Curtis Roff b: 1892 d: 1984 Mary Isabel b: 1894 d: 1978 Josephine b: 1895 d: Twins: Hazel Stella b: 1897 d: 1976 Mary Pearl b: 1897 d: 1980 Cornielia Elma b: 1900 d: Any information would be greatly appreciated.

These discussions are great! When I start to read something and it doesnt' apply or I'm not interested in, I just delete it. But please don't deprive us of information that we might need and enjoy. As with TV - If folks don't like what they are watching, they can change channels, but please don't censor what the rest of us want to watch. Thanks to all of you for the good info you provide to this list.

I just wish to let Felicia and Fleetwood know that I have enjoyed this discussion, as have so many others. I love this Hunt List and enjoy reading all postings whether they relate to my direct Hunt line or not. Courtney Tompkins, Sandy Hunt, Glenn Railsback, III, and Harold Schertner, and others on this list have been so helpful to me in my Hunt research. I thank all of you!

Me too. I concur with Kay. I've learned much and find it interesting. Our geographical areas from which we come (or our ancestors) should interest us, esp. if an ancestor has described such thinking it would be understood where he lived. How did he know his letter would survive? LOL Not only that but I've been able to draw my Dad into this discussion, which is often difficult to do. He said he remembers them well, and asked if anyone had told me about the hook on the end of their tail. When I pressed for more information he just said he was saving it for Friday night discussion when we go to see him. Not everything we say or write will interest us -- that's when I hit the Delete key. Also my brother breeds snakes and I had never heard of this one. Now if only you can help me find my Tennessee Hunts. LOL Bernice At 04:56 PM 07/26/1999 -0700, K.

Jean, Are you sure it was Cleveland, NC? My Hunts are all (or at least the ones I know) from TN and NC, but primarily within Polk and Bradley Counties. Cleveland, TN is within Bradley. To the point, I have seen a Kinchen Hunt listed somewhere on the Bradley Co Web page (or a link of it). Could this be your Kinchen Hunt? I'm not sure if he is related to me, but I would bet on it since most of the Hunts in that area are. I just have to connect the dots. My grandfather was James Harrison "Harris" Hunt. I recently sent a family tree of the Hunt line to the Hunt list but as of yet I've gotten no responses nor even heard if it was received. If you need I can forward it.

It is too bad that some folks have to bring their freeway manners onto this list. I, for one, am always interested in what dedicated researchers have to discuss. I hope that people who don't like this sort of thing will just go away and let the rest of us learn from those who know more than we. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
