Not many lay people will be interested in purchasing this book. But perhaps they would be interested in purchasing a copy for the genealogy collection for the county libraries of Old District 96. This book would be a great addition to any library genealogy collection. Something to think about. Mary, you say that you have a copy of the book. Do you do lookups? I am one of said lay people not wanting to buy a copy but need a lookup. Thank you. Cheryl c a kemp at yahoo com

If you have not used the Genealogy files of Leonardo Andreas you certainly might be missing a great resource for learning about your family specialy if you live way off and cannot access the SC Archives etc. These are available only in the largest best libraries and in the Family History Centers of Mormon churches i. e. Church of Latter Day Saints of Jesus Christ, look up in your local phone book. The only ones I know of on line are the MILLERs if you know of others on line please post them for others's benefit. So I can tell you where to go look at the MILLER section of files and you can see what has been done already and that you should go access these files in your search for whatever surname you are looking for in SC. See the rundown below to learn what is available for MILLERs and apply that to your situation; The Andrea Files originate from Leonardo Andrea a professional Genealogist of the 1940 era. After his death it has been said that his daughter donated his files to be used by people all over the world searching for their ancestors. We are indebted to her for her generousity. Andrea took these files from the records of the local court houses in various counties of SC, GA and elsewhere. His methodology seems to be to copy all the records on MILLER when he was in a county searching for a particular individual so that he would have the information available whenever he needed it the next time. Anyone who had MILLER relatives in SC or went through SC on their way westward will find these documents helpful. MILLER is just one of the many surname files that you can find in your local library by Andrea. If your ancestors were South Carolinians go see the Andrea Files. He copied wills, deeds, grants and court docs that he thought might help identify the MILLER individual and all members of his family as well. He spared no peripheral identities to document spouses and their parents when he could find them. As all human beings Andrea could have made a mistake or two so we suggest that you make your own conclusions from the data available here rather than accept in whole the conclusions drawn by Andrea. We are indebted to Debra MILLER Haston for the extensive time spent retyping these files into readable/searchable text. Although the text is searchable for the first name you are looking for we suggest you read all the material for a given location rather than concentrate solely on the name you are seeking. The files are in 6 Sections as follows: Section [1] is a summary of all the files and functions somewhat like an index. Section [2] covers the MILLERs in Lancaster, Clarenden, Kershaw and Richland Counties of SC. Section [3] covers Fairfield, Chester, York, Union counties and portions of old Camden District. Section [4] covers old 96 District and the counties of Union, Laurens, Anderson, Oconee, Picklens, Greenwood, Spartanburg, Newberry, Edgefield, Saluda, Abbeville, and McCormick as well as portions of old Pendleton and Old Edgefield Districts. Section [5] is a short compilation of the Switzerland MILLERs entering the country at PA, NY, VA, and other ports then some of whom migrated on to SC and other places. Section [6] covers the Georgia MILLERs but only a few counties that overlap the SC MILLER files he worked on. WE suspect that there are other MILLER files in other counties that are missing [but these are all that are known to us]. Andrea had a particular interest in the MILLERs as he had bit of MILLER blood too. To view the MILLER sections go to; http://www.geocities.com/webbercreek/ Charles C.

After the Rev War, when GA starts handing out land to Vets from anywhere...the bulk move out. From 1730, some Porter or another keeps popping in and out of the cluster...they live next door, they buy at an estate auction, they witness this and that.

The trial for one of the people thought to be the trigger puller in our son's murder has been over for some time now. He was found guilty, recieved a 25 year sentence, and is now in prison. The other person that was charged in David's murder, did a plea, and recieved 10 years. Sorry it's taken me so long to let all of you know about what happened. I guess we (the family), all fell in to a stupor after the trial. It's hard to fathom that people can roam around killing others and be in and out of prison before you know what happened. Whatever happened to hanging? Thanks, David __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on time. http://taxes.yahoo.com/filing.html

We've all encountered these Genealogy Commandments, haven't we? (1) Thou shalt name your male children: James, John, Joseph, Josiah, Abel, Richard, Thomas, William (2) Thou shalt name your female children: Elizabeth, Mary, Martha, Maria, Sarah, Ida, Virginia, May (3) Thou shalt leave NO trace of your female children. (4) Thou shalt, after naming your children from the above lists, call them by strange nicknames such as: Ike, Eli, Polly, Dolly, and Sukey.---making them difficult to trace. (5) Thou shalt NOT use any middle names on any legal documents or census reports, and only where necessary, you may use only initials on legal documents. (6) Thou shalt learn to sign all documents illegibly so that your surname can be spelled, or misspelled, in various ways: Hicks , Hix, Hixe, Hucks, Kicks (7) Thou shalt, after no more then 3 generations, make sure that all family records are lost, misplaced, burned in a fire, or buried so that NO future trace of them can be found. (8) Thou shalt propagate misleading legends, rumors, vague innuendo regarding your place origination. (A) You may have come from : England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales....or ?? (B) You may have American Indian ancestry of the______tribe. (C) You may have descended from one of three brothers that came over from_____. (9) Thou shalt leave NO cemetery records, or headstones with legible names. (10)Thou shalt leave NO family Bible with records of birth, marriages, or deaths. (11)Thou shalt ALWAYS flip thy name around. If born James Albert, thou must make all the rest of thy records in the names of Albert, AJ, JA, AL, Bert, Bart, or Alfred. (12)Thou must also flip thy parent's names when making reference to them, although "Unknown" or a blank line is an acceptable alternative. (13)Thou shalt name at least 5 generations of males, and dozens of their cousins with identical names in order to totally confuse researchers.

Dr. McNeill Since Orville Vernon Burton's Edgefield Database that was used for his work, In my Father's House Are Many Mansions and described therein seems so comprehensive, I am curious as to whether there has been any discussion with the local genealogical society to make it available to researchers.
