From the NCLIVE web site: Sanborn Maps for the state of North Carolina provides digital access to 11,173 large-scale maps of 158 North Carolina towns and cities. Users have the ability to easily manipulate the maps, magnify and zoom in on specific sections, and compare maps from different years. Ruth Ann Copley rcopley@triad.rr.com

I've had a couple of questions from folks about the Sanborn Maps on NCLIVE so I thought I'd revisit the maps issue again. As I wrote in my earlier email: If you are a NC resident and have a borrower's card from your local public library or institution of higher learning, you can get access to the Sanborn Maps for Lexington 1887-1948, and for Thomasville 1908-1938, through NCLIVE online. You can print them out as well as look at them online, zooming in on your desired "territory." Many other NC towns are also included, so if you have other towns you'd like to research then you might find the detailed maps here. Once you get the secret word (BTW it will change in August 2004) from your local NC library the easiest way is to click on the Browse Resources tab across the top and then choose Alphabetic and click on the S to be taken to the Sanborn Maps link. Under Browse Resources it is also possible to find under Subject and Type pick Primary Sources. NCLIVE takes you to an E-Z Search page automatically as a Home page, just click on the Browse tab instead. Here's a repeat of the other info about Sanborn Maps from my previous message: "Sanborn fire insurance maps are the most frequently consulted maps in both public and academic libraries. Sanborn maps are valuable historical tools for urban specialists, social historians, architects, geographers, genealogists, local historians, planners, environmentalists and anyone who wants to learn about the history, growth, and development of American cities, towns, and neighborhoods. They are large-scale plans containing data that can be used to estimate the potential risk for urban structures. This includes information such as the outline of each building, the size, shape and construction materials, heights, and function of structures, location of windows and doors. The maps also give street names, street and sidewalk widths, property boundaries, building use, and house and block numbers. Seven or eight different editions represent some areas." Happy Hunting! Ruth Ann Copley rcopley@triad.rr.com P.S. Those of you who live in NC: If you find NCLIVE useful, let your state representatives and senators know how much you appreciate their continued funding of this wonderful statewide resource. As you know, the legislature just passed the budget and there was NCLIVE funding included!

From looking on these boards, I can find Ephraim, and his father Thomas, and all the family that goes with them. I have not been able to find the children of Ephraim.

Copies are $6.00 each and there is an additional charge for packaging (mailing tube from the P.O.) plus postage. It would probably be between $10-12. It's been a while since we sent one out. If you believe something available on a specific Sanborn map and would like to have us (the library staff) print out the pages we would be glad to do so. We charge $1.00 per page plus postage and handing to send out 8 1/2 x 11 sheets. I am cc'ing a staff member, Gail Marsh, who works at our Thomasville location; since I am now library director, and I work in our headquarters library in the county seat, Lexington, which. by the way, has a wonderful genealogy resources room. Let Gail or me know if you would like to order the map and we'll send it along. We can find the total price so you'll know how much to write the check for the Thomasville Library .

From another mailing list. --------- Forwarded message ---------- I write a genealogy column for our local papers, and my last one was on Naming Patterns ... here's a bit from it that might explain some of what you are asking - note in particular, the "patronymic" system, which was followed more or less by the Irish, and others. (Also check out the Welsh!) I'm sure there is more to naming patterns, I just thought this was interesting. :) I apologize if someone here is on another mailing list, where I recently posted the same bit from my column. Phyllis Generally, there are four main types of naming patterns. The most common is the patronymic system, which involves taking the father’s name (both given and surname). Names were also derived from occupation (Barber), by locality (Forest), or acquired by the use of nicknames. Nicknames could refer to personal characteristics such as skin color (White), size (Little), morals (Goodson), habits (Walker), or could be given without any particular reason (Polly for Mary). The Italians, English, Scottish, and the Irish generally used the patronymic system (with variations): The first son was named after the father’s father; second son after the mother’s father. Third son was named after the father, fourth son after the father’s eldest (or only) brother, and fifth son after the mother’s eldest (or only) brother. The first daughter was named after the mother’s mother; second daughter after the father’s mother. Third daughter was named after the mother, fourth daughter after the mother’s eldest (or only) sister, and fifth daughter after the father’s eldest (or only) sister. In addition to patronymics, the Scottish also had surnames patterned after localities (Galloway), occupations (Cooper – barrel maker), and nicknames (Campbell – crooked mouth). The Scots frequently used the prefix ‘Mac’ to denote ‘son of’ (MacDonald), while the Irish used the prefix ‘O’ (O’Donald). Note: the prefix ‘Mc’ (McDonald) or “ M’ ” (M’Donald) is merely a contraction for ‘Mac’. The Welsh naming system was patronymic like the English, but with a twist: the children took their father’s given name as their surname. This caused surnames to change from generation to generation, a genealogist’s worst nightmare. Under this system, Evan, the son of Thomas William, would be known as Evan Thomas; his son John would be John Evan; John’s son Rees would be Rees John; Rees’s son David would be David Rees; and so on. Sometimes, the Welsh would string their names together with the word ‘ap’, which means ‘son of’ – so David Rees might be David ap Rees ap John ap Evan ap Thomas ap William. The Welsh also sometimes incorporated ‘ap’ into a surname. In this way Owen could become Bowen (son of Owen); Richard could become Prichard (son of Richard); Evan could be Bevan; and Huw or Hugh could become Pugh. The Germans and the French (and other cultures) gave their children two given names at baptism: the first given name was a spiritual, or favorite saint’s name. The second given name was a secular name, which is the name the person was known by. The same saint’s name would be given to all the children of the same gender, with the secular name differing. For example, at baptism the girls might be given the names Marie Louise Chenet, Marie Aimee Chenet, and Marie Lillian Chenet. But after Baptism, they would be known as Louise, Aimee, and Lillian Chenet. This is important to know when you are searching. If you find a baptism record for Marie Louise Chenet, you might spend a lot of time searching for other records for Marie Chenet, when they would probably be found under the name Louise Chenet, as she was known to the world. The Germans also added prefixes and suffixes to their surnames, to denote gender, localities, and occupations. For example, the word ‘Forst’ means a forest; adding ‘er’ or ‘ner’ (Forster, Forstner) would mean one who works in a forest, works with timber, or is from a forest. The prefix ‘in’ denotes that the person is a female; so the surname Forsterin would indicate that the person from the forest is a female. Can someone tell me the origin of the custom of naming order, ie: >The first male child was named after the paternal grandfather.The second male >child was named after the maternal grandfather. The first female child was >named after the paternal grandmother, the second female child named after the >maternal grandmother, etc. >Is this strictly an Irish custom? >Sara > > ______________________________
