FORWARDED with permission: Hi group, I have been transcribing Bible records from the Family Bibles being offered at Ebay when the photos of the records pages are legible. I hope in this way, at least some of these won't be lost when the Bibles are purchased and disappear. Be sure to check the indexes to see all surnames in the transcriptions. You can see these at: http://www.ancestorhunt.com/family_bible_records.htm All transcriptions have been indexed and the indexes are at: http://www.ancestorhunt.com/family_bibles_index.htm Hope these will help someone.

Hi all. I have added more maps to the EarlyVA map site. I still have to find time to upload a few more... they will be there soon. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~mcampbel/EarlyVA/index.htm Margie Campbell in Lodi, CA USA If anyone has an Ellis Campbell/ Camel born in VA in 1804, would love to know. Also, does anyone show a marriage record for James Campbell & Elizabeth Mehlander/Meklander circa late 1700's? I have been told they are the parents of this Ellis Campbell. This based on the surname of Elizabeth.

The extra category for males - the 16-18 year old category - is NOT an extra male but refers to a male in the 16-26 category who happened to be between 16-18 years old. WHY - the war of 1812 had concluded but the gov't was very very concerned of another war and needed a count of males who would be available to fight in the next ten years - thus the category of 16-18 males was created.

Donna you have to be able to see top of census page. There are column heads there that tell you what they are.

Hello from Danville, I don't know how much the rest of you know about the Pittsylvania County Heritage Book that's currently in the creation stage. On that basis I would like to thank our list administrator, with whom I've already been in contact about this matter, for allowing me to post the information below about the book. As you'll note, I've written the material below with the idea that none of you will have already heard/read anything about the book. The Pittsylvania County Heritage Book Committee, of which I am a member, is still collecting stories for inclusion in the book as well as taking prepaid orders for copies of the book. It will not be possible to simply "wait for the book to come out" before buying one. These books are only sold by pre-order, not through book stores or news stands. As I stated below, I'll be glad to help further if anyone has any questions, so please feel free to contact me. Richard B. Anderson, Jr., Danville, Virginia --------------------------------------------- COUNTY HERITAGE BOOK BEING CREATED FOR PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY For those people who might be interested in submitting a story about ancestors of theirs who lived in Pittsylvania County, a Heritage Book is being created for the county and the committee in charge is looking for stories to publish. Anyone interested in submitting stories for publication should keep in mind that these stories must be typed, double-spaced, and be limited to 500 words. Also, each person/family may submit one story and photo free of charge, with each word over the 500-word minimum costing 10¢ apiece. At the end of each article, the submitter must include his/her name, address, phone number and/or e-mail address in case there is reason for the committee to contact them. Also, submitters must include at least brief references [at the end of each article] about where their information came from [i.e. court records, marriage records, etc., of Pittsylvania County], family knowledge, personal knowledge]. If a photo is to be submitted with the article, then the intended caption for the photo should be typed at the end of the article. The Committee also needs to know how many words are in each article [NOT INCLUDING the title, submitters information, sources, or photo caption(s)], and that information should be typed at the end of each article. If you have no means of typing your article(s), dont let that stop you. Find a friend or relative who would type it for you [an article of 500 words double-spaced is between 1½-2 pages long], or look in your phone book to find a paid typist. Other types of articles will also be accepted for this Heritage Book, including stories on local churches, civic groups, historical sites, etc., but there will be other limitations on space, depending on the topic(s). Most of the above, that have no direct association with a particular family, will be limited to 250 words free and 1 photo, although the churches section will include longer articles for those churches that are over 100 years old [500 words for those churches over 200 years old and 750 words for those churches over 250 years old]. Also to be included is a section related to military service people, to recognize the active military and veterans from WWI to the present day. That section is limited to 100 words per story, plus a photo of the service person in uniform, to be published free of charge. For more details about this project, please contact me privately [NOT through the list]. ===================================================== IMPORTANT NOTE -- The deadline for submitting stories and placing orders to buy the book [the ONLY way these books will be sold is through pre-order] is Monday, December 15, 2003. Any items not postmarked and/or received by that date cannot be guaranteed inclusion in the book.

I would like to recognize someone for making a major contribution to the Virginia USGenWeb Archives. Von Stachon <vstach@ix.netcom.com> started transcribing and contributing documents in August of this year, and has just completed her project. Here is a tally of her work: Southampton........294 Surry...............72 Richmond............47 Culpeper............75 Greensville.........23 Spotsylvania........57 Augusta..............1 Alexandria...........1 Brunswick............1 Charles City.........1 Sussex...............1 Prince George........4.......total= 577 On behalf of the many people who will benefit from the all of this hard work, a heart felt THANK YOU! Mike File Manager, Virginia USGenWeb Archives
