Hi Cousin Jane, Yes indeed we have a connection. Your gggrandmother, Mary Jane Griffith, was the second oldest child of my John Crafty Griffith. I think your Elijah Griffith is part of my family, also, but I have not found the connection yet. I am carrying him in my Family Tree Maker file as an unattached person for the time being so I can collect all the information I can find on him to keep it handy. He is the son of John Griffith, but not of John Crafty Griffith. There are at least two and possibly three John Griffith's around during John Crafty Griffith's time. I think they all could be related to one another. I am guessing they were cousins, but who knows for sure. John Crafty Griffith did have a son named Elijah J. Griffith, but he was born later that your Elijah. I am descended from Sparrel Tyler Griffith. I will send you what I have on John Crafty's children now and if you want more, I can share a lot of Griffith information with you. I would like to get as much information as you can give me on Mary Jane and Elijah.

This I picked up from the Rootsweb report Hope it benefits some of you. VIRGINIA RECORDS (Part One of Two) by Brian Mavrogeorge, Director of Genealogy Initiatives Palladium Interactive <bmavrogeorge@palladium.net> Ultimate Family Tree <http://www.uftree.com> When someone says "the records were burned" I immediately think they must be researching in Virginia. The original capital, Jamestown, was destroyed three times, Richmond was burned in 1865 and many courthouses were destroyed during the Civil War. Virginia research is a challenging quest. The Library of Virginia site <http://www.vsla.edu/lva/lva.html> states: "early official records of births and deaths in Virginia are almost nonexistent." Records for births and deaths were kept in the local parish; there are few marriage records prior to 1730. However, Virginia was one of the early states, after the New England states, to have vital record registration (1853) and to begin recording births and deaths at the county level. But that stopped in 1896 and it was not until 1912 that vital records were again kept statewide. So it is important to establish the parish or the county where an event took place in order to continue your search in church records, cemetery records, and newspapers. For that you need some kind of a statewide index. A good place to start is the "Virginia Historical Index" (1934-36; reprint, Gloucester, Mass.: Peter Smith, 1965). This multi-volume index, often referred to as "Swem's Index," has entries for several historical and biographical publications through the 1930s and 1940s. Don't overlook the Ultimate Family Data Library's Master Index to its collection of Virginia data. The Ultimate Family Data Library's online index <http://www.familyinfo.com> includes abstracts of Virginia records from the mid-1700s to 1800s. You can subscribe to the data online or order it on CD-ROM. Mary Hudson mahud@rollanet.org Personal Home pages http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/3597 http://www.rollanet.org/~mahud/index.html
