========================================= Meredith Thompson mere@augustmoondesign.com alternate e-mail: mere_thom@runbox.com Indiana Genealogical Society Newsletter editor & website manager http://www.indgensoc.org <http://www.indgensoc.org/> ========================================= Midwestern Roots 2005: Family History and Genealogy Conference Indianapolis - Some of the nation's leading genealogy professionals will present at Midwestern Roots 2005: Family History and Genealogy Conference, August 18-20 in Indianapolis. Midwestern Roots, co-sponsored by the Indiana Historical Society and the Indiana Genealogical Society, will feature over 30 presentations covering topics ranging from finding female ancestors, census substitutes, family food traditions and German SS records to baptismal records, preserving family papers, genetics and more. Optional pre-conference activities on Thursday, August 18, range from tours of the William Henry Smith Memorial Library, the Indiana State Library and the Indiana State Archives to writing workshops on preparing family histories for publication, computer labs on genealogy resources available on the internet and a workshop designed for library staff and volunteers who answer questions from genealogy patrons. The Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library and the Indiana History Center Smith Library also will stay open late for extended research hours. Other activities include a lively panel discussion bringing together genealogists and historians to answer the question, "History and Genealogy: Why Not Both?" The evening will begin with a dessert reception at the Indiana History Center followed by a discussion with nationally-renowned historical genealogists Elizabeth Shown Mills and Curt B. Witcher, Indiana historian James H. Madison and migration historian Marianne S. Wokeck, who will explore how these fields can enrich each other, from uncovering the slightest detail of one life to seeing human history more clearly because of that life. On Friday, August 19, the conference will begin with the opening session by Mills. Mills will explain the standards and processes all researchers need to apply when using family history and genealogical sources. Friday will conclude with a banquet and Mills will give a presentation that encourages taking what is learned about ancestors and conveying it to descendants. On Saturday morning, Madison will begin the day by considering the various migration streams that settled the Midwest and show how their origins, timing and cultural features helped make the region a distinctive part of the nation. Other notable national speakers include genealogists John S. Humphrey, Diane Gagel, Elizabeth Kelley Kerstens, Tony Burroughs and Kandie Adkinson. The Indiana Historical Society and the Indiana Genealogical Society will offer six scholarships for individuals to attend the conference. The scholarship application can be found at <outbind://15/cwood/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/OLKD/www.i ndianahistory.org/midwesternroots> www.indianahistory.org/midwesternroots.

Colonial Episcopal clergy "read" for their orders, which usually meant not a university education but studying theology with a well-seasoned pastor, who then vouched for the candidate when it came time for ordination. However, to be ordained, one had to go to England--- only a Bishop could ordain a priest or deacon. The clergy in Virginia were under the auspices of the Bishop of London. So they had to go to London and present themselves for any examination that the Bishop thought suitable, & then hopefully be ordained. Ordination included a loyalty oath to the British crown.

Finding the birthplace of any colonial Virginian is going to be QUITE difficult--unless you were a Washington family member or of similar rank. Most early Virginians came over as indentured servants (and those who survived were lucky to get here, considering the conditions in England for poor folks!!!). Landon C. Bell, deceased, was a compiler of many books of Lunenburg Co. I believe he also compiled some church records for Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg Co. A now defunct publishing company, TLC Genealogy, abstracted many books of deeds for Lunenburg Co. These books are at Family History Library Salt Lake City and probably at DAR Library in Washington, DC--and probably at a few libraries between. Go to the Family History Library and do an author search for Landon C. Bell, and you may find, as did I, that several of his books have been filmed. The films can be borrowed for a small fee, for a short time, through a nearby LDS family history center. On the other hand, take a printed list of his books to your local librarian and see whether an Interlibrary (ILL) loan can be effected. Worth your time to learn about this. As I remember, Lunenburg Co. was formed from Brunswick Co., so you may have to search there also. (I cannot remember whether it is Stephen Bradley or A. B. Pruitt who has done some land record research of this area of Virginia.) It may be worthwhile to make a telephone call to the Reference desk of the Library of Virginia and ask whether all Anglican priests in Virginia got their training in England. They were supposed to, I believe, but---who knows? On the frontier, anything could happen. E.W.Wallace whose collateral Rev. John Williams of Meherrin Baptist Church was of colonial Lunenburg Co.

Thanks for the information reguarding Cora (Campbell) Willoughby with LDS recommendation. I have found some info thru LDS. Unfortunately, not much. But I am still exploring. In addition to finding out more about Cora, I'm trying to prove indian heritage on the Willoughby side of the family, possible Mohawk or Cherokee. I believe Cora might be the link I'm looking for. I've gone into a few of the rolls and found a (2) Cora Campbell listings-one indicating a parent and the other showing her as a 11 month child possible living in a household other than her father. I haven't be able to get parents names yet. However, I did find Cora Campbell in the Kentucky Death records. Which I plan on sending off for. Thanks again for the suggestions. Any more information or suggestions are appreciated. Cathy

This information may not be of much help in your search for Campbell origins, but you might try looking for Cora Campbell, born in Kentucky (county seems not to be specified in the search) in the online 1880 census index. This index for the 1880 census [you cannot see the image of the census unless you pay a fee to Ancestry.com] is located on this URL: familysearch.org (Be sure to spell family in familysearch.org quite carefully. There is an imposter website which has a double L and if you are not careful you get that usurper. I hate it!!! It seems like a scam to me. This usurper is a pay-per-view or some such device. Again, I hate it!) Next step in your online search: On the first page of the familysearch.org website, look for the image of the old-fashioned couple [their dress is old-fashioned]. Under that image, look for the phrase: vast collection [or some such--it used to be vast databases] A drop-down menu will come up: Choose census, which is about the second choice. Choose among the censuses the US 1880 census. (There are two other censuses--British and Canadian.) Type in your search terms, but don't give the search engine too many choices--it gets confused. Type in Cora Campbell, approximate birthdate, but give a range of about ten years. Type in Kentucky as the birthplace and also as the census state. (At first, I typed in John Campbell in Kentucky in 1880--176 or so hits!!!) Up will come about six Cora Campbells [lots of Campbells in Kentucky in 1880]. Look at all of the listed Coras, and see if one is your candidate Cora Campbell. When you find a likely candidate, click on the link and then after you find a likely person, look over at the right for the link to Household. Household will list [transcription] all the members of that household in which Cora is a resident, assuming she is a child. If I remember correctly, the census-taker asks each person enumerated where his parents (both father and mother) were born. Do not overlook this information. Sometimes this will give you a good lead on the birthplaces of the parents of each child. Note the birthplace of each child, as the family may have migrated from elsewhere to land in Kentucky--perhaps NC, PA, TN, or even IN. I am not sure how accurate this transcription is. The LDS did this work several years ago before outsourcing to other countries became the M.O. of all computer-oriented companies. (I saw my apple juice came from New Zealand and/or China!!!) If you are near an LDS family history center, you may want to check the Family History Library Catalog for filmed records for Montgomery Co. and other nearby counties. I find Kentucky tax records (real estate) are sometimes a good substitute for censuses, and even the early ones give you some good leads about your families. Some of the later ones will even tell you how many school age children are in the home. By the way, there is on the LDS website (familysearch.org) some research guides for all the United States and many foreign countries. These guides are excellent tools for helping you locate some appropriate documents (records) to search for your families. They will tell you of records which you may not have thought of. I have done a LOT of my research of various Kentucky counties by borrowing film from Salt Lake City through my nearby LDS center. I hope you have one near your home. Also, check with your local public library about 1) interlibrary loan of books - you sometimes have to read these books in the library, not being able to check them out and 2) whether they have any subscriptions to online databases for genealogists--such as HeritageQuest [not all the censuses are on this database] or Ancestry.com or genealogy.com Old county histories, although full of misinformation, give you some leads at times on how the county was formed, who the important citizens were, sometimes even give you early marriage records, and info which you will NOT find elsewhere. I found one of my ancestors in Jackson Purchase was the first gaoler [jailer] for one of the first counties in that area (ca 1823) Happy hunting! I had folks who were for a time in Montgomery Co. but ended up in Bath Co. E.W.Wallace

Looking for information on Cora (Campbell) Willoughby born in Wolfe Co, Ky about 1877/1879. She married Elijah Willoughby, Montgomery Co, KY. Both Cora and Elijah (Lige) Willoughby are buried in Willoughby Town. Any information would be appreciated.
