>Hello Carol, > >Your offer to help me is good news. This information may not be available to >you, but I would like to pose a question. > >May of 1985 was probably my last contact with Mr. Worth H. (Tom) Stancil, Box >2954, Manassas, VA., 22110-0903, regarding the genealogy of The Stancil >Family. We corresponded and Worth Stancil was wonderful in sharing his >research with me for our mutual ancestors. > >Around this time in 1985, I sold my home and was moving, etc. Our >correspondence ended and I have tried to find him without success. I know he >told me his ancestors were from Wilson Co., NC. Then I checked the Social >Security records and found a listing for a Worth Stancil born 16 May 1923 and >died December 1985, address given was Wilson, NC., 27893. I would like to >learn if this is the same Worth Stancil I had corresponded with in 1985. And, >if so, what happened to his genealogical records. Did he donate his records >to the Wilson County Library, etc? > >Carol, if you know anyone who might have information about Worth, will you >please send me their name and address. Or, if there is a genealogical society >and you're a member, or know members, perhaps someone there would know his >name, etc. > >Thank you for any information, clues, suggestions in trying to learn more. > >Sincerely, >Sharon Spillman >[email protected] There is a genealogy/historical society in Wilson, NC. One or more of its members are on this list. There is also a url address for the Wilson County Society http://www.txdirect.net/~hpeele/wilson.htm and the e-mail address for the President of that Society is [email protected] I have tried several times to get this society to list our list as a resource for its members in its pages, but I have been refused. I do hope you can get some of the answers you need. I would also think a simple phone call to information would tell you whether Worth Stancil is still listed in the telephone book.
