is that a phone number in the ad ? if so has anyone checked it out ? with my up coming trip to the east coast, I won't be able to get to that area of VA until the day after the sale ends :( Ken - hdpth-DNA Original Message: ----------------- From: Kith-n-Kin [email protected] Date: Sat, 15 Oct 2005 14:09:21 -0700 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [VAROOTS] slave,confederate and union documents just fyi, Dorothy >>>Once in a while something rare is found but not whole batches of old records. Of course, anything can happen but this looks like a rip off to me.<<< No reason that I know of that any or all of those items could not have survived. I think this thread got a little confusing. The exact text of the ad is: "An Historical Document, Photograph & Artifact sale Slave, Confederate & Union Documents. Princess Anne county, Norfolk, Military items, 1700's - 1940's, Daguerreo types, Ambro types, Tin types, Nov. 4th, 5th & 6th 3900 Bonney Rd, Va. Bch. 581-7200" I'd sure like to go through the batch myself! Maybe I'll see if my VA Beach cousin would like to be the family rep there.
