Folks, please ignore this. I'm testing the mail system. Mike -- Michael J. Gough ltcolmichaelj@bellsouth.net

Sorry about error; scroll down in my website to "Document of the Month" and click there for the photo. Such hotels were very widely used, there being no reliable automobiles or roads for such yet, and surely no motels. So, every town had hotels and railroad stations in any town of size had these, hoping thereby to gain the business of all folks and crewmen waiting for trains during layovers, transfers and delays. <www.DrakesBooks.com> Paul

I have been asked "What was a 'railroad hotel' and why were those built?" Those were in every town of any size that was served by a railroad throughout the last half of the 19th and first half of the 20th Centuries. I have posted a 1913 photo of one and a short explanation on my website. Paul <www.DrakesBooks.com>

Thanks to all on the response for my test. The only reason I did that was because I was getting lots of email bouncing back to me from a member on the list and I wanted to see if it was "my server/email" or her. cia, cristy

Was someone recently inquiring about a Carey family? Just came across a brief mention in Boddie's "Colonial Surry": "John Carey's dau. Mary married, first, a Mr. Young and secondly, Nathaniel Harrison (1677-1727)"

To All: There is nothing wrong with the VA-Southside List. Messages which are posted are being distributed to members, it's just that no one posted a message for a few days, too busy with holiday stuff! Keep posting!! List Adm. G. Lee Hearl Authentic Appalachian Storyteller Abingdon, Va.

Like most of us old timers I suspect, my Latin is VERY rusty, but send it along and we can take a look.

Hi - I am looking for a magistra who can translate a document written in England about 1617. It pertains to the sentence of John Kyng or Kinge of Duxford, Cambridgeshire. I do not need to know every word; but I would like to understand the gist of it. The document is in a PDF and is quite legible, it is just that I do not know Latin well enough. Thanks, Don

I don't know that professional genealogist, author and speaker Robert Scott "Bob" Davis subscribes to this list. He's most interested in Georgia research and has written several articles and books about research in Georgia and/or Georgia soldiers in American Revolution, etc. I'm not home so I don't have his specific email readily available to me. However, I do know he can be reached through the website for the library at Wallace State College, Cullman, Alabama: http://www.wallacestate.edu/library/. I've always found him to be more than happy to offer help and assistance on Georgia research. You can find the names of some of Bob's books through the Library of Congress and/or other on-line sources. Ruth

Mr. Drake: Thank you for the NC lists. Have you a list of the GA Parishes and their records, please? Thank you. Beth from CA *** I have not attempted to determine which, if any, Georgia parish records exist. Here is a map of those, however. Does anyone out there know of existing records ? http://webpages.charter.net/pdd50/gaparishmap.jpg Paul Drake JD Genealogist & Author <www.DrakesBooks.com> 931-484-9129

Hey Paul, what parish records are there for NC? Thanks a lot. Joe from Ohio. *** Here, again, and contrary to what previously has been written, records remain for several parishes. I have in my library a copy of the vestry minutes of St. Paul's of Chowan (1701-1776) and some of the records remain for St. Andrew's in Tyrril and for Southwest Parish of Pasquotank. Then too, some of the Vestry Book of St. John's of Beaufort for the years 1742 and following remain, and the St. Peters registry also is available at BHM Library, though it may not be checked out. The 1754 NC Vestry Act established the 24 parishes for the NC Colony (Chapter IV, 1754 Session laws). That act also appears in Colonial Records of North Carolina, vol. 25. pp. 298-304. My thanks to Steve Case of NC Archives and to Joann Harley, Terria Baynor, and Sharon Gable (and to Google) for portions of the information following: The parishes are/were as follows by name and then are listed the counties served by those. St. Paul's, Chowan Berkeley, Perquimans St. John's, Pasquotank St. Peter's, Pasquotank Currituck, Currituck Society, Bertie St. Andrew's, Tyrrell St. Thomas's, Beaufort St. George's, Hyde North-West, Northampton St. John's, Granville St. Matthew's, Orange St. Luke's, Rowan St. David's, Cumberland St. Gabriel's, Duplin St. George's, Anson Edgecombe, Edgecombe St. Martin's, Bladen St. James's, east side of Cape Fear River St. Philip's, west side of Cape Fear River St. Patrick's, Johnson Christ Church, Craven St. John's, Onslow St. John's, Carteret Paul Drake JD Genealogist & Author <www.DrakesBooks.com> 931-484-9129
