Family tradition says that my ancestors served in the Civil War and signed up together. I have been unable to locate them at the National Archives and I have not found them in rosters provided on the internet. They all lived in Haywood Co. when the war began. Their names were Joseph Stokely and William R.B. Clements. Serving with them were brother-in-laws James Smoot and Daniel and Norman McLeod. Can anyone give me some clues as to how to find them?

Hello Haywood County Genealogists, Please note I have an address change to acondran@home.com I got tired of waiting for the net to load so I switched to the cable modem. Also now the North Carolina Singletons web site now has a search engine to make it easier for our guests to find their connections. The website url is http://www.geocities.com/~ncsingletons Happy hunting everybody. Hope you are making great progress! Warmly, Anne Singleton Condran

A friend forwarded this to me and its a lovely idea so I'm passing it on to you: One of our superintendent members is organizing this activity in response to the tragedy at Columbine High School. I thought you might be interested in participating and sharing this e-mail with those in your address book. CJ Turn On Your Lights for America As I was driving to work this morning I passed by an elementary school and noticed that the flag had been lowered to half-mast in memory of the students and their families in Littleton, Colorado. What a wonderful gesture that simple act is. But, I thought to myself, what can I do to show others that I too am deeply affected by this tragedy. Turn on a light. Turn on my headlights. Turn on my porch light. But how do I get this message to others? Use the Internet. I'm sending this message to everyone on my email list and am asking that you do the same. I am going to turn on my headlights on Friday morning on my way to work, on Saturday as I run my errands and especially on Sunday as I go to my place of worship. I'm also going to turn on my porch lights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. I'm going to turn on my lights for the families in Littleton to show them that I care about them, that I feel the pain and hurt and heartache. I'm going to turn on my lights for what is right about this country. I'm going to turn on my lights against the darkness, the anger and the prejudice. I hope you will join me. One light is not much but put them together and we can light up the world. Turn on your lights - show that you stand for what is right about America. And as you turn on your headlights and porch lights this weekend; turn on the light in your heart and soul. Show the world that this is not what America is all about. With your light shining bright, along with others, we can come together (if only for a brief moment) and combat the evil that confronts us all. Please pass this email on to everyone on your address list. Let's see if we can get this message to everyone across this great country before Friday morning and let's use the Internet for what it was intended - good. Turn on your headlights Friday, Saturday and Sunday April 23, 24, and 25 Turn on your porch lights Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night April 23, 24, and 25 Light up America. Show that you care about what is right about our country. Pass this email along as soon as possible.

INFOMERCIAL FROM THE LEARNING COMPANY: MORE ON ENGLISH EMIGRATION by Brian Bonner Mavrogeorge <Brian_Mavrogeorge@broder.com> A correspondent asked for more specifics on the records kept in England of people emigrating to the American colonies. He had been unable to find any information. One source to check is "The Complete Book of Emigrants." This is a series of books compiled by Peter Wilson Coldham and published by the Baltimore Genealogical Publishing Co. The complete set is available on CD ROM: <http://www.familytreemaker.com/catalog/index.html>. Coldham consulted many sources in England and the U.S. when abstracting the information for his books. Here are two examples of actions that resulted in "emigration records": (1) English law in 1606 required emigrants to obtain a license, take an oath of allegiance, and submit to examination (few of these records survive); (2) Planters in the American colonies were awarded acreage for each indentured servant brought to the colonies. And as a result, many children and young people were forcibly deported or abducted. Bridewell, a home for the destitute, became a source for indentured servants. Not all went willingly. In 1645 the English parliament Ordered that departing ships be searched to apprehend and bring to justice those who were conveying or receiving children. In 1654 the Bristol Common Council ordered that a register be kept of indentures in an attempt to stop the trade in kidnapped children. Coldham says, "It would have been inconceivable to a 17th-century Englishman to picture Virginia as anything but a disreputable colony since it was largely peopled by the scourings from English prisons, vagrants, waifs, and strays, and those lured into migration by promises of land and wealth." His publications are a good place to start the search. Copied from Roots Web Digest

Hi Folks -- Anyone have any information on a Currin School, which was located in the rural area of Haywood outside of Brownsville? Most students were African American. At one time the principal was Mrs. Maggie Love. I am looking for a photo of this school. Poyznivy@aol.com Ivy Anderson
