Helen, I just wanted to say thank you so much for posting the area's obits. I live in Kansas. There have been a couple of obits that you have posted in the past 6 months that have helped me so much. I really do appreciate it. I obviously don't get the local papers there....so it is a great help. Thanks again.

Johnny, Good to hear from you again! How are things in Texas? Is Texas as dry as SC? I finally finished the book on my great-grandfather, Wade Hampton Richardson and his descendants. Many of our line lived in Galivants Ferry. The family is pretty evenly divided between Horry and Marion County, and, of course, in the past they moved back and forth across the county line. We had as Isla married to Warren but it is not the same one. I do not have your Isla, but I'm sure the blood mingled somewhere or other along the way. Sandra

Jo, and members of the Pee Dee Chapter, SCGS. Thank you for your consideration of my proposal of having the meetings taped. I can certainly see the problems it would generate. If the speaker would consider providing his or her major tips, suggestions, etc. to be published in the next newsletter, that might be a good solution. I have been to workshops, talks, etc. and taken copious notes and have turned around and used those same notes to report to the general membership of a group I belonged to that was unable to attend that particular workshop, sharing all sorts of tips. There is so much to learn that can help us as we plow through records in our quest for our roots, and each meeting that I miss is like a day I've missed at school. I am so eager to know more about the Pee Dee area. Especially its early days. I am reading "Rambles in the Pee Dee" now, and just finished reading Charles Woodmason's book. Thanks for your help in this matter. Joanne Bundy Harley New Bern,NC harleyclan@coastalnet.com

Sandra, I've been in and out of the e-mail flow for a few days but have seen some of your posts on the Richardsons. Are you researching any Richardsons in the Galivants Ferry area? I have a great-aunt who was Isla Richardson, born May 23, 1907. She died October 20, 1987. She's buried at Pisgah Methodist Church near Aynor. She was married to William Robert Miller. I've been posting some Miller Bible information on the mailing list. This William Robert (Rob) Miller was the son of Otis Walker Miller, grandson of William Edwin Miller and Rachael Susan Porter, of Marion County. I haven't researched Aunt Isla's family. There is another family Bible that I think has her information in it.

Hi y'all, A researcher is looking for help with his Dillon-Marlboro ancestors and I wondered if any of you who research the SMITH or LEE surnames have come across this family. James W. SMITH b. 1853 (probably Marlboro Co. ) d. 1917 in Dillon Co., buried Mt. Holly wife, Isabelle LEE, b. 1864 (I think I have this correct but there were two dates for an Isabell(e/a) Lee listed; possibly two different people?) There are more details for this family on the Marlboro County Bibles page: <http://www.rootsweb.com/~scmarlbo/marlboro_Bibles.htm> If you know anything at all about these folks, please contact Mr. Hurd: SkidHurd@aol.com Thanks for listening! Cheers, Victoria

I just could not let this one pass by without notice. Just how an obituary should read, in my opinion. Makes me wish I had known Buck! Thanks, Helen.

I received an e-mail from Terry on the 8th of this month. She and I had been exchanging some information. I didn't know her personally but really enjoyed the e-mail exchanges. She will be missed.

Thanks for the comments, Bill. I will pass them along in January, when we take up the topic again. Of course, the minutes are already published in the PDQ, but I will mention your specific suggestions. The presentation of the program within the newsletter seems to be the route members were most interested in pursuing. Best regards, Jo Church Dickerson

In reply to Joanne: I raised the topic of your taping proposal at the Pee Dee Chapter meeting on Sunday. There was an interesting and lively discussion. Some felt that we did not have the audio equipment or expertise to do a professional job. Others had questions about the actual logistics of copying the tapes, taking orders, and getting them out to people - it would seem to be a major undertaking for some individual from our diminished ranks, and a lack of manpower alone might prohibit us from doing it. It was also pointed out that we seldom have "outside" guest speakers. Generally, members present the monthly programs, and feelings about being taped varied from member to member. No concensus was reached, but it was agreed that we will do a "test" audio taping at the next meeting, in January, and take up the question again at that time. There was agreement that a better effort will be made to have the speaker (whether guest or member) provide an outline of their program for publishing in the Pee Dee Queue. Jo Church Dickerson Joanne Harley wrote: What is the feasibility of having the chapter meetings taped and sold to those of us who are members at a reasonable charge? I would absolutely love to be there for every meeting, but my health simply does not allow me to jump in the car and take off like I use to. Making the tapes available would be such a wonderful thing, especially the talks by the guest speakers. I would love to have a tape of the last meeting, and meant to ask if someone could tape it for me but let time slip by until it was too late. Would you consider proposing having the guest speakers taped, and tapes to be sold, at the next meeting? Thank you.

Terry's father was either principal or superintendent at Britton's Neck School when we were in grade school. He died while serving in that position. That would have been in the 1950's. Sandra R. Pound

Helen, Terry Britt was an active genealogist on our list. This news breaks my heart. Sandra R. Pound

Thanks, Jo; Also, if some proposed topics of discussion were posted to the list before the meeting, I'll bet lots of listers would have comments to make. In fact, if there were a computer at the meeting you could probably get a rousing discussion going in real time. Bill

Hi Jo, It seems to me that as genealogists we are more interested in the topics being discussed than in hearing the actual voices. I think if the minutes of the meetings could be incorporated into the PDQ it would provide the information we want besides providing a permanent record for future researchers. Since space in the newsletter is limited, the usual comments such as "the meeting was called to order....." etc, could be eliminated, perhaps only providing the general topics and specific details provided by the speaker's outline. Somewhere in the minutes (probably at the end), the name of a person to contact, and their e-mail address could be given. This would provide Genealogical Society members a means of contributing to the discussion. Bill
