I seem to have several members of the Hannay (h) families i`m searching for that immigrated and settled in Washington DC from Scotland. I would be interested in contact with anyone with Hannay ancestors that may be interested in finding information on their `early Hannay ancestors from this region. I have traced my Hannay family back to Wigtownshire in the S/W of Scotland c 1750. Best Regards Wayne Hannay .. wghannay@shaw.ca Please visit: `What`s in a Name? ...

You did not mention which county in Virginia your grandfather served his apprenticeship in but here are a few general suggestions which would apply to almost any area searched... 1) try the Library of Virginia's list of county records http://www.lva.lib.va.us/whatwehave/local/local_rec/index.htm they do not have a general list of apprentices but you are able to request their county court microfilms through interlibrary loan. 2) Or contact the County Clerk's Office in the county you are researching to see if they have the records available. 3) Some counties in Virginia are lucky enough to have authors who have researched and published some apprentice records - available through book sellers such as Willow Bend Books - http://www.willowbendbooks.com/index.asp 4) Try contacting any genealogical libraries in the city/county you are researching to see if they have the records you are looking for. 5) Check the census for the years that you think your grandfather was serving his apprenticeship - you might find that he was living in the household of the person training him. 6) It's possible there are no records to be found (for a variety of reasons) some apprenticeships are only found if a problem develops - such as running away or not living up to the agreement. 7) Take a look at the online sites for the area - http://www.rootsweb.com/~vagenweb/ you never know what information may be waiting there....

Thanks for all the info everyone posted on stonemasons and sculptors..... It is appreciated Pat

I was wondering if anyone knows of a site or index which would have information about apprenticeships in Virginia between 1875 and 1900. My grandfather, Charles A Cook, did a machinist apprenticeship during those years. I would appreciate any information. Charlyn

How nice to learn of some fellow-descendants of DC stonemasons! My g-grandfather, William H. PICKLES, emigrated from Liverpool in 1884 and worked on the National Cathedral, and several statehouses across the country. Once his family immigrated into the US, they settled in DC. William was trained in England prior to coming to this country. He and his family moved fairly often as his workplace changed from one church to another in different villages. The family always seemed to have a lot of pride in him and his occupation, so I don't think stonemasons were considered common laborers, as one person wondered. There would have been much skill involved in this work. There was a "Stonecutters' Association of Washington, DC" to which he belonged. I have his "Quarterly Working Card" from that association dated Oct. 1, 1901. It was signed by their president, J. HAMEL and is embossed with their stamp. If anyone would like a scanned copy of this card, I would be happy to send one as an attachment to them at their e-mail address. Hope this helps someone!

I went to the AFL/CIO site (putzed around til I found it), which led me to the addresses for the Carpenters and Joiners District Councils for D.C. (I was looking for ggf and gf information circa 1870-1930.) Maybe you could try the AFL/CIO site for Stonemason councils in the areas you are researching.

Hello, Since we are on the topic of trades, I'm wondering if anyone knows of an archive or place where records for those working at the Government Printing Office might be? My great grandfather, Thomas Joseph Mattingly (1827-1908), worked there for years! Thanks, Elizabeth Culhane Fairport, New York

I am also interested in hearing about Stone Masons. My grandfather, great grandfather and great uncles were all stone masons in Washington, DC, Indiana and Massachusetts. Deb Purcell Glendale, AZ

Mt. Olivet, Washington, DC - Other than going to the cemetery itself, is there a source for map of the different sections and/or a listing of the peopleinterred there? S. Kauffman

I too am searching for information on stone masons but over in Loudoun Co. VA. You might want to try the Freemasons Archives in the appropriate area. From research on my ancestors (Divine/Devine) the trade seems to be passed on from father to son. Training or apprenticeship would have to occur so another area you might want to search is apprenticeship records. If the training was not done by a relative you might be able to find the person living in the household of a known stone mason (in the census or on tax records) where he was likely receiving his training. As far as records of employment - I was lucky in my research in that the area I was dealing with was a small community where the residents valued their history and documents so my ancestors received some credit for their work. For the most part though I assume unless the stonemason was highly valued in the building of an important structure it would be nearly impossible to find "employment records" - perhaps in a newspaper report of the construction - or if there was some kind of court dispute? If anyone knows of any other organizations which would have attracted Stonemasons in the 19th century or earlier I too would appreciate the information being posted to the list.

The Government Hospital for the Insane (now known as St. Elizabeth's Hospital) is situated in Southeast Washington, overlooking the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers. According to "The City of Washington, An Illustrated History" published by the Junior League of Washington in 1981, it was completed in 1855 at a cost of nearly $1 million, it was a premier institution at the time, dedicated to providing the most humane care and enlightened curative treatment of the insane of the Army, Navy, and residents of the District of Columbia. (My husbands great-great grandmother, Katherine Constable Bushby--wife of James H. Bushby, who volunteered with the District militia (to guard the public buildings) at the start of the Civil War--a resident at this hospital for more than two years, died there in 1906.
