Dear Listers, Nelda Stephenson of Florence, Alabama has recently posted her family genealogy to Rootsweb.com. The data base is huge. It includes 654 Gilchrist entries, more than 3 times as many as any Gilchrist data base previously posted, as well as thousands of entries for the inter- related families. The Gilchrist file begins with Angus Gilchrist Sr. , born about 1713 in Kintyre, Scotland, and includes all of his known descendants that first settled in North Carolina. This link will take you directly to her data base (named neldastephenson) http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=neldastephenson From there, type “Gilchrist” in the surname box provided, click on List, click on surname showing number of entries (in this case “Gilchrist654”) , scroll down in the alphabetical index, click on name desired and it will take you to that page. From there you can view the data in the format you prefer e.g. descendancy. register, ahnentafel and others. (The names of all living persons born after 1930 are shown as “living”.) Recently, while Nelda was researching one of her ancestors, who, according to LUMBER RIVER SCOTS, was buried in Tennessee, she learned that the bodies were there but the grave stones were actually 70 miles away in Alabama. She wrapped that up by tracking down the person who was responsible for moving the markers! This is just one example of the comprehensive effort she has put into this project. Our hats go off to Nelda, and happy hunting to you! Dean Gilchrist
