I'm a little confused are Norfolk and Portsmouth in the same county? Were they in the same county in 1920 when the 1920 census was taken. I'm looking for family in Norfolk and family in Portsmouth...thanks...Susan

Folks, the January issue of the Journal of Online Genealogy, published by Matthew Helm (http://www.onlinegenealogy.com/) has been published. Matthew has put together what I consider to be one of THE best genealogy journals around and is worth reading each and every month, even if I didn't have a rather selfish reason for posting this now ;) A few weeks back I was asked to write an article concerning the GenExchange for the Journal and it's been published in this issue. You can catch a sneak peek at two announcements we've been hinting we were going to make in the February issue of our monthly newsletter (http://www.genexchange.com/gesr/archive.cfm). I would like to thank Matthew for asking, and for publishing the article and wish to thank all the volunteers and visitors who have made this dream of ours possible. We cannot possibly thank you all enough! Want to keep up to date with the pulse of online genealogy? Read the Journal of Online Genealogy! (http://www.onlinegenealogy.com/) Warmest regards, Anthony & Joanne Abby Genealogy Exchange & Surname Registry - http://www.genexchange.com

List members: This is another P E E D research tool that I thought might be helpful for those of you with PEED connections in this area.

I am looking for any information on the surname SPEAR in the Norfolk, VA area. I have reason to believe that my gr grandfather, Andrew Oscar Spear, and his eldest son, Kemphis Quikote Spear, moved from Columbiana Co., OH to Norfolk, VA sometime after 1910 census was taken in OH. I believe that Andrew and Kemphis lived in Norfolk are and that younger son, Earl Eldridge Spear, may have joined them in that area sometime around 1917. Earl went on to Camden, NC and joined the Army in 1916/17. thanks for any help...Susan

I am researching two of my family names: gallop & parker. The two families live in currituck co., nc. I cannot prove it at this time, but most of the colonial families in currituck(& camden) county moved to the area from SE virginia. Does anyone have any suggestions, where would I start to look at documents(libraries, record centers, etc.) from 1700- ? I would be interested in families living in SE virginia at the time. I would also be interested in any list of immigrants who came to colonial virginia, names, ships, where they landed. Any suggestions. thanks. walter gallop ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Since releasing the first issue of our new newsletter--the Exchange--on January 1st, we have been pretty busy at the GenExchange trying to keep up with all the data submissions. We just reached the 190MB plateau and should cross well over 200MB by our two year anniversary that's coming up on February 7th. Currently 3-5MB is being added to the databases each week by our Project Volunteer Members, and by site visitors. Still the U.S. is a mighty big place and we would like to invite anyone who is willing to help us in our cause of permanetly archiving raw genealogical data with permanent free access, please visit the GenExchange (http://www.genexchange.com). We're still looking for anyone who would be interested in helping in states that do not currently have many (or any) Project Memeber Volunteers, or visitors entering much data. The GenExchange is a community project that relys on the support and assistance of everyone. There are currently 150 Project Member Volunteers who work on dedicated projects, but you need not be a full member to participate. Simply use the GenExchange to conduct research and submit any data you feel like submitting at your conveinence using the easy submission forms. Once you submit a record it is immediately available for other researchers to see. We will be making some fairly important announcements in the February issue of the Exchange due on February 1st; and will also be discussing what makes the GenExchange do what it does. We'll also be discussing our current plans to upgrade the family of servers that "serve" the GenExchange, and how it will improve capabilities for everyone who uses the GenExchange. We're also still accepting nominations for our new monthly award. The awarded web site will be prominently profiled on the main page of the GenExchange for the month and will compete with the other eleven monthly winners for a special award in January 2000. Back issues of the Exchange, as well as information about how to nominate your site for our award are located at http://www.genexchange.com/gesr/archive.cfm.

Hi gang, I called the City of Norfolk today, chancery division... I asked this question: "Can you tell me if you house guardianship records and from what years to what years?" The guy who answered the phone said, "I don't know, cause I wasn't around back then".. I swear that is what he said to me...... (Oddly enough gang, I called last year and he is the same person who said the very same thing to me then, when I asked this same question!) I was so mad... His name is Joe Rabino. I plan to call the Attorney General's Office tomorrow and let them know what this guy said to me. He was hateful to me when he said this and smart elick too... Guardianship records are totally necessary for us to have in doing genealogy! When a father died, even when there was a mother left to raise the children..the courts legally appointed a "guardian for what they determined back then to be Orphans"...(any child without a father in the 1800's was legally an orphan)... Ask me if I am ticked off? Sooo, if you have this information about Norfolk and for Chesapeake, please email me...thanks guys Susan in VA --------------------------------------------------------------- THE PAST EXPLAINS THE PRESENT JENKINS/DAVIS/GAYLE/SMITH/MURRAY/ GODWIN/PARKER/WHITEHEAD/FRAZIER/CURRIN --------------------------------------------------------------- ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Hi My Donovans lived in Norfolk sometime between 1857 and 1863 when they moved to Indiana. I believed they lived with family. Here is the family and I hope someone recognizes them. James P. Donovan born Ireland 1831, son of William Donovan, married to Ellen Lynch born 1830 Ireland, daughter of Hugh Lynch. At that time they had the following children: William H. Donovan born 1855 New York Thomas F. Donovan born 1857 New York Mary Elizabeth Donovan born 1861 Virginia. The next child was born in 1863 in Indiana. I imagine the Civil War drove them out. When James died January 12, 1910, they sent copied the obit to both Macon, MO and Norfolk, VA. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Susan; I assume that pictures in newspapers can be used, but I could be wrong. :) Maybe some of our members have had experience with that, and could help us out here. And the books, gee those pictures sound so great, and I would really love to have them; but I guess it depends on when the books were written, as to whether the copyright law would be in effect. The safest way would probably be to write to the publisher of the books, the address should be on the book somewhere, and get their 'permission' first.... If the pictures were of early Portsmouth, then maybe the people who put them in the book got them from somewhere, like an Archives and under public domain?????

Hi Marcia, People in Bertie county, Gates, Hertford and a lot of the counties of NC came to Norfolk county for work in the shipyard here..they traveled back and forth a great deal, some owned land in both VA and NC... the city of Chesapeak has all the very old marriage bonds and early deed information, plus land grant information at their courthouse. Send a letter to Chesapeake Courthouse and ask for an index to the marriage bonds for ancestor...once you get this paper, check out what the wives last names were..then send for the will index for both surnames after you have run them up on the census to see when they disappear from the roll..(that way you'll have an idea where and when they might have died) and send to the "origianl" county for the index of wills for both surnames... this is true of any county they might have died in... in any state. In VA and NC the counties changed names..so you have to contact the county that was the first county in these states..in the case of VA Norfolk county houses all the early VA records..but you need them to send you and "index". Also, when the male head of household died, the children were considered "orphans" even if they had a mother living..so usually a member of the family was given the guardianship of the children..this could have been someone on the mother's side or the father's side..so you need to check wills of both sides to find additioinal info on your ancestors. Hope this helps.

Hi Listers, Looking for information on MISS SUSAN B. NORRISS, dau. of JAMES NORRISS who married RICHARD PEBWORTH 1819 Norfolk or Princess Anne Co., Va. They had 2 children that I know of: MARTHA PEBWORTH b. ca 1820; m. RICHARD LAND, Jan. 1, 1839, Norfolk, Va. and JAMES NORRISS PEBWORTH b. 1831, Princess Anne Co.,; m. MARY CORNELIA DOZIER. Susan d. somewhere between 1831 and 1834. Does anyone know the mother of SUSAN B. NORRISS? How about - What does the letter B stand for? Does anyone know the parents of RICHARD PEBWORTH? I think is could be a WHITEHURST. I've been stuck on these folks for about 20 years. Thanks for any suggestions or information. Clare Pebworth Clearwater, Fla. ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
