Eddie, Unfortunately, my family doesn't like Black Eyed Peas. I substitute soup beans (Pinto Beans for those who don't know soup beans), mashed potatoes, collard greens with ham hock and a big pan of corn bread and sweet tea or coffee! Can't miss having good luck all year starting that way. Carline :) God Bless America 10minpin@earthlink.com

Now you've got me humming that old Phil Harris song "That's What I Like about the South" Cornbread and turnip greens Ham hocks and butter beans Mardi Gras down in New Orleans And that's what I like about the south I don't know about those butter beans - prefer black-eye peas, myself. --- glh <glh@naxs.com> wrote: > Eddie, > Down South the traditional New Years Day meal > is ham hock, collard greens > and blackeyed peas. yumm!

Folks, The list has been quiet during Christmas. Merry Christmas (late) to all. Happy New Year. We still have almost 500 members but there is little activity. We get new members all the time so it is o.k. to post your current research/surnames. I was shopping yesterday and preparing for the traditional (in my family) meal. One can't get country ham in S. CA. (this place is primitive) and I had to go to two stores to find the blackeyed peas. I invite members to post what their traditional New Year's Day meal was. Ours was ham, blackeyed peas, and something I have forgot. To have that meal was to ensure that it would be a prosperous year. DO NOT CLICK REPLY, but post to the list address. -eddie owner

Thank you all for your replies and suggestions to the question on education in early Wythe County, VA. John Murnan

To the list, I'm Sorry , I failed to include the county regarding my question. Ivan Hoe is in Wythe,County Va. Thanks again John Murnan

"In the late 1980s, Helen Lewis worked with local people in Ivanhoe to gather and transcribe stories that were ultimately published in two volumes: Remembering Our Past, Sharing Our Future and Telling Our Stories, Sharing Our Lives." You might try to find a ocpy of this work, perhaps through a library or by ontacting a county society. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!

Ivanhoe was one of several towns that were creations of the Norfolk and Western Railway in the late 1800s. (Before that, it was called Red Bluff.) It was in the iron, copper, lead and zinc belt of the southern part of SW VA. Like most small rural communities around the turn-of-the-century, it probably had at least a country school house, though it might have been a good walk or ride to it for many of its students. For advanced education, I think he would have to have left Ivanhoe for one of the larger communities with an academy or college of some sort. Eighth grade was as much schooling as many rural residents were able to obtain in that period. There were substantial elementary and high schools in Wytheville at about that time. See the following site for more, including pictures of some old schools at Ivanhoe. http://www.visitwytheville.com/ivanhoe.htm --- John Murnan <murnan@bitwisesystems.com> wrote: > Hello to list, > > I have a question that someone may be able to > help me with. > If a man were born in 1883, three to five miles > from Ivan Hoe, Virginia and > lived in that area until he was at least 19 > years old, and supposing that he > attended school, what schooling/education would > have been available to him > in that area at that time? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Hello to list, I have a question that someone may be able to help me with. If a man were born in 1883, three to five miles from Ivan Hoe, Virginia and lived in that area until he was at least 19 years old, and supposing that he attended school, what schooling/education would have been available to him in that area at that time? Thank you, John Murnan

Judy, I'm glad you enjoyed the historical CD. It certainly was a labor of love to put together. Our ancestors were such remarkable people. The URL for the website describing it is: http://www.mounet.com/~echo/ppp.htm I agree, it makes a great Christmas present for others afflicted with a passion for history and genaelogy. I think your Dad will find many hours of pleasure in it. Have a good holiday. Danny
