Hi List, I'm new to this list and genealolgy. Most of the people I'm researching are from the Lincoln County-St. Charles County area, from the Civil War to the 1920 Census. I can't wait for the release of the 1930 Census! Most seem to be Afro-American or mulatto. There are a lot of girls, consequently a lot of surnames, sorry. BALL, WATTS, WILLIAMS, STEWARD, ROBINSON, HAYDEN, LANIER, LUCAS, JAMISON, MCROBERTS, ROBERTSON, FORD, MAJORS, WHITESIDE, STEWART, GREEN, HINES, SMITH, MITCHELL, BRAXTON, VANCE, HARVEY, TERRY, CANNON. After the 1920's some moved to St. Louis and married: ENDERS, ALEXANDER, LISK. tia, Valerie Lisk 72723.2326@compuserve.com
