Maryann, I sent a message to the McElroy message board regarding the 1790 Census. Do you know how accurate this is? I am stuck on getting info on my grgrgrandfather: John McElroy who was born in Georgia in 1807 and died in Miss in 1876. If the census is accurate, then I can start from those 6 men and work forward instead of backwards. I believe once I can link my John to one on the 1790 census, I can go further back. Pls advise soonest, Thanks BTW, you are doing an excellent job maintaining this board. Thanks -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 2:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MCELROY-L] Brickwalls We have recently had several new subscription to the McElroy list. Welcome to all the newcomers. Since many of us have not posted for a while (summer is always slow), I would like to get the ball rolling by re-posting our McElroy brick walls. These can be McElroys, or derivations or different spellings of the name, or associated lines that have married into the McElroy family. You never know if someone out there has solved that particular problem, you know. Maybe you don't have a brick wall, but just want to share your information? That is fine also. Please remember to put the first names of your McElroys (by any spelling) in the subject line along with the dates (as close as you can approximate them) and the area in which they were living or came from. Don't want to post your McElroys? Then post a web site address that has been of especial help to you lately. We are always looking for help in our research. Regardless, I want to wish each of you a wonderful Autumn and the best of luck in your research.
