    3. Margaret's story is true, and I had no reason for having kept that particular paper for many years before then, since it had no significance to me whatever. Moreover, I had bought and sold hundreds of old papers during those years, yet kept that one !!!. Spooky :) I think Margaret's old German ancestor had some hand in that event :) :) One of several spook stories in my genealogy years. Bet Lee has some of the same.

    3. Dearest cousins, friends and fellow researchers, I shall change the subject, even though I have loved this wonderful discussion of 'times past'. I have never shared with you all the strange thing that happened a couple of years ago while I was researching my ORNDORFF ancestor. Paul Drake and I were discussing the above ancestor and I mentioned that they lived in Sharpsburg, Washington County, MD, also mentioning that they had bought property in Washington, DC and how interesting it was to see those plots now overlaid on the current DC. Paul asked for Major Christian Orndorff's wife's name and I told him. He said that the name sure sounded familiar. Your will never believe what happened next! Paul had the ORIGINAL newspaper with her obit. on the front page. He gave me the paper as a gift, all safely enclosed in archival protection and to this day I get chill bumps when I read of her death. Major Christian Orndorff, by the way, is one of my Amer. Rev. ancestors. I bring this to the VA-SOUTHSIDE attention because there is so much information in the old newspapers that one never knows what they might find. So....if you ever can get your hands on old Lunenburg County or surrounding Counties, please, please let me know as I would love to buy/read them after you have read them...of course. Fondly, Margaret

    3. Milk toast is apparently universal. My Mom, in Alabama, always made it for any family member who was not feeling well. I wouldn't admit to being sick until I fell down because I hated it so! Mildred "Mickey" Fournier PO Box 1967, Lake City, FL 32056 mailto:MFournier@atlantic.net

    3. That brings back memories! My mother always made what you-all call milk toast whenever I was sick. However, she called it "toast with gravy." It was the same thing - buttered toast with sugar sprinkled on it, then hot milk poured over it. MMMMM. Mom was from Arkansas. Maybe it's a southern thing? Jo Anna Dale <jdale@swbell.net>

    3. My dear Mr/Mrs. Cooper, Yes, discussing Milk Toast is most definitely genealogy! Dates and places are only teeny-tiny parts of genealogy. How our ancestors lived...which most definitely included their diets, their clothing, their culture in general is what gives them skin and bones and most definitely warm blood. Do be kind and grant us a little sentimental journey every now and then. Also, Mr. William Byrd, 1674-1744 was most definitely an interesting character. Warmest regards, Margaret

    2. Paul Drake

    3. As for me: It has been and remains my view that genealogy is family history, and diet and common foods were very much a part of the lives of our ancestors, just as were types of homes, methods of farming, the maple syrup of New England and the molasses of the South, the open range laws of the west, the dresss of women, firearms, railroads, Native Americans, cotton, corn and herds of cattle, and the medicines we used. All those factors and myriad more influenced our people to the greatest extent during every single day of our long history, and without such knowledge, for me at least, my ancestors become names with no content.

    3. This nickname appears many times. I am trying to sort out a Chambers family that may have come down the Wagon Road, etc. Lots of names are fitting together. For the life of me I can't figure this one out though, and it is not uncommon. I say nickname/name because I recently had a visit with a cousin who I thought would be William Baugh...But no all his records say Billy Gene... Now he named his first son William...but when we go to talking about what they "real name was", this VERY contemporary experience is of interest. Janet
