Dear List, FYI, in case anyone who has FTM programs doesn't know this, you can find the date for anytime, and print a calendar too, in the calendar section of your FTM program. All you have to do is reset the year for the year you want. It's great. Heather

I use Print Shop to do my greeting cards, banners and calendars. Am sure other similar programs will do the same. I can print calendars for the 1800's, 1900's, 2000's. Especially helpful when I have a newspaper obit which says they died last Sunday. I print out a calendar for that month and year and file it with the Obit. Virginia

I have a good one for everyone. On what day of the week did July 10th 1864 fall? I'm asking as I have an old Civil War letter that was dated then and I'm also hoping someone can send me to a URL that can assist with a perpetual calendar. Fred Gordon in Texas

I think I have finally found the Randolph's in Giles Co. that I have been looking for, a great big thanks to all who has helped me get over this part of my brick wall. However, I still have a few questions & am hoping someone can help find an answer. According to the 1910 Giles Co. Census, Frank Randolph was 53, Martha ( his wife ) was 65, a daughter that I can not make out the name of was 21, Emma L. ( my grandmother ) was 18, Ida B. was 18, and a son named Walter was 14. I found these Randolph's on the 4 th civil district, 18-06a. All of the above mentioned were born in Tennessee. Would anyone happen to know... 1) Who was james frank Randolph's parents ? 2) Who was Martha A. Stafford's parents ? 3) Who did Ida Bell or ( belle ) marry ? 4) Who was this other sister ? 5) What ever happened to Walter ? if the census is true, and i believe it is, Martha was born abt. 1845 which means that she was abt. 51 when she gave birth to Walter. Just thought i would throw that in, seemed somewhat strange to me at first to be bearing children at that age, but then again my grandmother ( my mom's mother ) was 40 when she had her last child, so i guess it is not so uncommon afterall, huh ? Anyway, if there is anyone out there who can help me with this family I would appreciate it. and no, I do not expect everyone to do the work for me, but hoping maybe someone might have some info that they may be willing to share. Thanks in advance. Robbie

Does anyone have GORDON connection to the McCandless surname in their database? I have a Gordon line but can't find anything on any McCandless' marrying into it in and around Giles Co., Tennessee (or anywhere else for that matter). I know that there were several Gordon's in that area and not all of them were directly related. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Fred Gordon in Texas

I am seeking the names of the parents of ISHMAEL BOSWELL and the marriage date of Ishmael and NANCY ANN SULLIVAN. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Both are buried in the Boswell family cemetery in Giles Co. Ann lists her state and county of birth as Laurens Co. S.C. He first shows up in a property tax record of 1836 in Giles Co. If any one knows of siblings of Ishmael I also would appreciate that info. Thanks, Carol Cies

Does anyone on the list have access to the 1880, 1900, or 1910 census of Giles Co.? Desperately trying to find out info on the Long's and Randolph's from Giles Co. Tn. Long, Daniel Long, Wilson born 1892/93 Long, Wesley Long, Wiley Long, Maggie Randolph, James Frank ( head ) Randolph, Martha A ( wife) Randolph, Emma L ( daughter ) born July 7, 1892 and any other names that may be listed in the Randolph house-hold Thank you Robbie

Anyone on the list know anything about James Frank Randolph and Family ? I have a paper that shows James Frank Randolph married Martha A. Stafford in Giles Co. Tn on March 12, 1891. I have another paper that states these are the parents of my grandmother, Emma Lee Randolph, born July 7, 1892 in Giles Co. They had another daughter, her name was Ida, she was born in 1893, also in Giles Co. I spoke with my aunt and she remembers several children being born into this family. Walter, Mary Lou, Sam, and Ann or Anne. If anyone knows of this family, any and all info would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Robbie

According to the LDS online, my grandmother Emma Lee Randolph was born ABT 1893 in Giles Co. Tn. Her parents were James Frank Randolph and Martha Stafford. James Frank Randolph married Martha Stafford on March 12, 1891 in Giles Co. Tn. I also found an Ida Belle Randolph born 1893 in Giles Co. Tn. same parents as my grandmother. Would anyone on the list just so happen to know of these folks ? Any and all info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Robbie

Who was Daniel Long's Parents? When was Daniel Long born ? According to records he was married on Oct. 15, 1882, to Sarah J. Johnson, but can not find him in any of the census. When did he die ? Where did he die ? Was Wilson Long, Wesley Long, Ezra Long, Maggie Long, and Wiley Long really Daniel Long's children ? When and where were Wesley, Ezra. Maggie, and Wiley born ? According to records Wilson Long was born on April 7, 1892 in Giles Co. Who did Wesley, Ezra, Maggie, and Wiley marry ? According to records Wilson Long married Emma Lee Randolph on July 3, 1910 in Giles Co. Could it be possible that the 2 Long's found named Wesley Long and Ezra Long were my uncles ? Both are listed in the cemetery listings... Wesley Long born 12/ 31 / 1896 and died on 8/ 21 / 1975 buried at the MNW cemetery. Ezra Long 1881 only date, buried at the BC cemetery. As you can see, I have still alot of unanswered questions, brick walls, so if there is anyone out there who could maybe shed some light here at the end of this tunnel, I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you in advance from the bottom of my heart. Good luck in all your own searches. Robbie
