I sent that message from Juno to NetScape, went to the internet and had no problem. It wasn't rejected and neither was I told there was an attachment much less that it might be unsafe.

Yes, but if you follow migration patterns from Georgia or South Carolina to Tennessee before 1800 chances are you may find where they originally settled when they came to the U.S. McKelvey is probably an Irish or Scottish name and a lot of them were Presbyterian, so wherever they settled would have been near their church or families of the same religion.. Also check other family names near where they lived. Yoy can check census records and see if there were any family members living close by or names associated with McElvey. Fran

I'm looking for any and all info regarding my McElvy/McElvey family. Specifically, I'm looking for the parents, birth place and marriage of my g-g-g-grandfather. William McElvy was born 1778, married Barbary Reeves in 1779 and died in Decatur co, GA in 1842. I have him in Burke Co, GA in 1802, then in Tattnall Co, GA in 1820 and then in Decatur Co, GA in 1821. In a letter written by him, he states that his parents were of European origin and died during the revolution leaving him with out guardian. It is assumed that he is referring to the American Revolution. This family may be from Scotland or Ireland. I'm also looking for any info on this family from 1802 forward. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Liz Gerlits Palm Bay, FL

Ellen, All I know is my Tom Reid had two children, a daughter (Willie Alice) and a son (unknown). I thought if I can find a Tom Reid and family in GA, on the 1860 census I could get some hint. I am not certain if they left with the wagon train from SC or GA or even another State. I wish I could tell you more because I know how brick walls make you feel. Maybe some day....

In the surrounding census pages in 1910, I find others from SC, some of the names traceable to Sumter Co, SC. I’d like to commmunicate with some others whose family members migrated there as well. In addition to seeking possible relatives, I am currently researching some of the reasons for this migration – the specific forces that may have enticed them to leave Sumter Co, SC and the factors that made Gainesville attractive to an African American family. I’d love to chat with any others whose ancestors did the same or who has an interest in this topic. Regards, D. Green
