Re: FANNIN I keep seeing this name. (No relation.) Wonder if the FANNIN researchers know about FANNIN Co., Texas and for whom it's named. I'm just curious because some of the BERTRAM (a.k.a. BUTRAM, BUTTRAM, etc.) and YOUNG ancestors migrated there. Sincerely, Anna BERTRAM <fbertram@hotcom.net>

SUZANNE, SEND ME AN E-MAIL DIRECT TO LEADINGHAM@AOL.COM FOR FANNIN INFORMATION. I GO BACK THROUGH THE STEWART LINE TO ABSOLUME STEWART WHO MARRIED AMY FANNIN DAUTHER OF JOHN D. FANNIN AND MRS. KEZIAH. JOHN D. FANNIN AND MR.S KEZIAH ARE MY GREAT-GREAT-GREAT GRAND PARENTS. MY WIFE BETTY DORIS FANNIN AND I HAVE THE SAME G-G-GGRAND PARENTS, WHAT ARE THE ODDS ON THAT??? PAUL LEADINGHAM.

I am researching Fannins for my college son. He is grandson of Betty Fannin Bloomfield(Camp Dix) her father was Orville(1902-1962 Lewis Co) he was son of James Fannin (Carter?Lewis Co),his brothers were Llyod,Lennie,Ersel,Everett,Kermit (some in Lewis Co,some in Morris,Ind).Does any of these connect?

Paul, How do the Fannin's fit in with you? My aunt, Mary Tackett, married Lonnie Fannin.

Carter and Greenup Researchers, I found an interesting link today while searching for a GIF image of a Civil War flag. http://californiacentralcoast.com/commun/map/civil/south/conflag/southflg.html This site shows the evolution of the CSA flag. Prior to my visit to this site, I was only familiar with the last version or the "Southern Cross" version of the CSA flag. You might want to check out the "Civil War Exhibit" at the bottom of the page as it has a lot of valuable information. Thanks, Darrell -- Darrell Smith dsmith@mis.net

Looking for information on the SANDERS family. ELIJAH BRETON SANDERS married GENEVA GARVEY and had 4 children, Clarabelle Sanders Margaret Sanders Eugene Sanders Richard Sanders All of the children were born in Paducah, Kentucky around the 1912 timeframe. I am located in New Orleans, La. and Margaret Sanders was my mother. Any help given will be greatly appreciated as this is my brickwall. Elijah's death certificate (1917 in New Orleans, La.) says he was born in Russell, Ky. Geneva Garvey's parents were Thomas A. Garvey and Sarah Atkinson, both from Indiana. Thanks again Adrien adrien@stargazer.net

I am searching for a marriage certificate number and date for a marriage between a John W. Nelson and a Martha Hancock. Probably in Greenup and probably around 1946. I also need a divorce certificate number and date for this couple. This is to try to help a lady in AZ that was married to this man for 39 years and now needs to prove he was married and divorced before marrying her. The Gentelman died in 1997 in AZ.

Carter and Greenup Researchers, I just spoke with an official regarding death records for ancestors in the State of WV. The WvGenWeb reports that WV Death Records are available from 01 Jan 1920 to present. I have been informed that records are available dating from 1853 (at local courthouses/where available). Death records stored at the archives are available from 1917 to the 1970's. If you want to order a death record for someone that died in WV from 1917 to the 1970's and you live outside of WV, do the following. 1. Make a check payable to DIVISION OF CULTURE AND HISTORY for $10 (includes out of state research fee, certificate fee, etc.) 2. Send a written request (no phone orders at this time) to: ARCHIVES and HISTORY LIBRARY CULTURAL CENTER 1900 KANAWHA BLVD, EAST CHARLESTON, WV 25305-0300 3. Include a self addressed stamp envelope so they can return your record. 3. I assume you should at least include the following information with your request. 1. INDIVIDUALS FULL NAME 2. INDIVIDUALS DATE OF DEATH 3. INDIVIDUALS COUNTY OF DEATH 4. OTHER HELPFUL TIDBITS OF INFO, BUT NOT YOUR WHOLE FAMILY TREE :-) I hope this is helpful. Thanks, Darrell -- Darrell Smith dsmith@mis.net

Just did a quick look and found where a Jasper Stanley married a Polly Fraley on 17 June, 1862 and a Jasper N. Stanley married a Lucy Jane Vickers on 29 Nov. 1878 I will check later to see if I have anything else.

Carter and Greenup Researchers, I received a lot of thank you notes regarding my previous post on searching for Kentucky death certificates. I also received a lot of questions about how and where to order these records. Therefore, I will try to document the necessary information below. 1. Consistent vital records weren't kept in KY until 1911. However, some records are available back to the mid 1850's but these vary from county to county. If older records are available for your county, you will likely find them at the county courthouse or at the State Archives in Frankfort, KY. There's a wonderful "handbook" available that will explain the types of resources available for research in each of KY's 120 counties. You should check with your local library for the book listed below: Title: Kentucky Ancestry : A Guide to Genealogical and Historical Research Author: Roseann Reinemuth Hogan ISBN: 0916489493 You can order this item from Amazon Books at http://www.amazon.com (Search for Kentucky Ancestry) for $19.95. 2. The KY Office of Vital Statistics has birth and death records from Jan 1911 to present and marriage records from Jun 1958 to present. You may access their Web site at http://cfc-chs.chr.state.ky.us/vital.htm Birth records are $9.00 each while death, marriage and divorce records are $6.00 each. Certificate applications are available in Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf) or you can order records by telephone/credit card from 8 AM to 3 PM at (502) 564-4212. 3. If you are looking for death records for the years of 1911-1946, I recommend an alternate route. Death records during this time period are available on microfilm from - the State Archives in Frankfort (cost = photocopy rate per page) This is a great method if you have a lot of certificates and can make the drive. - some local libraries and historical centers (cost = photocopy rate per page) This is another great source if you can make the drive. Also, some libraries will do lookups for you as long as they are within limits. Typically, you only have to pay the photocopy fee and the cost of a stamp and envelope. - Researchers on the Internet (usually $3 per certificate) This is a wonderful way to get certificates when you live far away or if you only have a small number of certificates that you need. Most Internet researchers charge $3 per copy which is still half price compared to the Office of Vital Statistics. Researchers on the Internet that will lookup death certificates (that I know of) include: Pam Carey Durstock - http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/ky-dcert.html I have used Pam's service and found it to be wonderful! Pam charges $3 per record. However, she donates 1/2 of the money to the USGenWeb Project. Jessie Hagan - http://kyssar.hypermart.net/kyvital.htm I have not used this service, but Jessie is listed on the KyGenWeb page and I have listened to folks who are satisfied with his service on the KYRoots Discussion List many times. Both researchers appreciate you sending them the index information for all deaths between 1911 to 1946. You can track down the index data using the tool housed at the University of Kentucky - http://ukcc.uky.edu/~vitalrec/ I also noticed this morning that Tom Crain - Aahyup@aol.com will search the Birth Index. However, I'm unsure of his rates at this time. - The Office of Vital Statistics I only use this resource when the dates I need fall after 1946. If you have a lot of certificates that you need this can get costly fast! 4. I do know that both Carter and Greenup have vital records prior to 1911. Most of these records list an individuals name (middle if you're lucky), age at death, date of death or if it's a birth, month (maybe a day, maybe not) and year, parents names (almost always on births, sometimes not on deaths). You can order microfilm for each counties vitals. Greenup County's Web site provides a listing of some research materials available from LDS on microfilm at http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygreenu/film.html Some film may be purchased and others accessed via a local LDS Family History Center. I hope these tips prove to be helpful. I also must apologize to those individuals who belong to both the Carter and Greenup lists as you will receive this message two times because I'm posting to both lists. I would like to see more correspondence on these lists in the future. Networking and sharing ideas about what works and what fails with genealogy is very helpful ... at least for me :-) I would also like to hear tips from other researchers on how to find good information on your ancestors. I often fall into the "rut" of using the same resources to lookup information, when I'm sure a lot of different records exist that I could use to expand my database on individuals. However, I'm either unaware of the material or untrained on how to take advantage. Thank you, Darrell Smith -- Darrell Smith dsmith@mis.net

Carter and Greenup researchers, Good afternoon. I wanted to let everyone know that the Kentucky Death Index at the University of Kentucky as been upgraded! You can now search by given and surname as well as limit the county! Warning! Be sure to read the directions for the page. I searched for 5 or 6 names in Carter County and the search engine continued to return results for all KY counties. I almost gave up, but then I noticed you could access a list for places of death. Carter is CARTR and Greenup is GRNUP Once I used the correct syntax my queries worked just fine! Also, make sure that the second drop down dialog box contains the phrase "Place of Death" before you enter the death county in the second dialog box or it will not work. I accidentally entered CARTR in the second dialog box but forgot to set the drop down box to the left of the input field. You can also search by Residence at the time of death, but Place of Death generally yields higher results. I have ordered over 100 certificates in the past and was on a dry spell, until this morning. In about 30 minutes I located 20 more to order :-) Give it a try at http://ukcc.uky.edu/%7evitalrec/ I have also learned a few tips when searching for ancestors. 1. Try variations of the surname: Example: Colley/Coley/Collie You'll be surprised how many times you find an ancestor with a varient spelling 2. If you can't find a person you know should be listed, try searching with just the first letter of the first name. Example: Instead of John Stephens, try J Stephens You'll be surprised how many times they'll be listed as J L Stephens 3. Don't use periods, they simply don't help Example: John L. Smith should just be John L Smith 4. Don't search for full names. Most records are only listed by first and last name. In close, don't give up easily! I searched for an Abraham Maddix one day for almost a half hour before I found him. His name was spelled with the Maddix varient. However, his given name was spelled Abehram [sic]! If you still have no luck finding your ancestor, try adjacent states. Folks in North Eastern Kentucky would be wise to check OH (Scioto and Lawrence) and WV (Cabell) as our ancestors moved back and forth from those areas (and others). Thanks and good luck!
