Hello everyone, I just found out that there is a Holladay/ Holliday list. I posted how to join it on the lists page linked to all of the pages that I tend to. My friend and the best teaching assistant ever to enter my classroom door just got on the internet this week. How about giving her a welcome if you have the time. Her name is Tarsha Clark and last year I converted her to ancestor worship ;) and she is hooked. Now she is on the net too. She is looking for Smiths right now. She has managed to find where her ancestors were in Williamsburg and were owned by a family and the surname illudes me at the moment. Anyway, it was a name starting with Mc. They ended up in the Stateburg area of Sumter County and across the border a bit in Kershaw. The Clark side of the family is from Wedgefield (Sumter County) Her e-mail address is [email protected] (Her mom is remarried and her last name is Council.) (Tarsha hasn't joined this list yet. I looked. She is still figuring out surfing, e-mail next.) Oh, the Clarendon County Archives is having a grand opening celebration on the 24th. Can't wait. Candlelight tour and everything. Sounds like fun. Wendy the archivist's e-mail address is on the archives page which is part of the Clarendon page. The Sumter County Fair was last week. We didn't go but are planning on heading to the State Fair in Columbia on Saturday. I haven't been to Columbia in ages when I wasn't headed for the State Archives. I won't know how to act being in Richland County and not going rooting. Can I make it :) Bye, Love from Sumter Cindy
