There isn't a Melvin, but a Pink (possible nickname?) Kibler b. 1865 is there and may be your ancestor. Also look at the 1860 SC Slave Schedules to see the locations and owners. Good luck, Joy For African Americans, tracking down ancestors can present a unique set of challenges--few other groups face as many obstacles when it comes to family history research. Often, a lack of credible documentation can make the journey both difficult and time-consuming. Fortunately, there is a vast collection of data available online. In celebration of Black History Month, Ancestry.com, which hosts the largest online collection of family history records, has launched an all new African American Research Center at: http://www.ancestry.com/aahistory (NOTE: The free databases must be accessed through this page and users must log in or complete the free registration.) Throughout the month of February 2006, Ancestry.com will be offering free access to this vast collection of historical records detailing the lives of hundreds of thousands of African Americans. A wealth of personal information can be obtained in the documents available at Ancestry.com and the African American Research Center (http://www.ancestry.com/aahistory). Some of the records available include: --- Freedman's Bank Records, 1865-1874 Shortly after the Civil War in March 1865, several New York business men started the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company, or Freedman's Bank--a savings bank where soldiers and former slaves could invest their money. The Freedman's Bank records show depositors' names and sometimes other personal information such as age, place of birth, and occupation. --- U.S. Federal Census, 1870 The 1870 census is the first U.S. Federal Census to list formerly enslaved African Americans by name (in previous censuses they were included only as tally marks on a page). --- 1850 Slave Schedules --- 1860 Slave Schedules Slaves were counted separately during the 1850 and 1860 U.S. censuses. Unfortunately, in most schedules, only the names of land owners were recorded; individual slaves were not named but were simply numbered and can be distinguished only by age, sex, and color. --- Civil War Service Records These records include more than 5.3 million men who served in the war. Each record provides the soldier's name, company, unit, the individual's rank when inducted and rank when discharged. --- Afro-Louisiana History and Genealogy, 1718-1820 This database includes detailed information on more than 100,000 slaves who arrived in Louisiana between 1718 and 1820. The records include rich personal details such as name, gender, race, birthplace, family names and relationships, skill or trade, personality traits and information about how the person was freed. --- Slave Narratives A collection of one-on-one interviews with more than 3,500 former slaves collected over a ten-year period from 1929 to 1939. The interviews, written exactly as they were dictated to preserve the spoken dialect of the former slave, are very rich in family history data and often identify ages, places of residence and birth, and names of spouses, children, siblings, and parents. --- WWI Draft Registration Cards In 1917 and 1918, approximately 24 million men, close to 25% of the total population of the United States, completed a World War I draft registration card. The cards contain more than just names and dates; they contain significant genealogical information such as birthplace, citizenship status, and information on the individual's nearest relative. If a person was of African descent, the bottom left corner was cut off of the registration card to make that distinction. --- Selected Family and Local Histories This collection is a compilation of journals, memoirs, and other first-hand personal narratives that provide a poignant picture of daily life, from everyday challenges to extreme hardships. Free databases are: --The First African Baptist Church of North America --The Black Presence in the Era of the American Revolution, 1770-1800 --Blacks in the State of Oregon, 1788-1971 --Slave Life in Georgia: A narrative of the life, sufferings, and escape of John Brown, a fugitive slave --Slavery Petitions and Papers REPRINT POLICY: We encourage the circulation of the "Ancestry Daily News" via non-profit newsletters and lists providing that you credit the author, include any copyright information (Copyright 1998-2005, MyFamily.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries.), and cite the "Ancestry Daily News" (http://www.ancestry.com/dailynews ) as the source, so that others can learn about our free newsletter as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "lorenzo kibler" To: Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 12:15 PM Subject: [SC] Re: SC-Genealogy-D Digest V06 #20 Thank you tremendously !july 29th 1865 in columbia s carolina ,Melvin Kibler was born to a dad that was already dead for being a runnaway slave ,i have run into a brick wall trying to find out anything on melvin,i really would appreciate any an all help as to whom his ancestors were ,ie;mother father sisters,brothers cousins,nieces,nephews i find all kibler every where else i go are not black,other than in s carolina,where they claim no knowledge of him,i tracked him into mississippi,into arkansas w/census reports an they keep saying he was bornin s carolina ,his grandson my grandfather says his father told him he was born in columbia but i cannot find him on any census in s carolina,help anyone please ______________________________Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 17:42:32 EST From: DavineR@aol.com To: SC-Genealogy-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SC] Kibler In a message dated 2/10/2006 5:03:24 PM Eastern Standard Time, joyk@sc.rr.com writes: http://www.ancestry.com/aahistory I am not getting any of the links to work for free.

Joy No. It appears to be working, but when you click on the info you want it takes you to a sign in window which ultimate means you have to either subscribe or sign up for the 14 free day trial -- which I don't care to do. My ancestors were slave holders, and I was just curious to see if there was information there which I hadn't seen. Thanks for your help.
