Posted on: Union Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Union/824 Surname: Hammock, Collins ------------------------- I found your Sterling Hammock family in Grainger Co, not Union. In the 1870 census, I find Sterling 55, Mary 45, Alley (f) 25, Evealine or Emeline 23, Manerva/Minerva 15, Henry 9, Matilda 7, Louisa 5, Wm 5, Eli 20, Mary 20 (wife) Jane 5, Robert 3 Margaret 3 months. I found Sterling and his family in the 1880 census, with the exception Henry, but was unable to find Eli and his family. Checked the Union Co 1880 census but didn't find him there either. Do you know when he may have gone to Virginia?

That way you could look at all the records in that county." This is interesting. And I'm always looking for new thing to try on these batch numbers and especially accessing records via the computer. I gave this a try: I entered the Region 'North America' Then I entered a batch number and clicked the 'Search' tab. Well I got that marriage record starting with surnames beginning with A and ending with surnames beginning with Z. So it works! This is a very useful tip. Thanks a lot for sharing that tip, Carol.

Hi everyone, Yesterday I forwarded an e-mail from Richard that came up with a lot of junk at the beginning, so I am re-posting a cleaned up version of it. Brenda Subject: Other Records can be accessed through the LDS Web Page There are other records one can access through the LDS Web Page. You can access Christening Records the same way you access Marriage Records. However the Christening Records are very, very selective and not quite as numerous as the Marriage Records. I'll give you an example: I wanted to find out if the birth of a Mary V. Davis was recorded in Pike Co., MO. This particular person is my gg Grandmother who married William L. Cottrell. I did the same procedure for the Marriage Records, except in place of the 'M', I placed the letter 'C'. Last Name: Davis------Region: North America-----Batch Number : C515602 This is the result:---Ann Davis---Christened: 1 Oct. 1865 Pike, Missouri---Father: Henry Davis---Mother: Rosannah Davis Batch Number: C515602----Years: -1865------Source: 0974634 I clicked on Source and it gave me this: Marriage Records, 1825-1916 Pike County (Missouri). Recorder of Deeds. So records do exist. It is just that these records are selective. Also there is a way to find out exactly what records exist for a county in any state. When you logon the LDS web page once again you will see four tabs: Home, Search, Share, Library-----Click on the 'Library' tab---Once the page appears you will see four tabs labeled: Family History Library-----Family History Centers-------Family History Library Catalog-------Education Click on the 'Family History Library Catalog' tab, go ahead and click on this item. Once the page appears you will see a 'Place Search' tab, go ahead and click on this item. Then when the page appears you will see 'Place', then type in Monroe Then click the 'Search' tab. When the page appears what you are going to get is every place named Monroe in the US and maybe even worldwide. Scroll down and find: Tennessee, Monroe and click on this item. The next page that will appear will list everything for Monroe Co., TN. that is in the LDS system. Scroll through and click on any item you wish to look at in that county. I clicked on the: Tennessee, Monroe-Vital records. When the page appeared I got a listing of Vital records for Monroe Co., TN. that is in the LDS system. I clicked on 'Marriage Records, 1838-1915, Monroe County, (Tennessee). County Clerk. And when the page appeared at the very top of the page was a 'View Film Notes' and I clicked on that item. The next page gave me a complete breakdown of the marriage records for Monroe Co., TN. thea are on microfilm in the LDS system. The benefit of doing this and finding this info is that now I have some kind of idea what records or or other records have been done for Monroe Co., TN. Now I'm not affiliated with the LDS Church, but one thing I do know is these folks have acquired a lot of info and it certainly doesn't hurt to know just what they have in the way of records. Also I can go to the Courthouse or Public Library and possibly check and see if they have any of these records. Now that I know what to look for it makes it much easier to find the info. Plus I can contact other Researchers and see if they have any of this info or know where it might be located. That's it. Richard

Posted on: Union Co. Tn Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tn/Union/816 Surname: shelby, mcfarland, sheckles ------------------------- thanks for the information on Sarelda and john. here's what i know: sharon and i were traipsing through mossy creek cemetery (union county) last summer and we came across two shelby tombstones, one for "Naomi (Nancy Oma) Shelby wife of John Shelby, Born May 1830, Died Jan 1961, and one for "Sarelda, Wife of John Shelby, Born 1843, Died June 9, 1879". i know sarelda's death date is a little inconsistent with the census data in your record, i suppose people are sometimes buried prematurely, but i we did see them and the engravings are quite legible. Naomi had a significantly larger marker, possibly because john was still alive. they both died young enough to suggest tragic circumstances. hope this information is useful. i can send you a map if you like. if you get any new information i would be interested. thanks jkr
