Thank you Helen, I appreciate your help. I can trace my ancestors back to Marion Co. SC in 1830. Now I just need to get the census from that time. I didn't recognize any of the names you listed in the Rose Hill Cemetery, but I will keep them handy for later. What wont mean much today, could be a hit tomorrow! Again thank you, Windy

I am sure I will get many emails stating this is not related to genealogy, or the list topic. That is ok send them on. I believe everyone needs the opportunity to know this site is here. If you get this more than one time that means we have the same interest, because I am sending this to all of my list to let as many people see this as possible. Doris Moss-Priest http://www.founddogtags.com/ FoundDogTags American businessmen on a trip to Vietnam spotted US servicemen's dog tags for sale at flea markets. They returned to the country and brought back 600+ of these tags and have established a website in hopes of returning the tags to families. Please forward this email to anyone and everyone and get the word out.

Hello everyone. I would like to know if anyone knows who the parents of James Price (b abt. 1822) were? He was married to Maranda Lupo. Any information on descendants of James and Maranda would also be appreciated. I really enjoy reading the posts. I have taken Jo's advice and explored the genweb completely...wish more people could sent pictures to post, it's neat to be able to see what some of the people looked like. Sandy Sanspiv@aol.com

I am looking for information on some relatives that I think ended up in the area of Latta, SC. Mary Elizabeth Harris b about 1865 married John Thomas Beaver b about 1866. Mary was the daughter of Rebecca Tilley Harris and Wilson Harris of Orange County, NC. I have some recent information that leads me to believe that these two are buried at Mt Andrews Cemetery near Floydale, SC. I would be interested in anyone descended from these people or having information on them. Thank you, Tal Harris
