JAMESTOWN UNCOVERED .. by William M. Kelso for British Heritage Magazine Recent discoveries at Jamestown, Virginia, have uncovered some surprising insights into everyday life at England's first permanent colony in North America. On 14th May, 1607, just over 100 men and boys filed ashore from the small sailing ships Susan Constant, Godspeed, and Discovery, onto what English adventurers came to call Jamestown Island in Virginia. The decision to land on that site was no accident; the colonists had spent more than two and a half weeks searching for the ideal setting for their town. One eyewitness account explained that they chose Jamestown Island because the navigable river channel came so near to the shore that they could moor their ships to the trees. That certainly made unloading supplies easier, but the site had additional advantages. The settlers had very specific instructions from the Virginia Company in London, the merchants and nobles who put up the money for the venture. The Company officials had advised the colonists to settle at least 100 miles from the ocean as protection against the likelihood of Spanish reprisals for past English privateering raids and for muscling in on "Spain's" New World. If the colonists did settle closer to the ocean, however, the Virginia Company recommended that they at least choose a naturally defensive place such as "some Island." Jamestown Island was, in fact, only 30 miles from the open sea. To avoid warfare with the American natives the Englishmen were also supposed to choose an uninhabited site. Apart from Jamestown Island, few locations on the James River satisfied these conditions. There the first English settlement in the New World began. So goes the less negative version of the siting of James Fort at Jamestown Island. But more often, historians consider descriptions of the marshy, mosquito-infested, low-lying island lacking fresh water to be proof enough of how ignorant the colonists were when they decided to settle in such an unhealthy place. Even though Jamestown eventually proved to be the durable beginning of the English presence in America, most historians cannot emphasize enough the supposed incompetence of its leaders and their "drone-like" hundred-plus followers. Most give major recognition for what little success Jamestown achieved to the daredevil captain from Lincolnshire, John Smith, who left the most complete and only in depth published account of the venture's early months. But now the results of the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities' Jamestown Rediscovery Archaeological Project are beginning to tell a fairer version of the story of England's first permanent North American colony. From the outset, the project's overall goal was to locate and uncover any remains of the first Jamestown settlement--especially traces of James Fort as it was originally constructed, but also evidence of any other phases it may have evolved into from 1607 to 1624. That was an extremely ambitious quest, because when the project began in 1994 many Jamestown visitors and scholars believed that all traces of the James Fort settlement had been the victim of James River shoreline erosion. Happily, the first three seasons of digging revealed that the remains of the early settlement had almost totally escaped erosion. By the end of the third summer season we had found enough of a pattern of an enclosure to be confident of the configuration of the fort's south-eastern corner. That footprint consisted of slot trenches, where upright side-by-side log palisades once stood, and a curved dry moat. Other signs included cellars inside the palisade lines, one near the south-east corner and another amid the curve of the fort's corner cannon emplacement, possibly a secondary powder magazine. Both these and the moat had been filled in with rich deposits of discarded armour, pottery, trade copper, waste from glass-making, and garbage bones from the earliest period of the settlement, 1607 to 1610.

DeafBiographies.com is a new website, created and compiled by Amy Johnson Crow, CG, which is devoted to biographical facts about deaf Americans through the early 20th century. The facts might be a birth, death, marriage, or school admission -- anything pertaining to the person's life. Currently, there are more than 6,500 records in its database. Each record has a source citation, making it easy for researchers to see where the information came from. A unique aspect to DeafBiographies is that users can register (for free) and enter facts. The site also features histories and pictures of U.S. schools for the deaf. Many records pertaining to deaf individuals contain tremendous amounts of genealogical information. Even if you do not have a deaf ancestor, if you have a collateral who was deaf, there might be great information here to help you with your genealogical research. http://www.deafbiographies.com/ Sally Rolls Pavia sallypavia2001@yahoo.com "Don't let yesterday use up too much of today." ..

A quick question.. Is a land transfer record a primary source for proof of marriage and or parentage??? My grt. grandparents marriage license only has his initials and last name circa 2/04/1905. Unfortunately there were several people with the same name in that county Andrew J. Pool. My grt. grandmother's tombstone has her maiden name on it. She died 04/14/1909. The land transfer record has Eva Pool married to Andrew Jackson Pool, and says he inherited the property from his father and names him. Her brothers were the witnesses(signed at bottom) and a magistrate/Justice of Peace also notarized it. Its dated 1/09/10/1908.

NEW YORK (AP) -- At the start of Black History Month, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture announced the creation of an education project focusing on black migration over the past 400 years. The project, which includes a new Web site, will give the public access to articles, photographs, maps and historic documents -- including a letter from President Lincoln in which he writes about sending blacks to Haiti. Entertainer Harry Belafonte, who got his start in a basement theater at the original Schomburg center in Harlem, said Tuesday that the "In Motion: The African-American Migration Experience" project will help people learn about the "profound impact the African-American has had in shaping the culture and history" of the United States. "This Web site documents our journey," said Belafonte, who immigrated from the Caribbean island of Jamaica and worked as a janitor in Harlem before becoming an actor and singer. "It will help us get on with the business of understanding who are, make us become more prideful and for the rest of the world to understand what they have done to us, for us and with us." Besides the Web site, the project includes a book, published by National Geographic, and 100 lesson plans for schools. The Web site has 17,000 pages of text from books and manuscripts, 8,000 photographs and 65 maps, many specially designed to trace international and domestic migration patterns of approximately 35 million blacks and their ancestors. For example, someone interested in Virginia can click on a map and follow the journey of runaway slaves from a plantation to the cities, said Dr. Sylviane Diouf, the project's manager. "This is an invitation to every person of African descent in the United States to revisit their families' migration histories," Diouf said. The project, funded by a $2.4 million federal grant, breaks down the major movements of people of African descent into, out of and within the United States into 13 categories. It also offers a new interpretation of African-American history: The first Africans arrived in South Carolina, Texas and Florida in the early 16th century -- almost a century before the 1619 Jamestown settlement, said Howard Dodson, director of the Schomburg center. The Schomburg Center is a research unit of the New York Public Library. It was founded in 1911 by Arthur Schomburg, a collector of African-American books. For the past 80 years the center has collected and preserved materials documenting black life. http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/internet/02/02/black.migration.ap/index.html Sally Rolls Pavia sallypavia2001@yahoo.com "Books permit us to voyage through time, to tap the wisdom of our ancestors." ..

The Florida State Archives is mandated by law to "collect, preserve and make available for research the historically significant records of the state, as well as private manuscripts, local government records, photographs, and other materials that complement the official state records." To that end, the archives applied for grant funding under the Library Services and Construction Act to digitize a large part of the collection and to place it online. The result of this grant-funded project is the Florida Memory Project website. On the Florida Memory Project website, you will find over 450,000 scanned photographs and documents that illustrate significant moments in Florida's history. For each collection in the Memory Project, you are provided with a collection description, FAQs, and background or historical information. The Project also includes an online exhibit of significant State Archives documents highlighting important events in Florida's history and an interactive timeline of people and events. The collections described below are searchable from each individual home page. You should note that the online collections may be accessed via both the Florida State Archives and the Florida Memory Project home pages. The online collections include: World War I Service Cards: This is a database of soldiers who were either from Florida or who entered the military service in Florida. These cards provide name, age, serial number, race, place of birth, and residence. Search this database by name, branch of service, service/serial number, rank, race, and residence. Digital copies of the World War I service cards may be downloaded from the site free of charge. Florida Confederate Pension Application Files: This collection contains scanned images of approximately 14,000 Confederate pension application claims (approved and denied) filed from 1885 to 1954. The information in the files generally includes name; date and place of birth; unit dates; places of enlistment and discharge date; brief description of service; wounds received; sworn statements on proof of service by comrades; War Department service abstracts; and place and length of Florida residency. The widow's applications are filed under the name of the veteran. Pension files may be searched by surname (soldier's or widow's maiden name) or applications number. The files are available online in PDF format. Florida Folklife Collection: This searchable database of over 100,000 photographs includes a wide range of images from mid-fifteenth-century maps to current photographs. You can perform a general search of all of the collections or limit your search to a specific collection by first choosing it from the Collection Index. Browse the subject headings to get a sense of the extent of the photographic holdings. The Call and Brevard Family Papers: Richard Keith Call was a territorial governor of Florida, and his daughter, Mary, married Theodore Washington Brevard. This collection includes transcriptions and scanned images of personal and business correspondence; financial records; land records; commissions; speeches; manuscript poems, articles, books, and other writings; newspaper clippings; and scrapbooks documenting the personal and public lives of members of the Call (1788-1916) and Brevard (1820-ca. 1920s) families. This collection documents Florida's history from territory to early statehood, and the Civil War, and includes first person accounts on the issues and attitudes concerning slavery and race, and the effects of the Civil War on the lives of planters of the Old South.
