Hi, IS there any way that you guys can give me any information on Ann Walker_Wallace, she was born in 1817 in Virginia, and she married Edward M Wallace who is from South Carolina, her obituary is an old newspaper article, she was said to be 122 years old Negro woman, her eulogy was given by Jeff J.J. Goodwin (Goodwyn) he was a colored preacher. She died in the home of her daughter on Aug 20, I am assuming around 1939 close to the 1940's. Is there anyway you can tell me what cemetry she was buried in. Her daughter lived in Tyler,Texs. Her husband I believed died Sept of 1950 in Panola County. One of her daughters is Adeline (Adelyne Wallace-Goodwin) she marreid James Goodwin (Jr.) Nov 18 1899 in Panola County >From: "Lawrence E.

Regular Meeting of East Texas Genealogical Society, Tyler, TX Saturday, May 12, 2007 Tyler Public Library - Taylor Auditorium 2:00 p.m. Speaker: Debbie Parker Wayne Program: "Enhancing Your Civil War Story: The Official Records of the U. S. Civil War" The Official Records of the American Civil War, or more simply the "Official Records" or "OR" constitute a unique, authentic, comprehensive collection of first-hand accounts, orders, reports, and correspondence drawn from War and Navy Department records of both Confederate and Union governments. Would you like to add historical context to your Civil War ancestor's biography? Then join us as Debbie Parker Wayne describes the contents of the Official Records, citing case studies to demonstrate use of the information to enhance a family narrative. In addition to methods that can be used with both print and electronic versions of the Official Records, Debbie will give tips for using CD-Rom versions. Starting out as a computer technician, Debbie spent over 25 years in the computer industry. As her education and skill levels increased she moved into training, technical support, computer programming, web design, and database administration. In 1990 her interest and experience with computers provided a perfect complement to a new-found interest in genealogical and family history research. Since then she has worked to expand her own family history and genealogy. Debbie's memberships include: Association of Professional Genealogists, Genealogical Speakers Guild, International Society of Genetic Genealogy, National Genealogical Society, Texas State Genealogical Society, where she serves as District 7 Representative, ETGS, Nacogdoches Genealogical Society, serving as Publications Editor/Committee Chairman, and Angelina County Genealogical Society. Following a short refreshment period, at approximately 3:30 p.m., the Computer Interest Group of the East Texas Genealogical Society will meet. Barbara Galbreath will present a program on "What's in the Tyler Library and how to use their Resource Material and Computers". Information on upcoming programs can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txetgs/meetings.html ETGS will be the local host this year for the Texas State Genealogical Society's annual conference on November 9 and 10, 2007.

For those persons not able to attend our meeting today, you really missed a good meeting. Mike Vaughn was our speaker and he spoke on divorces as a source of genealogical information. It was very informative. He has graciously allowed us to place his handouts on the subject on our society website. His handouts are on the following page: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txetgs/Meetings/2007/200704mtg.html They are Adobe PDF files. There are three of them. The first is an outline of his talk. The second is a form of a bibliography and is very detailed in how to find divorce files in the various states. Divorce files are dependent upon "where" and "when" they occurred, as his talk so completely explained. The third is an example of one divorce which occurred in Kentucky and shows what a varied amount of information might be available. Larry Lawrence E. Oliver ETGS Web Master

Regular Meeting of East Texas Genealogical Society, Tyler, TX Saturday, April 14, 2007 Tyler Public Library - Taylor Auditorium 2:00 p.m. Speaker: Michael J. Vaughn Program: "'Til Death Do Us Part - Not: Divorce Records as a Source of Genealogical Information." An often overlooked source of genealogical information is the record accompanying the dissolution of a family through divorce. Although certainly not a phenomenon of the 20th century, divorce was certainly much more difficult in the colonial and early statehood periods. Generally speaking each colony and then state went through stages in its divorce process: from no divorce to liberal divorce laws, from legislative divorces to judicial divorces. Each stage in the development of the procedure gave rise to different kinds of records that are found in different research venues. This program is designed not only to help the researcher understand what kind of information can be found in early divorce records, but more importantly to understand how divorces were granted and where the records of those proceedings may be found. A brief summary of divorce procedures followed in the original colonies and states, and in all the Southern states, will be provided, along with a general bibliography of source materials for finding divorce records. Mike is a retired attorney who specialized in real estate transactions and commercial law matters. He has been actively involved in genealogical research since 1955. His family has lived in East Texas since 1834. In addition to being an ETGS board member, he is a member of the Sons of the Republic of Texas and the Jamestown Society, as well as other lineage societies. He has published several books and received a first place writing award for family histories from the Texas State Genealogical Society. He has a well earned reputation as an outstanding speaker. The Computer Interest Group of the East Texas Genealogical Society will not meet. After Mike's presentation, ETGS will hold a special reception in honor of our 30th anniversary and will recognize all past presidents. Information on upcoming programs can be found at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~txetgs/meetings.html ETGS will be the local host this year for the Texas State Genealogical Society's annual conference on November 9 and 10, 2007.
