Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IeB.2ACI/118 Message Board Post: My ancestor Walter Walsh was born on the Atlantic Ocean in 1818 (says so on tombstone). No oral history has survived to tell us where he landed. Assume Charleston. We first found him in Georgia with no family, then by 1830's in Florida with a wife and he started family there. We know he had a sister Anastacia and stories say his father was a teacher at an academy in Beaufort. We don't know his parents' names. From naming conventions, his father was possibly named Patrick Walsh. Have looked through all historic educational institutions online and nothing dates that far back. Must have been a smaller school and disappeared. Where would I find records of it and the teachers for it?

Surnames: Wilson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IeB.2ACI/116.1.1.1 Message Board Post: In 1971, the late Sheriff J. E, McTeer wrote BEAUFORT NOW AND THEN which was published by the Beaufort Book Company. On pages 98-99, McTeer quoted from a Secretary of War's report to congrress in 1868. The report indicates that construction began on the Beaufort National Cemetery in 1863 aand it was expected to be completed about 1 May 1868. The report indicates that 3, 282 knowns had been buried there; 2, 842 unknowns; and it was expected 2, 800 more were to still be buried there. Remains had been brought from the Charleston area, the Hilton Head area, and Georgia In May 1987 th remains of 14 soldiers, members of the 55th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment were discovered on Folly Island, SC near Charleston. They remains were buried in a common grave at the Beaufort National Cemetery on Memorial Day 29 May 1989. The Beaufort County Department of Veteran Affairs published a booklet for the occasion titled FROM THE PAGES OF HISTORY. The booklet indicates that General David Hunter purchased to land to be used for the cemetery at a tax sale on 11 March 1863 for $75. Way back in March 1986, "Blue and Gray Magazine" published an article about the Battle of Olustte fought in Florida on 20 Feb 1864, The article written by Richard J. Ferry indicates that in May 1866 soldiers of the 7th US Infantry disinterred the reamins of Union soldiers and reinterred them in a mass grave on the battlefield. Although some believe the Union dead of Olustee were eventually buried in the Beaufort National Cemetery, Ferry ponts out that the Beaufort National Cemetery has no records of their burial there. Supposedly records do indciate 105 Union soldiers who died in Florida were eventually buried in Beaufort. Ferry points out that the Federal government paid contractors $8 to $10 for relocating remains. Apaprently some contractors made up to $50 off one body disassembling legs, arms and the head. To quote Ferry, "Assuming this is true, it is possible that one soldier or parts of him , are buried under several different stones, each marked "Unknown Soldier."

I contacted the VA to see about having William's marker corrected. He died on Nov. 27, 1865 as a result of being a POW. He served with Co. H, NY 14th Heavy Artillery. Do you have any idea when the soldiers were reinterred at Beaufort? The VA website doesn't indicate when that was done. Thanks again, Tim

Buried is a Civil War union soldier by the name of William Wilson, died 27 Nov. 1865. He served with Co. H, NY 14th Heavy Artillery. The stone may say NY 114th Heavy Artillery, which is wrong since there was no NY 114th HA. Thanks a bunch and I'll return the favor if I can.

It’s time to make your plans to attend one of the best kept secrets in the South: two summer days devoted to genealogy research, learning, and networking. We continue to schedule this Workshop during the week when many families plan reunions, homecomings or family picnics. We hold it in the facilities of the South Carolina State Archives, which is just “down the road” from several major Southern and Carolina research facilities. We plan activities that will appeal to the beginner and the expert. We focus on things that are important to people who volunteer their time to help others enjoy family history and genealogy. And of course, we love it when “long lost” cousins are discovered during the Workshop. Here are the “basics” about the workshop and a special session for the public. And don’t forget to visit the SCGS website for updates about the program, registration materials, and hotel reservations - www.scgen.org ________________________________________ The 33rd Annual Workshop of the South Carolina Genealogical Society (SCGS)* will be held Friday and Saturday, July 9th – 10th, at the South Carolina Archives and History Center, 8301 Parklane Road, Columbia. This year’s Workshop has a special session “Treasures from the Attic” which is open to the public. It begins on Friday at 10:00 and continues through the early afternoon. This is your opportunity to have a one-on-one consultation with experts in the history and preservation of family heirlooms. Individuals with family Bibles, photographs, quilts, documents, military memorabilia and other family heirlooms will be matched with an expert from either the South Caroliniana Library, South Carolina State Museum, or the Lexington County Museum for a consultation. Harvey S. Teal, author of Partners With The Sun: SC Photographers, 1840 – 1940, will also be available to examine antique photographs. Experts will guide individuals in the “next steps” to take in preserving family heirlooms. A small fee of $5.00 per item is requested to defray the costs of the event. Advance reservations may be made to insure adequate time is available with appropriate experts. However, SCGS and its partners will try to accommodate “walk-ins” on a first-come, first-served basis. (If you can’t make the Workshop, but have a relative who wants help in preserving heirlooms or other sentimental items from a family or organization – this is the place to send them for assistance.) The Genealogy Session begin with Registration at 12:00 noon on Friday. Friday’s afternoon sessions begin with SCGS Workshop’s featured speaker, Tony Burroughs. Here is a listing of presenters and sessions for Friday afternoon. Pat Crowe (Preserving Family Memories), Sherry Cawley (Beginning Genealogy), Dr. Lloyd Johnson (Gideon Gibson: Colonial Free Person of Color), Horace Harmon (Genealogical Research Through Textiles), Steven D. Tuttle (SC Archives On-line), Brent H. Holcomb (German Research in SC), John H. Smith (NC Religious Repositories), and Brenda J. Smothers (Genealogical Case Study: SC to AL). When you finish, join us at the Speakers’ Reception and a Booksigning. Then perhaps top your evening off with dinner and late night “real live chats” with other participants. On Saturday morning, we’ll begin with some early morning networking. We can confirm at least one roundtable at this point, knowing others may develop in the coming weeks. The African–American Genealogical Roundtable will featuring Tony Burroughs, Brenda Smothers and Scott Wilds. Saturday’s opening general session will begin at 9:30 a.m. The sessions on Saturday will feature nationally recognized speakers including Harvey S. Teal (History of SC Photography), Tony Burroughs (Identifying Slave Owners). Other presenters will include Chloe Tonney, Shaunette Crawford and Kenneth H. Thomas, Jr. as well as speakers from Friday’s sessions. Saturday’s include: Beginning Genealogy, Fundraising for Genealogical Programs and Projects, Family Legends, On-line African – American Genealogy, SC Equity Case Study, SC Genealogical Records in Virginia, and Organizing Paper Files in Computer Age. Numerous displays featuring genealogical books, software, maps, charts, and information from all areas of the state will also be featured. The cost of pre-registration is $22.00 for SCGS members and $27.00 for non-members. Registration fees include all workshop materials and access to the Archives Research Room on Saturday (normally closed to the public). A catered lunch on Saturday is offered for an additional $8.00.
