Hi everyone. I don't always catch it when we get a new list member, but this one just happens to be one of my many cousins, and I'm the one who told her to get on the list. Welcome to Tracy Jones. Tracy's G-G-G-G-grandfather, Richard Tubb Moore was brother to my G-G-grandfather, George Washington Moore. Tracy, you have several other cousins on this list. Gaylon Powell and Gloria & Troy Coplen are related to the Moores through the Copelands. Bobby Bayles is related through William McClelland Moore (another brother of RT and GW). There is at least one lady, if not two, on the list who I think are direct descendants of Richard Tubb Moore. Speak up ladies, and accept my apologies for not being able to remember your names. I vowed I wasn't going to work on my personal genealogy until we reached my goal of getting all the censuses on the archives, but we're getting darned close!! Alice Ogles has hers finished (was it 1880, Alice?), Bruce Odom has the 1840 finished, and Shawn Martin and I are 3 wards away from having the 1920 transcribed and 5 wards away from having it proofed. Shawn and her daughter and transcribing and proofing the 1870. The folks up at GenWeb just have to get busy and put our stuff on the Archives. But I got so bored with the census over the holidays, and so fascinated with a new genealogy program I got that I've spent considerable time getting most of my people re-entered (some of you may recall my genealogy program crashed shortly after I took over the Union Parish Archives, and my back-up file would not allow me to open it! What good is a back-up file you can't get into?), and had just started to work on the Moores when I got a communique from Tracy, who found us on the Archives. Well, I'm determined to get all my Moores and Cooks re-entered and start working on finding the current generations. I don't have much beyond the book "The Canon Creek Moores of Newberry Co, SC" which was published way back in 1961. Lord, that's the year my oldest son was born, and he's 40 now!! Have I really been doing genealogy that long? Roy Austin 1 - aren't the Moores and the Austins related? and 2 - remember the question you posed for all of us not too long ago? about who was going to fall heir to and love and treasure the mounds of data we've accumulated through the years? My youngest daughter recently volunteered for the job. You could have knocked me over with a feather. Anyway, I'll keep plugging away on the archives until we get all the censuses up (by then the 1930 will be available, but that can be somebody else's problem), but in the meantime, I'm going to get to work on my Cooks and Moores, while not neglecting my Mabrys and Copelands - so come on out of the woodwork, cousins, tell Tracy how you connect!
