JOHN GOTT, an historian, author and tour guide on the history of FAUQUIER County, VA, will speak to the African American Historical Association in October. When & Where: Oct. 5 at 1PM, The Plains, (Fauquier Co) VA.

Would the person researching the Poston families of DC contact me concerning a Mary E. Poston. Is this person related to your Postons? She was the mother of a Dora T. Weaver (b. 23 Apr 1889 Balto., d. 27 Sep 1969 Balto. Co.), which married into my Darnall family. Her father was George Weaver. Let me know if she is connected to Postons and I can pass you additional information on Dora and family, if needed. Chuck

I went to www.wmata.com and looked for directions from Greenbelt Metro to 1300 Naylor Ct NW, where the DC Archives are located. These directions led to the Howard University Metro stop and then a 1/5 of a mile walk to the DC Archives. For anyone coming from out of the area (and also for those of us who live in the area, but very seldom travel into downtown Washington, DC) the website I mentioned above is a good one to visit to plan your trip if you're using public transportation. Like any other major city, you might want to be careful of travelling alone in certain areas of the city. From what I've read on the list, Naylor Ct is actually an alley. Another possibility might be catching a taxi from the metro stop to the DC Archives. Barbara

Is there anyone researching the Timothy Gorman family from DC. Betty McHale

Are the any Driscolls on the DC list related to Timothy Driscoll in SW DC researching the area. Betty McHale

Jane, Thanks for the info about theDC Archieves. Do they have parking anywhere near there.

Jack's directions are perfect! I just want to add that I walked alone from the Metro stop and never felt afraid or intimidated. At the time, (fall 2000) there was construction of the new convention center going on which I imagine is still in progress. I never felt afraid or intimidated and was treated cordially when I asked someone on the street for directions. Ruth

It is not too hard to get to the DC Archives by METRO. From Greenbelt, take the Green line directly to Mt. Vernon Square Station. When you exit at 7th and M Street, walk one block north to N St. and then 2 blocks west to 9th and N. Go north just a short ways to what looks like an alley between 1312 and 1314 on the West side of 9th St. About 50 ft in the alley makes a right turn and you are at the DC Archives on the left. Ring the bell for admission. It sounds bad but really isn't. The walk along N St. takes you in front of Immaculate Conception Church. Jack

I've taken Metro to Mt. Vernon Square station & walked the remaining few blocks to the archives when I was with other people. During very hot or cold weather, or if going there alone, a cab from Union Station has been only $5, but be sure to direct the driver to 9th & N, as most have never heard of Naylor Court. I've always been able to hail a passing cab in the street for the return trip in under 5 minutes. For those who drive, there is usually plenty of metered parking on adjacent streets, but watch out for the time limits. Parking in this area may become more difficult as the new convention center nears completion. On the subject of appointments, I always call before I go, and if I get their answering machine, I simply leave a message stating what I am researching that day (births, deaths, wills, etc.) and what time I plan to arrive. I've never been turned away.

As you already know, death certificates request the name of the deceased mother and that info is sometimes incorrect. Well, IF your aunt had siblings that have died, you might consider checking the information on the death certificates for those siblings. Never know--you might get lucky. Good luck. Dottie Ormond Beach, FL

Yes, Social Security should give her mother's maiden name. The cost for the record is now $27.00.

We need her mother's maiden name. Would that be on the Social Security application? Yes. Both my parents' mothers' maiden names were on the social security application. Barbara

How would I go about finding information on my great-grandfather that died about 1898 in Washington, DC while walking with two of his children to church. He worked at the U. S. Treasury Dept. (the MInt). His name was Ezekial Coates and he was from Gloucster county, Va. originally?

My Aunt was born in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania does not put the parents names on the birth certificate. How else can we prove who her parents were. We need her mother's maiden name. Would that be on the Social Security application? My cousin gave the wrong name on her death certificate. She gave her married name and needs to change it. Thanks for any help you can give.

I am planning to visit DC the end of August and would like to go to DC Archieves. How can I get there if I get the metro at Greenbelt (green line)? Eileen

Hi All, I really sympathize with all of you. Back in 1998 I had a very similar experience. After several months of going back and forth with the D.C. Vital Statistics, including receiving an answer of "no record" to something totally different from what I had requested, I finally sent a registered letter, returned receipt requested, c/o the supervisor. Within a few days I received a phone call from Mr. Bass, supervisor the public records at that time. I explained the run around I had gotten and he was not very happy about it, at least that's how he came across. He said he would take care of my request that day, and within a couple of days I had my grandmother's death certificate. Roberta

Helen, You are terrific to do a lookup and I really appreciate your time. My message probably confused you, though. I am not really trying to research Beach ancestry. My grandmother's family was REINTZEL and her father's sister married a man named BEACH. When the aunt's husband died, she moved in with my grandmother's family and her husband's Beach Family Bible somehow remained in my grandmother's family throughout the generations and now I have it. I've been trying to find descendants of this Beach family. The aunt only had two children -- one named Annie and one named George. My grandmother was never able to remember who Annie married and I have never been able to find out. As for George, the story always went that he was an electrician and was electrocuted while working at Tech High School in DC. However, this morning I found George in the 1920 census with a wife and a 6 year old son named George Jr. I never knew he'd had a family! Then I found the George in the SSDI that could have been the same George as the one who was the 6 year old son in 1920. This means that he could have had a family, and there could be living descendants that connect to this Family Bible. My goal is to find them, and I was hoping by posting my query someone might have a connection, know someone who knew him, or have information about him. Thank you again for your time and trouble. If you still feel like doing any lookups, I am always looking for Reintzels :-) Sue Dotson Buzzybee@prodigy.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Helen West" <jhwest@ptialaska.net> To: <WashingtonDC-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, July 28, 2002 6:28 PM Subject: [WashingtonDC'' ] Re: Beach > Hello Sue, > I have a new book: Apprentices, Poor Children, and Bastards Loudoun County, > Virginia 1757-1850, by Hutchinson.

Hello Sue, I have a new book: Apprentices, Poor Children, and Bastards Loudoun County, Virginia 1757-1850, by Hutchinson. I hope folks are not offended with the word bastard. I am more offended that there is that word in any language. The Indigenous peoples of the world generally do not know the meaning of orphan, with the recognition that every child if a precious gift from God. There are 2 Beach listed in the book: Joel Beach-page 40, found under Records found in Court order Book: 1:190 11 Oct. 1785, Sally Grimsley 7 years old. 1 Oct 1785, to Joel Beach. Loose Papers: base born, Jemimiah Grimsley consents. John W.B. Beach-page 138, Records found in Court order Book: 11:270, 15 Aug. 1849, David C. Adams, orphan, 15 year old 17 Jun 1849, to John W.B. Beach, to be a shoemaker. Any other name you would like a look up for? Helen

I have a Beach Family Bible that I have reason to believe belonged to ancestors of a George (L.) Beach. After much reasearch, I have narrowed down which George Beach I am looking for. If anyone has any information on or connection to the following individual, please contact me! GEORGE BEACH Born 1 Jan 1914 Died Apr 1983 SSN 577-05-0332 Issued: DC (Before 1951) Residence: 20705 Beltsville, Prince Georges, MD Sue Dotson Buzzybee@prodigy.net
