I have just been thru the microfilm of the 1930 census of Lexington County, South Carolina and failed to find West Columbia, where I had several relatives living. I know it was formerly New Brookland, also called "Brookland" but I did not see either of these named. Anyone have any idea? A Shull in Virginia, Truman Adkins Fieldale, Henry County, Virginia

This is kind of long, but well worth reading! I found a way to use FOIA in genealogy to request records that actually results in moving your search along. In my every day professional work I use the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) to acquire records from all areas. The FOIA is a tool that is available to everyone. The request is free but it can be very confusing. You have to know where to send it, you have to have the right request form, a properly worded letter, you have to know what type of information they need to get you what you are looking for. You cannot just send in a generic "find this" request. Using the proper request, the proper form, a properly worded letter you will get the documentation you are seeking. I received 84 pages in the first probate request, two weeks later, an additional 124 pages. All stuff they copied from microfiche. At $ .10 per page. Some of these re! cords went back to 1838. I will send you the forms (both State and Federal), the request letter, what you need to send them in terms of specifics, if you have them, or if not, where and how to find them. I have compiled a list of each State’s statutes and codes that you will need to reformat the request form for your particular State or the State you are sending the request to. I have included some specific searching directions and examples that may help you. For those of us who have been unable to get to an out-of-town location or to afford a researcher it's great. My email is genealogyprincess@hotmail.com or klawler@batorberlin.com. Please only use these for responses. I’ll be happy to answer questions! I will be happy to help anyone with any additional information or reformatting the forms for other states, other data requests, etc. Any other requests for help, I will send a form. I am requesting $6.58 for paper, copying, assembly, large envelope, and postage costs. This package of information is 22+ pages (and growing) -- and I had no idea this would be responded to in such huge numbers (!!). So, if you’re interested, send $6.58, personal check is ok, [Kathy Lawler] to Genealogy Princess, 20757 Camden Square, #210, Lathrup Village, MI 48076 or use my Paypal address [checking] for $7.00 to Genealogyprincess2000@yahoo.com. Either way, don’t forget your address!! I will send you the information the very day I receive your address and funds. Lastly, additional information, new ways I can come up with to use FOIA will be sent to you free of charge and I’ll also be happy to answer any questions you may have. This is strictly to get you! information that will help you gather documents and information to further your search for your ancestors. Thanks! Kathleen Lawler

I just recently found the grave of John Thomas Nates He died Feb 21, 1905. James Wade Nates died about 1880-82. Also, I have found a Jessie Nates on the rolls of Mexican War Veterans. Do you have any information of him and which family he belonged too? Thanks Tim

I agree with your post about the Jacob Corley being a son of Lawrence Corley. The only dates that I have for this couple is that Elizabeth Hendrix was born about 1787 and both she and Jacob died prior to 1840 in Alabama. I believe that this information came from the LGE. --- Webb Bays Blackman --- tpsteele@charter.net wrote: > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AgB.2ACI/1076.1.2.2 > > Message Board Post: > > M.H.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AgB.2ACI/136.553.729 Message Board Post: Hi!, my name is Joyce, I live in Chicago. My grandfather's name was Frank Manigault and grandmother Hannah. My father was the youngest. He was born in 1896 in Winnsboro, S.C. I'm not sure if we are talking about the same people. My Dad did have a sister named Carrie, also Mary, Hester, etc. Most of us Manigault & Manago live in Maryland, South Carolina, California and Chicago. We had a family reunion in Maryland this year. I sent this note to be passed out. I’d like to mention some things about your grandfather / great-grandfather. If you wish you can give this information to the rest of the family, so they may know a little about their grandfather. Andrew was born in February, 1896 to Frank & Hannah Manigault (Manago). He was the youngest of ten children. Andrew was married to his first wife LillieBell with whom he fathered; T.J., Samuel, Ruth, Robert, Pearl, Fred, Moses and Elenora. Andrew left his first family for which he regretted as long as I can remember. But, I have always been so happy to have my older sisters and brothers. (Mom and Dad let us know about them when we were very young). I have always enjoyed their hospitality, their compassion and their accomplishments in life. They did great without Dad being there. When Dad married his second wife (my mother, Levonia), he did a great job as a father and provider. Andrew always worked hard to do his best. In his later years he finally seemed to be a happy man knowning that my his older children must have forgiven him. They would visit and/or write or call. There are reasons for all things in life, I think. I believe that Dad has been the only person I’ve known to brag about the physical labor jobs that he did over the years. He loved to talk about when he scrubbed the floors of Union Staion in Washington D.C. in the early 1900’s. He would actually race with the other workers mopping and said that people who were waiting on the train would throw money to him. I have many pictures of us all on different occasions. I really cherish them and can always go back and remember the great times we have had. I regret that we will not attend the 2002 Manago Family Reunion. I hope that all of you will have a great time. Those of you who have contacted me over the past few years; some I did not get back to but you are always in my heart and on my mind. I love all of you equally. ~ ~ ~ ~ There is a lot of information on the internet about the Manigault’s of whom part are our ancestors. Dad use to talk a lot about how they came to America and about the slavery, of whom his mother was a child slave. Dads mother was Native American. Check it out; Native Americans were used as slaves, too. Back then, the tribes were not recognize; so they were called colored just as the African American slaves were. Some in our family probably thought that Dads mother was white. Lots of Native Americans look white. Dads father, his brother and I don’t know how many more were bought over here from the Carribbeans. Dads cousin, Oscar Manigault, who is in a nursing home now in South Carolina talked to me about ten years ago giving a lot of information about how the family came here from the carribbeans. Also, how we had the first church (African American) here in the U.S. Dad explained how the french, etc. came to shore taking advantage of the people (tribes) etc. just as it is written.
