Hi List, I would like to correct a BIG error I made yesterday when I posted a message for the first time to this list. I gave the wrong spelling of the surname of the person I was trying to find for a friend. I will attempt to give the correct information this time. I am trying to find any information into the families of BURDISHAW and VICK. Frances BURDISHAW was abt. 1885-1889: unknown d. Pinebluff Arkansas Feb. 1960 marriage date unknown. She married an Augustus G. VICK. They were from Moultrie, Colquitt County, Georgia. They had 5 children. Clarence, Sally, Eva, Ruby and Carl Minor VICK. Carl Minor VICK was born Jan 15, 1909 in Moultrie, Georgia and died in Crystal River, Fl, Aug. 13, 1993. He married a Mildred Dare ROBBINS. She also died in Crystal River, Fl, 1991-1992. The person I am working with on this has very little information on her family except what has been found on her parents documents. She has been told that they were self-employed but does not know what kind of business. Believes it to be a grocery-type business. Until she received her parents documents, she did not know the proper names of her grandparents. She has also been told that they moved back and forth between Georgia and Alabama for years before her father settled down permanently in Florida. I know that this is very little to go on but if you have any information on any VICK or BURDISHAW family in the Moutrie or Colquitt County area that may be related, I would like to hear from you. We cannot write for documents without some kind of info to work with. Thank-you all very much for your time. Sue Jones macduff@citrus.infi.net

I have an example on what you are trying to say. I was researching someone on my mothers side who happened to be Confederate soldier. I was searching around some pages of queries from the countty I thought he was from and found someone with the same last name.

The 'Stars and Bars' was > two horizontal red bars, one white, with a blue field and white stars. This flag was flown over Fort Sumter. 'Stainless' banner replaced the red bars with a solid white. This would be the second national flag, replacing the 7 stars in a circle with 13 stars in the x pattern( St. Andrews cross.) The 'Jackson' > Flag added a vertical red bar at the end of the flag, and the 'Battle' flag > replaced the field of stars. This would be the third national flag. Only a very few of these were ever made. Confederate ships flew variations of first national and second national, but always had a 12' "naval Jack" ready for hoisting. And I have always thought that the Bonnie Blue was a Alabama secession flag, before the Confederate gov, was in place, not a designated flag of the confederacy, I may be mistaken. And if someone is looking for something to pin down as a Battle Flag, good luck, there were so many designs on the feild of battle that it would be kinda hard. I am glad there is people out there with your knowledge, thats the problem with the world today, if your not educated on something "its Bad".

Haven't visited this yet, but it looks promising. You might want to take a look. Jack Landers - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- - --------------------------------------------- Hi All, I got this from my Virginia listserv and thought others might find it useful. Ruth ROCKEFELLER LIBRARY UNVEILS NEW WEBSITE The John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library has unveiled a greatly expanded section on the Colonial Williamsburg website (http://www.history.org), offering individuals interested in the Colonial Chesapeake the opportunity to search the library's vast collections. New features include PATRIOT, the Rockefeller Library's online catalog listing the 68,000 titles in the Library, and guides to manuscript, microfilm, selected photograph and other research collections, such as the Shirley Plantation Collection of over 18,000 manuscript items. Previously, individuals had to physically visit the library or be connected to an internal network to access these resources. "We have electronically opened the doors to our major collections by adding finding aids and the Library catalog to the World Wide Web," says Public Services Librarian Juleigh Clark. "Now, when researchers come to the Library, they will have a better idea of what we own, and we can serve them more efficiently." Other features on the website include a virtual exhibit of some of the treasures from the Rockefeller Library's rare book and manuscript collections and special indexes to articles in The Colonial Williamsburg Journal and The Colonial Williamsburg Interpreter. Of special interest is an index to the several hundred research reports written at Colonial Williamsburg over the last sixty years. Early American History Research Reports are distinguished for the significant amount of primary source material in them and for their time and place specificity: eighteenth-century Virginia. The John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Library is a research library specializing in the history and culture of the colonial Chesapeake. It is located near the Historic Area at 313 First Street and is open to the public. Library hours are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Contact: Juleigh Muirhead Clark Public Services Librarian John D.

I have been on this family list for awhile now and I have seen suggestions come and go but, one I haven't seen yet is about race or nationality. While it is great that we help one another like this I think it would also benefit to put the race in your requests. I know I'm not saying this right. But if I'm tracing a John Doe and see another one show up with some of the same names I think great. Then I start running the names down and find out its for a black John Doe. Also I know that most of you like myself is running a direct line with not too much time spent on Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters....ETC. So I am sure that some of the requests for info could be for the Aunts, Uncles, Brothers, Sisters.....ETC. that we pass by. Jay

Hi List, I am trying to do a little research for a friend of mine. At this time, she has very little information to go on except on her father. I have checked the usual online search areas and the Social Security and have come up with nothing. I am searching for any information at all, including dates on a FRANCES BRADISHAW. She was born about 1885/89, using the date of her son's birth as a temporary starting point. It is believed that she was born and raised in Georgia. She married an AUGUSTUS G. VICK, possibly of Moultrie, GEORGIA. Frances BRADISHAW VICK died on Feb. 1960 in Pinebluff, ARKANSAS. My friend has so information at all to go on for AUGUSTUS VICK. Frances and Augustus had at least one child. CARL M. VICK, born Jan 15, 1909 in MOULTRIE, GA and died Aug. 13, 1993 in CRYSTAL RIVER, CITRUS, FL. Any help in getting information of Frances and Augustus and any siblings, parents, dates, etc. would be greatly appreciated. All this information was taken from Carl M.

Steve, Nothing has been decided. They keep having meetings and pro & con rallies, but nothing constructive. We're from Alabama and have been through this once. Hope they settle it soon. NITA BTW we had snow again today. My son drove down to Columbia last night and got stuck. They're predicting another round for Wed or Fri. Looks like we're going to have all our winter this week. :) ****************************************************************************** What is the latest news on the Confederate Battle Flag in SC.

The Vick's are on my daddy's mama"s side but the Bean's are on my mama's side. My mama's daddy was Alvie Reid Bean from Chatham county, North Carolina. Sandra

I have had communication recently with Annette Vick Bean who lives in Bloomfield, NM. She said she had a relative (Nephew?) who has a construction Co. in Conroe. Do you know of them? We didn't find a very close connection with their Vick line and ours. Her brother and and my brother are both foremen for Pittsburg-DeMoins Steel Co. My brother has a home at Cape Royale, Tx (near Cold Springs, Tx, just East of Houston), but is on the road most of the time. He has been working southeast of Houston but is leaving for Flo. the first of the month to build a double-sphere tank at Cape Canaveral (sp), Fl. He will be Foreman for the job there also. He is excited about the adventure. I went to a square dance in Conroe a couple of years ago while I was there visiting with my brother. It is a neat town.

My son lives in Dawson co. Ga. He called me this morning said they had 3 inches of snow ,and over an inch of ice. His power went off at 3:am this morning. While we were talking the phone went dead. I've tried since and phone still out of order. He said the trees were hanging full of ice. We got about 2 inches here in Eden,NC. since about 6:pm last night. Lot of it was ice. I snowed heavy about 2 hours this morning from about 10 to noon. We don't have any ice on the trees.Maybe it's over with now. I wish all you guys in Ca,Tx. AZ,and all those other dry spots had some of this moisture....... I will be in side for the time being, on my comp.and feeding the birds. Maggie Nance of Eden,NC,

Greetings from South Carolina, We had our first snow yesterday. Its beautiful! (If you don't have to drive!) The kids are out in our cul-de-sac with their sleds. Yesterday they were trying to throw snow balls, but it was too powdery. All they got was a white cloud. Hope everybody stays warm. NITA Anita VICK Wells Greer, SC
