Perhaps the most under-utilized source for family papers, letters, and family history is the manuscript collections which are housed in major universities and colleges all across the country. How do we find them? The Library of Congress has indexed and catalogued them, and brief descriptions are on line. Remember the days of the old card catalogues that libraries used to use? This is now done electronically. Using Google, type in NUCMC, then fill in the name of interest. You may get as many as a dozen or more listings. Click on the underlined words: More Information. Forge ahead, and follow the directions. Accessing the card catalogue is FREE, but obtaining copies of the documents does involve copy costs and postage. If the repository is near you, feel free to go there and read the files of your choice. NUCMC, or the National Union Catalog of Manuscript Collections, is a free-of-charge cooperative cataloging program operated by the Library of Congress. Check out the resources find out more about the program, about archives and manuscript repositories, and about topics of interest to archivists and their institutions' patrons. Contact NUCMC

To those who keep looking at the estate settlement for me: In Thomas Donaldson's settlement, 1811, the last name of the last legatee is "Miller." The name is in the fold of the records and is almost impossible to read. Someone sent me a copy of the Bible of Thomas Donaldson's which passed into the hands of the Miller couple.

My ancestor Dr. Stubbins FIRTH died July 04, 1820 Ffirtthville, St. Paul's Parish, SC and is said to be buried "in the village on Dorchester". Is Dorchester an Island? If anyone knows the county/parish where Dorchester is located I would appreciate it if you would tell me. I would like to join the list for that county/parish.

Scollard is an unusual name, but there are plenty listed at World Connect at Rootsweb. Go to www.rootsweb.com and just put Scollard into the search screen. Also try the Scollard message board, there are 21 postings from people looking for Scollard family members. Before you go to Rootsweb or Ancestry, see if you can find information to put in a post about your parents or grandparents (best to add their information, if they are deceased). Have a look in the family records or Bible and see what your grandparents birthdates were, their parents names and maybe even their siblings. If you add that to the information you have given us, you might connect with another Scollard researcher. Also being from Washington State, consider the fact that your family could have migrated via the US or Canada.

The reason I was asking was that on the 1860 census, James was living with a family named Samy. At least, I believe that was the name. The head of the household was Ellen, and James was living there with Helen, 17 years old, who I believe to be the daughter of Joanna Rollison from the 1850 census. Ellen was 48 at the time. There was also a Graves Samy living there, which I thought was probably her son. In addition, there was a Lucy Samy living there. I am not as sure about Lucy's last name. It is hard to read. Lucy was 13 in 1860. Do you thing there is any relationship? I thought maybe James and Helen were related to the Samy family. Maybe I am just grasping at straws.
