This may seem like an elementary question, but I don't know too much about the Heugenot background. Is there another name for the Heugenot Church in Charleston. Someone told me that St. Philip's was the Heugenot Church. Thanks. Myrna Lazenby -----Original Message----- From: Edward L.

Excellent Advice Bill Baldwin Clearwater, FL.

List: About the fallen gravestone, it was more serious than that. The child was killed by having it fall on his head. My poor memory makes me think it was in St. Philip's, but it very well could have been the Huguenot cemetery. I know about the death because the child was my first cousin's grandson. She witnessed the tragedy. The reason for my butting in on this subject is to advise all who have young children with you to be VERY careful to watch them at all times. That horrible death and what my cousins suffered through should never happen to anyone. Those old stones can be particularly dangerous.

The Church was open with two docents present. However, there were chains across the entrances to the cemetery. When I inquired of the docent, I was told that no one was allowed to visit the graveyard "unless they have an ancestor there". When I provided a name, it was checked against a list. Satisfied, the docent escorted me to the cemetery. All very courteous. When I asked how long the cemetery had been closed, I was told "since Hugo". I also gathered that a child had been injured by a falling grave marker. For those with an interest in this cemetery, an inventory of tombstones supplemented with death records from the Board of Health was published some years ago in the Transactions of the Huguenot Society. A well worn photocopy is kept at the Church. I believe there is also an inventory of the memorial markers appearing on the walls within the Church ... but not sure. Travel tip ... try to stay downtown - south of Calhoun Street ... park your car and don't get back in it until you leave .... Charles L. Dibble

Well, they may destroy your once-in-a-lifetime pictures at the drug/grocery store, but at least you can try to console yourself with a convenient quart of malted milk bunny eggs. Try to do that in a professional photography shop! <G>

Hey, I have had screw ups with them all. I once had someone's wedding pictures in with my pictures from a "professional place". I also have had the "professionals" enlarge a picture using the wrong side of the negative----giving me a mirror image. As for the "amateurs", I will never take film to a grocery store for developing again...the negatives were cut through the middle, instead of at the end, for every strip. They said it was an equipment problem. I have been present when many people learned that the "superstore" lost their pictures, even with one hour developing, but thankfully, it hasn't happened to me, yet. The moral: You take your chances anywhere. Margie S.

To all of you going "ancestor" hunting I do hope that when you get home with your many rolls of film you will take them to a reliable place to have your pictures developed. Don't go to the local discount or drug store. This is a once is a life time sort of thing and so many people do not realize what a great difference having professionals who only develop film do the work. Not the store where you can buy everything from groceries to the candy to put in the Easter basket.
