I thought this was an interesting thing to have on hand. It tells you what state a ssn was issued in. Jamie http://www.tngenweb.org/white/ssn.html http://members.tripod.com/~LadyValois/index.htm

Since there are probably some new folks on the list, along with the fact that we just finished some updating on the site, I'd like to take this opportunity to invite y'all to take a looksee on the Maternal Chart side of my site. This covers primarily Kershaw and Lancaster Counties, SC, going way back. Hoping to hear from some of you who might find mutual connections in this so that we can compare notes.

Posted on: The SCRoots Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/Sponsor/SCRoots/602 Surname: ------------------------- Is anyone here reseaching these two, Robert Hays and Eliza Lee? Or maybe has seen the names in a census? They were born in SC about 1810, and had son George Franklin in Oct 1831 then moved to Al for a time and then moved on to Fl. We can't find out info on their marriage, births etc. We have them on the 1850 census only so far and have the rest of the family tracked well from then on, but before him is a blank... Any info or help is appreciated... Ruth Williams Reed

Posted on: The SCRoots Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/Sponsor/SCRoots/601 Surname: ------------------------- Try looking for the shorter or angelicised name 'Bass' . My Bass family has tradition that it was a french name pronounced "La Bassier'" (or "La Bassea" ('e' as in eel, and 'a' as in apple) if you're unaware of how to pronounce an 'ier" in french...). Also maybe in your searches try La Bass (space between)...

Those of you with Spartanburg Co. connections may be interested in the new deed books. I've included a list of my other books, as well.

In this volume the reader will find all items of genealogical interest appearing in the Carolina Spartan, during the years 1866 through 1872. The vast majority of the abstracts concern events in Spartanburg and Greenville Counties, South Carolina. Besides marriages and deaths, other items are included: probates, administrations, sheriff's sales, church committees, county commissioners lists, unclaimed letters, etc. Lists of defendants in court cases often name South Carolinians who moved out of state. New Prospect Baptist Church Minutes, 1820-1855 and Cemetery Survey by Larry Vehorn. Soft cover, 134 pages, indexed. Price $20 postpaid.

Sometime after 1858, an ancestor of the author copied the minutes and that copy is the basis for this work. This is the only known copy of the church minutes for the time period, as the church lost all early minutes in a fire.
