Violet, The name Llwellyn is a fairly common one in the area, and I suggest that you post given names to go with the surname, so that people will know who you're interested in. You should also search the list archives, using the various spellings as your search subject.....this will give you all the past posts that contain the name. There's no use in reinventing the wheel, and the archives are to prevent just that......no need to repost what already exists in the archives.

I agree with Liz J. Records need to be filmed and then if necessary transcribe them. I was once looking at an old census film and found the occupation of my great grandfather. What in the world could it be? I read it as being "Chewzzer" because of handwriting. I inquired on a mailing list what is a chewzzer? Days later when I went back to look at the census again with feedback from those on a mailing list, by studying it again and better this time, I came to realize it was "Chauffeur". My great grandfather was a chauffeur for Henry Ford. Sharon

> Our courthouse burned theirs, after they 'transcribed' them to computers! I wish they wouldn't do that. Records need to be filmed, not just transcribed. Only transcribing them before destroying the originals allows too much chance for error. I often find myself wishing that I could see the original record, on the chance the transcription was in error. I've seen enough 400-year-old handwriting to know how easy it is to misinterpret some of the words or letters. If records are filmed, it means we still virtually have the primary document. If they're only transcribed, we've lost that advantage. Liz J

One of my favorite new resources is Heritage Quest, using my library card, so I tried a search on Burgandine. The result is: "A History of Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and its people" by John Woolf Jordan Page 239 (which is on its way to John) "Chester county, about this period, was infested with a bold and daring outlaw named James Fitz Patrick, but who generally went by the name of of Fitz or Fitch. He was the son of an Irishman in low circumstances, and learned the blacksmith trade with John Passmore, a worthy citizen of the county. He joined the militia at the breaking out of the war, and accompanied the battalions that went to New York, but soon deserted and returned to his native county, where he was arrested, and afterwards confined in Walnut street prison in Philadelphia. Being released on condition of joining the Continental army, he soon deserted again, and once more returned to his native county, and went to work. Here he was arrested by two soldiers sent for the purpose. He obtained permission from the soldiers to visit his mother, but while there, seized his rifle and set them at defiance. He had now become so much offended at the Americans, that he determined on being revenged, and accordingly, when General Howe landed at the head of Elk, Fitz repaired to him; probably received some appointment, and doubtless, from his knowledge of the country, rendered him essential service. He was present at the battle of Brandywine, and afterwards accompanied the British army to Philadelphia. While the enemy remained in that place, he, in company with one Mordecai Dougherty, from the neighborhood of Doe Run, and others, employed his time in capturing good Whigs and in stealing horses; carrying them within the British lines. Lieutenant Joseph Lucky, and Peter Burgandine, were among the number thus captured. It was believed that these desperadoes were secreted and supplied with provisions by certain provisions by certain Tories of Newline and neighboring inhabitants of Chester county." I find the history our ancesters fascinating!

The 1790 census finds Peter in Londonderry, Chester County. A page with a lot of detail on him can be found here: http://community-2.webtv.net/mikebrowder/doyle/page5.html That seems to cover the Chester period fairly well and a bit beyond that. http://justlikedennis.com/family/Burkentine/notes.html has a more data for Peter, and more details on this family, click link there to home page for a few PDF files on ancestor charts also. This item on that page looks curious and is apparently the grandchildren suing to try to recover part of the estate: Bedford County Clerk of the Court, Bedford, Virginia Deed Book U-21, page 495-7 Know all men by these presents that whereas Peter Burgundine late of the County of Bedford and state of Virginia died intestate and upon whose estate letters of administration were duly granted, he the said Peter having a son and lawful heir, among other heirs, named Leonard Burgendine, & who also died intestate in the County of Chester, previously to his father the said Peter, leaving two sons lawful issue John and James Burgundine. And further whereas they the said John and James Burgundine being the legal representatives of the said Leonard Burgundine are entitled to that share and purport of the estate of Peter Burgundine, the Grandfather, which their father Leonard Burgundine was legally entitled to claim provided he had survived his father the said Peter Burgundine.

Unusual, perhaps, but I checked the CD of wills and there are many found with the given name Asenath....in Chester and surrounding counties. So, what is odd to our ears wasn't, perhaps in earlier times, and there are enough of them to make it clear they aren't all related.....one Anesath wouldn't necessarily be related to another Anesath.

I'd just like to remind everyone that the CCHS has a large collection of old photos and copies are available for purchase. I've always wondered what my ancestors looked like and was able to find just one couple, whose picture I ordered. It was a real thrill to receive it! After being on this list for so long, I've been able to identify many names that listers are looking for, on the list of photos. Take a few minutes and look over the entire collection. It's well worth your time! Lorraine

Why doesn't someone contact the LDS in Salt Lake City? They brought a team to Birmingham 2 years ago and microfilmed all the loose papers in the Birmingham AL, Jefferson County court house basement. At least those are preserved in the LDS library now! My cousin and several others helped sort the papers into groups for them to film. It took about 2 weeks or more for this to get done!

The reloading while running story was on one of the pages I looked at also. It's the stuff great legends are made of. Speaking of photos, someone needs to rescue some of the neglected archives shown in photos at that West VA site: <www.wvculture.org/history/rmpb/Cabell_County/Images/P10CountyClerkinactive. htm> <www.wvculture.org/history/rmpb/Cabell_County/Images/P8CountyClerkinactive.h tm <www.wvculture.org/history/rmpb/Greenbrier_County/Images/P25CountyClerkactiv e.htm> There are grants available for library initiatives to make digital copies of old books. I was looking at this recently and it looks like it's not difficult for libraries to apply. A local library could probably get funding to take on projects like this and digitizing their own old books and local history. Oral history projects are big in grants recently also.

Hi all, I went to the library to do some checking on my Andersons, and I did find one more will that belongs to my family.
