Hello all, I saw this post on the Tazewell Co GenWeb query page and thought I would post to the list. Someone might find a photo of a relative. For more info contact Debbie directly; I do not think that she is a member of the mailing list. ~Linda ================================== I have 1940 pictures === Posted by Debbie <[email protected]> on Mon, 21 Aug 2000 === I have a scrapbook and box full of pictures that were taken in the 1940's in and around Falls Mills. They belonged to my dad RALEIGH TABOR. Most all are his friends and class mates. I would love to find the people in these pictures or their families to give them these pictures. Some of the names are Phillips, LaFon, Earnest, Staples, Kahle, Felty, Sturges, Kirk, Christian, and some more. I have a couple of pictures of the Bunny Hop dance in the 40 at Graham High School and the 1940 Cheerleaders for Graham High, Please help me find these families. Thanks Genealogy - Always looking for HUNNELL , CRUEY , PUCKETT , LAMBERT , HARRIS, TATUM , & STEEL(E) in SW Va . http://community.webtv.net/POOLLINDA/HUNNELLFAMILY

I just wanted to take this time to apologize to everyone for how far behind I have fallen with the Archives. This has been one heck of a summer :) But it's been fun, just extremely busy. I have updated the WV counties with files recieved during July, so those are already online for you to see. I am now working on the Virginia Counties. The first update I do will be for files rcvd in July, so if you've sent a file in August, it won't be on this update. I need to finish one month before I begin on another. My youngest just started kindergarten and I haven't started back to work yet, so next week I plan to spend getting everything all caught up. Assuming nothing goes wrong, I should have time to get it all done. Thank you all for your patience with me :) Also, I have inherited three new counties in Virginia and will begin working on those web pages after I have finished my work on the counties I have pending files for. Those counties are Goochland, Henrico, and Hanover. So be thinking of anything that you'd like to submit for those counties and soon I'll be posting new files there as well. Thanks again for all of you who have supported me and the archives. I hope to be more prompt in the future :) Jeannie ************* Now Available: "The Descendants of John Thomas Clay, Jamestown Immigrant and son of Sir John Clay of Wales" Also available: "The Descendants of James Bailey & Lucy Simms" For more info: http://www.trellis.net/users/madamx

Ann, Do you have dates for John Francis Brown? My great grandmother was Francis Elizabeth Brown. She married James Raleigh Linkous. On their marriage license, it says she is the daughter of J. F.Brown. Same person? Granny Linkous was born circa 1875 and died in 1959. The marriage took place at J. W. Sparks house in 1894. I believe that Joshua William was related to both of them in some way. He was Raleigh's grandfather - I am not sure of the relationship to Fanny - just know that her mother was Martha H. Sparks, d/o Robert and Susan Sparks. I just don't know Robert's relationship to Joshua William Sparks. Any hints out there?

Shiela, The only Browns are a Hubert Winnie D. Janet

Shiela, Let me get back to you; I have company in until Wednesday. I promise after they leave I can get caught up. Janet

Paula, Didn't see any of the children, the only Mahoods listed are: Margaret J. Mahood Mary Mahood Robert A. Mahood Stephen Mahood James Mahood Alexandria Mahood Janet

Janet, I am sorry. I was really only asking about James and Rachel Stobough Conley. My signature line was too close and you thought I wanted to know about all of them. However, since you looked - was there a J. F. Brown and/or Martha Sparks Brown? I haven't found much on them. They may have stayed in NC - their daughter was in Tazewell, but I am not sure about them. Thanks!
