Listmembers, Is there anyone who would be willing to do a marriage look-up at the Pulaski Co. Courthouse??? I'm seeking the parents from the marriage between Mary Bentley Whitt and Beverly Paris Ratcliff which took place on 9/28/1904 in Radford, VA. There is possibility that it may be recorded in Pulaski Co.; so, I'm posting this to both Pulaski list and Montgomery list. Many Thanks, Doug Lovell in Ohio [email protected]

Posted on: Pulaski Co. Va Deeds Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/PulaskiDeed/5 Surname: ------------------------- We are under contract to buy (and sure hope to) a brick home circa 1915 across the street from the Pulaski Depot (and current Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce). It is on Dora Highway. Does anyone have any info on this residence? (Original owners, ect.?) Anything would be greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Andrew has given us more cemetery info and I finally got it online today. The info is Grantham Cemetery near Draper and Showalter Cemetery in Snowville. Pulaski County Genealogy Club voted to work with the Heritage Book on Pulaski County. Our deadline is August 31. Everyone can put in a 500 word article on their Pulaski family and one free photo. Send the info to our P.O. Box 1299, Pulaski or if you need more info contact me. We will have a monthly Heritage club meeting before our regular PCGC meeting on Feb. 27. Enjoy, Rhonda Smith _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
