OK Here's another surname that was thrown at me today via my grandmother in relation to the Roses. Can anyone tell me a) if it's spelled correctly (we all know I can't spell,LOL) and b) didn't this name just come across the list? They are tied in through "Bill" (I'm assuming William) Rose and "Aunt Puss" Stancil. Heck of a nickname, eh? She was baptized in Bethany Baptist Church. Is that in Johnston or Wilson? Thanks a zillion Crystal

Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter A Weekly Summary of Events and Topics of Interest to Online Genealogists Vol. 4 No. 23 - June 5, 1999 This newsletter is sponsored by Ancestry Publishing, a leader in providing print and electronic research information to genealogists. To learn about Ancestry's state-of-the-art online genealogy databases and other fine products, visit the Ancestry HomeTown at: http://www.ancestry.com Past issues of this Newsletter are available at: http://www.ancestry.com/columns/eastman/index.htm ========================================================== Copyright (C) 1999 by Richard W. Eastman. All rights reserved. ============================================================ ============================================================ - New Advanced Search Page at Ancestry.Com Speaking of Ancestry's Web site, the following announcement appeared this week in the company's "Ancestry Daily News", edited by Juliana Smith: Searching for Ancestors on Ancestry.com just got easier. The advanced search page on Ancestry.com has been redesigned to give users more control. Before today the advanced search allowed users to search by given name, surname, and keyword. Searches could be made more specific by setting the proximity search feature, limiting how close keywords could appear together, by specifying a geographic location, and/or by searching only a specific type of record. As the number of databases on Ancestry grows ever larger, the need for researchers to focus their searching also increases. To this end, the redesigned search page allows users to: ~ Filter searches by a date range and by Soundex coding ~ Keep track of new databases with a posted notice of features and database additions ~ Browse the available databases by State, Country, and record type ~ Browse the Internet with GenPageFinder, Ancestry's genealogy- specific search engine. You can perform advanced searches at: http://www.ancestry.com/advsearch.htm You can also click on "Advanced" just below the "Search" button on the home page, or select "Search Center" on the menu just below the Ancestry graphic at the top of the page. By the way, the Ancestry Daily News is my second favorite newsletter. (Hey! I'm biased in favor of my own.) I know the difficulties of producing a weekly newsletter; I have no idea how Juliana produces one every single business day. She does a great job.

The following is rumor and speculation; please treat it as such: Messages are floating around the online world about an upcoming beta test for Personal Ancestral File 4.0. The rumors say it will be a Windows program, unlike the earlier MS-DOS versions. One version of the rumor says that Personal Ancestral File 4.0 will be developed by an outside commercial company, not by the LDS Church's programming staff. Truth or fiction? I don't know, but this rumor bears watching. ============================================================ ============================================================ - Publishing Your Family History on the Internet Richard S. Wilson has published a new book entitled "Publishing Your Family History on the Internet." Mr. Wilson previously co- authored "The Internet for Genealogists: A Beginner's Guide." The earlier book described the use of the Internet for genealogy in very broad terms. The newer book, however, takes one particular topic and explores it in depth. "Publishing Your Family History on the Internet" guides the reader through the process of creating a personal genealogy web site, including how to set up the web pages, how to locate a site, and how to place your family history on the web. It also gives advice on how to advertise your site so that others will find it. The book also includes step-by-step instructions for creating web pages in a variety of genealogy programs, including Ancestral Quest, Family Origins, Family Tree Maker, Legacy, Generations, The Master Genealogist and Ultimate Family Tree. He also describes utilities that will convert GEDCOM files to HTML format, suitable for uploading to a web site. Wilson also writes about privacy concerns and the need to make sure that both the privacy laws and your relatives' rights to privacy are maintained. To help insure privacy, Wilson describes three utilities that strip improper data from GEDCOM files: GEDClean, GEDPrivy and Res Privata. The book's Table of Contents lists the following chapters: * Why Publish Your Family History on the Internet? * Easing Into the Language of Web Pages * Converting Your Genealogical Data in Minutes * Putting it all Together * Transferring Your Pages onto the Internet * Web Sites Where You Can Learn More * Advertising Your New Web Site * Advanced Topics * HTML Codes * Complete Glossary One section that interested me was a chart showing the results of converting a genealogy database to HTML using different programs. Wilson started with a GEDCOM file containing information about 218 people and 76 marriages. This file was imported into each of the genealogy programs he listed, then converted to HTML format. He also did a direct GEDCOM-to-HTML conversion using the various utilities mentioned earlier. The results varied widely: * The total number of HTML pages created by the different programs and utilities varied from 2 to 78 pages. * The total size of those web pages varied from 45 kilobytes to 1.27 megabytes. * Some programs inserted graphics into the resulting HTML pages while others did not. * Some programs automatically hid information about living individuals while others did not. * All of the regular genealogy programs included text notes, but two of the GEDCOM-to-HTML utilities did not. * Some of the programs could generate pedigree charts, family group sheets and book format reports, yet others only published the data as simple textual information. * The same is true for photographs: some programs could insert them into the web pages while others did not. Wilson depicts all of the above data and more in a simple, easy- to-read chart that compares the capabilities of each program against its competitors. I found that "Publishing Your Family History on the Internet" was well written in simple English, not in techno-babble. If you are thinking about publishing your genealogy information on the World Wide Web, you will find this 340-page paperback book to be useful. "Publishing Your Family History on the Internet" costs $19.99 plus tax (for California residents only) and shipping.

<<<>>><<<>> Editor's Note: The following article, first published in Ancestry Newsletter (5:2, Mar/Apr 1987, pp. 1-3), has been edited and adapted for "The Ancestry Daily News." Since the article appeared, the revised edition of "Ancestry's Red Book," edited by the author of this article, has become one of the most important tools in American family history research. In a poll published in the January 1999 issue of "Family Chronicle" magazine, librarians and book distributors ranked "Ancestry's Red Book" as one of the top ten genealogy publications. It is one of today's featured product specials and you can now get it in the Online Store for only $29.95, along with a free fifteen-generation pedigree chart. (http://shop.ancestry.com/ancestry/anredbook1.html) <<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>><<<>>> When our ancestors arrived on the sandy shores of New England over three hundred years ago, they brought with them some very advanced thinking about governmental life, which was to become the foundation of democracy in the United States. Unlike their "cousins" who settled the South in aristocratic fashion, New Englanders devised the concept of town in uniquely historic ways. The town meeting as the major form of government still remains in Vermont. But the vestiges of town government still remain in various forms in all of the New England states. Genealogical researchers in the South, Midwest, and West, where city and county divisions are the unit of government, often find it hard to adapt their research skills to the town unit with its primary source material. Here are some helpful guidelines for orienting research in New England. The six New England states have undergone several changes regarding the recording of primary source material--vital records, probate, and land records. How those records were maintained originally may be quite different today. For that reason, a brief description of each state's town records follows. New England research particularly requires the use of a map of each state's town structure. (Editor's note: "Ancestry's Red Book" contains maps of each of the New England States showing administrative divisions, and tables indicating town addresses, date formed and parent town, the county in which the town is located, and the location and starting dates of probate records in each town). MASSACHUSETTS Massachusetts originally recorded vital records only at the town level. Although it was optional to do so, it is suspected that the great majority of vital events were recorded in Massachusetts even before statewide recording began in 1841. When a town became incorporated as a city, the city clerk's office was the place of recording. After 1841, when recording of vital events became mandatory, town and city clerks were required to send a copy of the record to the State Registrar of Vital Records. A large percentage of Massachusetts' town vital records to 1850 have been published and may be available at large research libraries. That makes it possible to examine a birth, death, or marriage record in at least on of three places--the town (or city) clerk's office; the printed volume of vital records; or the State Registrar's statewide index. Probate and land records for Massachusetts were recorded at the county, not the town, level. Probates are indexed by estate name and land records by both grantor and grantee. Because there were changes in county divisions and some counties have more than one registry office, it is important to be specific about the location and time period of the search. MAINE Maine was, until 1820, a part of Massachusetts--something that the inexperienced researcher often forgets when trying to trace New England ancestry. After Maine became a state, vital records continued to be recorded in town or city clerk's offices until 1892 when recording became mandatory. The towns continued to maintain the original records, but after that date sent copies of the records to the State Bureau of Vital Statistics in Augusta where they were indexed statewide. Unfortunately, many of Maine's vital records in towns have been lost to fire, and it is not easy to get a town clerk to respond to inquiries in smaller, understaffed towns. Maine followed Massachusetts' pattern for probate and land records, centralizing them in the county seats. All of Maine was Massachusetts' York County until 1760. Published versions of the early (to 1737) deeds and wills (to 1760) might be found in large research libraries. After those dates, the county seat's index needs to be consulted. NEW HAMPSHIRE The pattern of recording vital, land, and probate records in New Hampshire is similar to that of Massachusetts and Maine. Each town records the vital events, even to the point of publishing them annually in town reports after 1902. All recorded births before 1901 and deaths, marriages, and divorces after 1838 are additionally recorded and indexed statewide at the Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics. After those dates, a researcher has to demonstrate a direct interest in the event to view the record. Probate and land records can be located in the county seat where they are indexed by estate or grantor/grantee. These indexes usually contain a location for the land or place of probate, or an indication that the interaction was part of the county court proceedings. The "Sargent Index," located at the New Hampshire State Library, provides an unusual statewide index of all early (to c. 1800) town records, not just vital records. (See Town Meeting Records discussed later in this article.) RHODE ISLAND Rhode Island holds the distinction of being the state with the most centralized primary source materials. All of Rhode Island's vital, land, and probate records were recorded at the town or city hall. Counties have little genealogical significance. The vital records to 1850 have been published and distributed widely. After 1853, statewide recording of births, deaths, and marriages was mandatory through the Department of Health's division of Vital Statistics. That leaves only the years 1850 to 1853 not covered by either publication or statewide indexing. These records would have to be located at the town or city hall. CONNECTICUT In Connecticut, there is yet another pattern for recording vital, land, and probate records. Vital records are still kept by the town office, but after 1897 they were also recorded at the State Department of Health. To make research in Connecticut vital records easier, microfilm copies of the town vital records to approximately 1850, arranged alphabetically by surname across all town records in the state, are available in the Barbour Collection. It can be found at the Connecticut State Library and in many other genealogical libraries. The years contained within the Barbour Collection differ from town to town. Land records were recorded on the town level as well. Even today the purchase of a house gets recorded at the town clerk's office, not the county seat. Microfilm copies of town land records and their grantor/grantee indexes up to the middle of the 1800s can be found at the Connecticut State Library, but there is no statewide index. Probate materials are recorded at one of 130 local probate district offices. VERMONT Vermont uses the town system of government extensively. Probate records are found in probate districts (not entirely concurrent with county lines), but a trip to town hall was the essential step in recording vital events and land records, as well as numerous other aspects of local government--taxes, dog licenses, etc. For many reasons, vital, land, and probate records in the state are not entirely complete. After 1857 statewide recording of vital records became mandatory with the town maintaining the "original" records. The Bureau of Vital Records provides a statewide index of vital events recorded in the town records. Since everything in Vermont operates on a small basis, it is even possible to have personal access to all of the indexed vital records rather than having to rely on a staff search. Microfilm copies of land and probate records for the entire state, until at least 1850, are centrally located at the Division of Public Records in Montpelier, although there is no statewide index. In addition, yearly town meeting records in Vermont contain a wealth of primary source material. TOWN MEETING RECORDS Since the town form of government is the essential unit in New England (as it is today in Vermont and has been at various times in the rest of New England), each town recorded their yearly proceedings in what is called "Town Meeting Records." They usually contain many interesting aspects of our ancestors' lives. Also contained are tax records, elections of town officials, lists of children of school age, warnings out to poor families, church disputes, ear marks for cows or pigs, etc. Aside from New Hampshire's index to these town records, most have to be read thoroughly to unearth their marvelous sense of the quality of life recorded within them. Even if you can't take a trip to New England to see these wonderful records, microfilm collections of a good number of them are in the holdings of the LDS research library in Salt Lake City and through their network of local branch libraries. Certainly while the principle of working in the locale of your ancestor's former places of residence holds true for any geographic area, details of the lives of New Englanders are probably more open, available, and informative than that of most areas in the United States. ************************************************************>>><<<>>><<<>>> NEW ADVANCED SEARCH PAGE AT ANCESTRY.COM http://www.ancestry.com/dailynews/06_04_99.htm#3 Searching for Ancestors on Ancestry.com just got easier.

how do I get rewmoved from the mailing list

To Wilson List: I have just discovered that the son of Aquilla Vick (Originally Aquilla Barnes) Wilson G.Vick married Louisianna "Lou" Pridgen. This Aquilla Vick was married to William Henry Vick who died in the civil war of the measles in Va. and was brought home to NC. William Henry Vick was the father of my William Dorsey Vick who married Margaret Frances "Maam" Smith who were the parents of my grandmother Maggie Pearl Vick, my dad's mother. William Henry Vick is the one my brother got the stone for his grave, here recently.Of which the memoral will be this fall with Canon and cermony. Aquilla Barnes Vick b.? 1839 m. 16 Nov. 1859 was the daughter of Joel Barnes.I believe that Auqiulla's Mother was Mary Harriet Vick. Or it may possibly have been Polly Cockrell. I am not real clear on that right now. After William Henry Vick died she had other children but as far as I know was never married. ( maybe because she drew a Widows pension from William Henry Vick ) I have the license of Wilson G. Vick and Lou Pridgen . It tell's the parents of Lou but only a mother is listed for Wilson G. Vick. They applied for a license for the marriage and the justice of the peace was John Nelson Bone. This W.R. Pridgen ( William Wright R. Pridgen ) was from Coopers Twp Nash Co.NC (father of Lou Pridgen.) It was signed (by looks like a W.) W. D. Pridgen , J.W. Joyner, and J.M.Bone or J.W. Bone can't tell if W or M. John Nelson Bone was J.p. who signed it. It said Lou's mother was dead when the license was applied for. Anyhow I looked in Al's book and it is in there. Lou and her parents. And William Wright R. Pridgen and Wilson G. Vick. ( Wilson German Vick ) My brother gave me this info on Sunday at our dinner. It is a copy of the license. I know that this is the same Aquilla. I often wondered if the two Aquilla's were related. Now I know they are the same. I also have a copy of her claim for a Widows Pension. I had other info of Aquilla's other children also from before. But I did not see untill now that she was the same Aquilla Vick that I had seen elsewhere. Because I knew her as Aquilla Barnes Who married a Vick. Auilla's Children after William Henry Vick Died were: Ardel Vick b.24 April 1865 Wilson Vick b. 21 Nov. 1872 Metilda Jane Vick b. either 21 Nov.1869 or by my great aunt Alma's papers Aug. 26, 1869 Sue C. Vick b. 27 Aug. 1876 married a Joyner Peggy
