Dear Evelyn, The Carraway in my line is my great-grandmother, Fanny Lee Carraway, b. Nov, 3, 1869 in Greene Co., NC, d. Dec. 26, 1925 in Wilson Co. She was the daughter of John Carraway - I have no other information for him or for Fanny's mother. Fanny was married to Benjamin Harvey Shackelford, my great-grandfather. My other great-grandmother was Nancy Whitley, who was married to my great-grandfather John Evans. Nancy died in 1945 in Wilson Co.

Brenda, What Carraway and Whitley are you researching? I have Carraway in my line, but have had a brick wall on that line since about 1975. Also have some Whitleys who married into the family.

Thank you Crystal. Just keep on posting those queries. Have you been to the NCRoots-L list on rootsweb or checked the archives in various rootsweb lists.. Just go to http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl When you arrive there, just type in the name of the list you want to research....like NCWILSON or Ruffin or Pridgen , etc.... Then when the next window pops up, you will simply enter the name of the person you are looking...E-mails that may have discussed a person or locality by the name entered will come up. Happy researching. Carol At 06:26 PM 6/1/1999 EDT, you wrote: >I just want all of you to know how much I appreciate all you are doing to >help me.

You know I absolutely adore Dr. Batten, but his books are not indexed....There are just tons of Creeches in this book. Seems like the Battens married lots of Creeches and Pittmans. Have you ever checked to see if there is a Creech list on Rootseb. I know there is a Pittman and Beverly contributes regularly for that list. I will check more thoroughly later, but a hurried scan doesn't show a Robert Batten that fits this niche or an Amos Batten. I still haven't connected my Betsy Batten m. to William Brown in 1826 or my Ailcey Batten m. to Simon Brown in the 1870s to this bunch either!! Let's both keep looking!! Carol .. Carol P.

I made a mistake on my step-grandfather's date of birth. He was born in the late 1870's, not 1880's..

Patricia, I don't have any info on the Boyettes but do you have any Dixons in Lenoir or Greene county. I just posted a Bible record for a Dixon on the Lenoir or Greene NCGENWEB page....I uploaded 17 Bibles this weekend to those sites so I can't recall which was on which page. Do check on these those...You never know!!

According to the formation of North Carolina Counties by Corbitt: Johnston County was formed in 1746 from Craven. It is bounded by Wilson, Wayne, Sampson, Cumberland, Harnett, Wake and Nash County I wonder if perhaps you shouldn't check Edgecombe which was formed in 1741 from Bertie. Nash was formed in 1777 from Edgecombe. So depending on what time period you are researching, you will need to check those counties for records.

Ok guys, this is starting to get twisted. I too have Pittman in my line. Are we our own grandma's or what. My connection is with Ida Batten marrying Noah Pittman. They had the following children: A.J., Mazel, and Velma. Now let me ask ya'll something. What is with the initial names. Was it a Carolinian requirement or what? My father is J.D. and over half of his cousins are initials. I spoke with my mother and she gave me a lot more regarding the Batten end. I also made connections to GARNER, GODWIN, SUMMERLAND COOPER, WATERS, TALTONS, WOODWARD, STARLING,PARRISHES, AND WALLS. As if that weren't enough, right. So I guess I could say HELLO LIST COUSINS. Someone mentioned Luchamie(not sure of spelling). I have a Ginzie Garner who married ? Barnes and had 2 sons who used to run the corn mill there. Boy, this should be interesting Crystal

Genealogy Research Easy Access Tip! This information is excerpted from "How to Do Research on the Internet" http://www.researchonline.net/res1.htm Permission is explicitly granted to repost this message to other mailing lists. More Stuff you won't find in the search engines! One of the things I enjoy doing most at the library is to browse the shelves to see what I can find. Now you can do it "virtually" and not have to worry about all those book mites (grin). Browsing the shelves can turn up a wealth of information for research, and - combined with a little patience - and the availability of inter-library loan; allow you to retrieve virtually anything for your own research. For the following example, I accessed the PAC (public access catalog) at Augusta (GA) State University. Their name for their catalog is ATLAS; most every library has their own name or acronym. The same techniques can be used at virtually any library, and there are about 200,000 with internet access in the U.S. now with thousands more in Europe and other places. A good list (though not complete) of libraries may be found at http://www.cyndislist.com. The Reese Library of ASU may be accessed at: http://www.aug.edu/~library/ and their gateway to TELNET access to their library catalog is at http://www.aug.edu/~library/atlas.html Once you log in, you'll be presented with a screen offering 1 - Title, author, subject search, and 2- keyword search. Now you can browse these to your heart's content, but let me show you a technique that you can use to really research the library's holdings (not just act as a tourist (grin)). Once you find a book that looks promising, there are two ways to look for other holdings which may be of interest. I noted while looking for the SUBJECT "Hammond family" (s=hammond family) that the call letter for the books were CS71 (this is true for most libraries - but not all as some use different numbering schemes). I then issue a CALL NUMBER request (c=cs71) and I am presented with the following list: # Call Number -------Author-------- ---------------Title----------------- 1 CS71 A211 1 Ebbott, Elizabeth. Descendants of Colonel John Emery A 2 CS71 A298 1 Felton, Eileen Lapham The Albee-Lapham heritage of Portla 3 CS71 A3 198 Albertson, John Jay, Albertson-Drusendahl lineages / by 4 CS71 A35X 1 Albin, Ethel Winifred The Virginia Albins : the history o 5 CS71 A362X Alden Kindred of Amer Directory / Alden Kindred of Americ 6 CS71 A38 19 Boggs, Marion Alexand The Alexander letters, 1787-1900 / 7 CS71 A39X Ames, Winthrop. The Ames family of Easton, Massachu 8 CS71 A43 19 Chrisman, Charles E. The Allen family history : descenda 9 CS71 A43 19 Miller, Norma Carter, Allens of the southern states / Nor 10 CS71 A46954 Jones, Zona Perry, 19 Aulwes family history and genealogy Actually Reese Library has over 2,000 titles of family histories: this is just the first 10. One book that looks interesting appears, so I type in its number for a detail view: DETAIL VIEW AUTHOR: White, Paul Richard, 1950- TITLE: Taproots, a Virginia & Carolina legacy LIBRARY HOLDINGS: SP.COLL. 1. CALL NUMBER: [S.C.] CS71 .A98 1986 -- Spec coll -- NonCirculating/---------- MATERIAL: Book CALL NUMBER: CS71 .A98 1986 AUTHOR: White, Paul Richard, 1950- TITLE: Taproots, a Virginia & Carolina legacy / by Paul R. White. EDITION: 2nd ed. PUBLICATION: Nashville, Tenn. (6235 Brownlee Dr., Nashville 37205) : P.R. White, c1986. DESCRIPTION: xv, 860 p. : ill. ; 29 cm. NOTES: Bibliography: p. 706-737. NOTES: Includes index. SUBJECT: Ayers family. SUBJECT: Blackwell family. SUBJECT: Virginia--Genealogy. ADDED ENTRY: Taproots, a Virginia and Carolina legacy. Now this detail record gives me several key pieces of information: 1. The book is non-circulating at this library, but that does not mean that I cannot request it via inter-library loan. Some other library may have it. Just last week I received a very rare book on Georgia Civil War Newspapers which states in the fly leaf that only 300 were printed. 2. The Subject classifications at the bottom of the record detail reveal: A. Ayers family and Blackwell family - this particular book deals with these two families although the title would not reveal that B. Virginia--Genealogy - this library classifies books under the subject heading Virginia--genealogy. I can use this designation to do a subject browse of all their books on this subject. Note the two dashes and the capitalization of the subject headings is important. Actually most all libraries use this same subject classification scheme. Once you learn the ones in your area of research interest you can use them most anywhere. 3. The real boon in this record for me is the address of the author, and his year of birth. I can now use switchboard to get his phone number, or write a letter if the address appears to still be the same. Other ways of searching available using this catalog include ISBN number (the first 5 digits are the publisher), ISSN, LCCN, OCLC, and REFERENCE In conclusion, TELNET and access to libraries in your geographic area of interest can turn up a lot of information that is often overlooked by the casual researcher. Learn to use these tools and your research efforts will be much easier and more effective. .. Carol P. Martoccia .. 903 East Fifth Street .. Greenville, NC 27858 ..
