I must have missed the original posting about the genealogical material. Would someone please repeat the information about the material recently found in the attics in Edgefield. How was it found, by whom, and is there any indication of the families that it involves? Thanks. Helen Leino

I would think it appropriate and policy that the South Carolina Archives would house these record. That is unless Edgefield has an archive which has safeguard for fire, etc. Poldi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kifle Tesfamariam Tewelde" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2003 4:06 PM Subject: Re: [Abbeville] Treasures > Just a question.

Just a question. When the family history library in Salt Lake City microfilms historical documents as in the "Treasure Find" who gets to store the original documents. Louis

Hi : I second that proposal. The family history library in Salt Lake City has the largest record repository in he world. They will professionally micro film them, and give you a copy to do with as desired at NO COST. They will then put them in their library for any one to access who desires by going there or ordering a copy of them to look at in their local library. This is a wonderful find and it appears like there is a lot of interest in them including myself. My gt.gt. grandfather JOHN BATTE BAIRD and FAMILY lived lived in the Abbeville district around 1800,before and after.

Fern, Ann, Audrey, and others who missed the message from Dr. Constance T. McNeill... here you go... Sometimes we hit that delete button too fast, don't we? But we can always go to the trash and retrieve it!! Or go to the archives...

Me too, I guess as I don't recall seeing it. Sure would appreciate a repeat. Wish I could come help.

"When we have all the papers opened, catalogued and make a final assessment, we have to decide how to preserve the documents and make them available to everyone." I have been reading with interest, as so many subscribers have, about the find in Edgefield. I understand the documents will be available at the D A Tompkins Library and at the Archives in Edgefield, but for those of us throughout the country, that is somewhat inaccessible. Have you thought about contacting the Family History Library in Salt Lake City? If the library had a copy of the microfilms, they would be available for all to check out and be viewed via the FHC in home towns across the country. I applaud you for the monumental task you are undertaking, and am looking forward to being able access the treasures you have unearthed. Nancy Stromswold Reno, NV

Hi all, While searching the online index of the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, I came across a plat that mentioned my 3g-grandfather, Simeon Chaney. He is listed as a neighbor in a land grant. The land grant in question surrounded my his land on three sides and gave the metes and bounds. So now I have a good idea of the location of his property even though the deed was burned in the courthouse fire of 1873. Suzanne Collins Matson

What a monumental task you have cataloging all of these items. I hope everyone realizes that it will be years before you have this project completed. I hope that you will be able to find volunteers to help with this. It is too bad that so many of us eager to know about the find live so far away. Kay Austin, Texas

I too would be very interested in a name index or any additional information from the records about Edgefield County discovered recently. Betty Duckworth Jackson Mississippi

I deleted the e-mail that described what was found and the quantity.of the newly found records. I would appreciate if someone would forward to the List the original message. Thank You Fern Stewart

Hello! What excing news to hear of new finds! It is a happy day when new information comes to light. If you would like for the University of South Florida to scan, transcribe and share any slave records on our project website, we will travel to Edgefield immediately to do so. Congratulations on your magnificent discovery! Toni Carrier Founding Director USF Africana Heritage Project Africana Studies Department [email protected]

--=======5A536268======= Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-7D8129BE; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit We are still unfolding documents to catalogue the items that have been found. There are about 75 or more boxes of envelopes. Guardianship papers, equity settlements, arrest warrants, Equity bonds, etc. Every time I go over and begin to help I am amazed at what we have. When we have all the papers opened, catalogued and make a final assessment, we have to decide how to preserve the documents and make them available to everyone. That will involve microfilming and then they will be available. Each box contains about 100 or more envelopes. So this is truly a monumental task. And we only have volunteers. But it will get done, somehow someway And the documents and the microfilm will then be available at the D A Tompkins library and the Archives in Edgefield. I will try to keep all informed as to the progress. We hope to apply for grants to help with this task. But for now, are being especially careful of who works with the documents. As all can understand.
