*Up to now there have been two separate indexes to the available transcribed obituaries. One of early obituaries on the Library's web page and one on Helen's Little Corner. I have combined the index on the Dillon County's web page with the **Index of Selected Obituary Transcriptions <http://bellsouthpwp.net/m/o/moodiwmn/mom/SelectedObits.htm> ** Hopefully this will be an easier approach to obtaining an email with the requested obituary. The index will remain on the Library's page and the combined index will be added to periodically. The index is in alphabetical order and can be scrolled for search or you can do a "control f" for a specific name or date. Remember the date given is the date of the issue of the paper not the date of death. There are several obituaries transcribed from The State, Columbia, SC and other newspapers. Many of these will also be found in the Dillon Herald, possibly with more information. A few of the transcriptions are obituaries for surrounding counties. There is no fee for these transcriptions, however a donation to further our project is always appreciated. If you have an interest in descendants of Moodys from the Buck Swamp area of Marion/Dillon County, particularly the two brothers, Robert and Charles, please contact me for further information. * <http://bellsouthpwp.net/m/o/moodiwmn/mom/SelectedObits.htm> -- Helen B.

Dear List, I found this on one of my other lists and found it very interesting in respect of name changes. Peggy Price Maybe someday someone could put together a tutorial about surname changes from one language to another, and everyone could add what we have learned on our own. Added to the confusion are direct translations not only between English and other languages, but between other languages besides English. I once saw the name CHURCH on a census page in Michigan with all recent German immigrants, some of whom had variations of the name ELGAS or ELGIS etc. Later I had been following this name back through Germany to Alsace and France on the LDS site, and figured out that Elgas had been L'Eglise in French, meaning CHURCH. I can see how a German would have had a hard time pronouncing and spelling that French word, resulting in over 200 variations of the name now. I suspect the name CHURCH in the German neighborhood in Michigan really might be part of the rest of the Elgas family. I also saw Hillegas, which sometimes resulted in the Hill surname. Another problem is that some of us have very unusual surnames, and it would be logical to think that the same name and spelling is probably somehow related. I thought all Simoniks were probably related, until I realized that the name was Simon in Germany or France, which changes an unusual name to very common. In Ancestry magazine there was a story about 4 families with a very unusual surname in a small village , whose descendents did DNA testing, and none of these families were related. A Simonik researcher in CZ found that Simoniks where his ancestors came from got their name from a Knight named Simon, who was given land in the 1300's and all his peasant subjects took the name Simonik, according to legend by the town registrar. He found only 60 Simonik's in the world in phone books , and tried to contact all of them. I even saw a note on the internet that someone's Turkish grandfather had IK added on the end of Simon, meaning dancing feet or something like that. (Don't quote me on that one) If my German Simons went to Romania or Slovakia or Poland etc, I might miss the correct branch, with the different suffixes. One common German name change I noticed is the suffix EN or IN to make a name feminine. If the permanent spelling of the name has such a suffix in whatever country the family lands, then that name may not be changed anymore, for men and women. I think a lot of our brick walls start coming down once we figure out name changes, and ANYTHING goes as far as the end result of a name change.

Helen, Visited your "corner" and saw you have been busy with new data. Here are some I would like to have (copies of original newspaper articles). Please let me know the cost and I will sent it to you.
