I have a postcard picture that was taken at DUVALL STUDIO 493 VA Ave, NW. Does anyone know when this studio was in existence. I am trying to date the picture. Can you tell by the clothes and hairdo? It is at my FTM site. Mary Van Ness (I think) Jan Parker http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/p/a/r/Janice-M-Parker/

I am interested in information on Neill Dumont (wife Susan Lineberger) who lived in Washington, D.C. and died there in 1894. He was an attorney. Any information appreciated.

Does anyone have access to the records of St. Joseph's Orphanage in DC. A kind person gave me the address and suggested the Catholic University as having the records. I live in Fl and cannot get to DC. If anyone has the info it would be great otherwise I will contact by phone. Thanks, Mary

Hello: I am looking for orphanages that would have been in DC in the early 1900's. I am looking for two boys, named Burdette, placed in the home by their mother, Sadie Burdette. Would appreciate any help you may be able to give. Mary in FL

Deborah, I looked at the tree that P.I. Fox posted. On the index there was a Margaret Grayson Galt, b. 1865 so I looked at her. These were her parents: Father: Sterling M GALT b: 23 Nov 1796 in Carrol Co, Md Mother: Margaret GRAYSON b: 17 Nov 1798 It doesn't say where the mother was born, but perhaps somehow this Margaret Grayson was connected to the William Grayson for which Grayson county was named???? Intriguing, anyway. Funny how it's not enough that we do our own lines, but we become interested in others too :-) Sue Dotson Buzzybee@prodigy.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Deborah Jaquiss" <djaquiss@pressroom.com> To: <WashingtonDC-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 8:42 PM Subject: Re: [WashingtonDC'' ] Carroll Grayson Galt > Dear Sue, > > Thank you for an interesting history/geography lesson and I for one can > always use one, but when were the counties formed and in whose honor were > they named?

I just found a child in the Orphanage Asylum in DC on 4109 Nebraska Av. NW. in the 1930 census. She may be the half sister to my mother. Does anyone know how I would go about getting her record from this orphanage. Her name is Irene E. Seitz and was 6yrs. old at the time of the census. thank you, Lisa

Deborah, Grayson County, VA was formed in 1792 from part of Wythe County and was named for William Grayson, one of Virginia's first two U.S. Senator's. Carroll County cut off from Grayson in 1842. I'm not as familiar with Carroll Co. history and do not know how that county was named. I'm not quite sure I understand your question, but if I'm following you correctly, I think it's possible that a person could have been name for a person OR a place, or both. In this case, Carroll Grayson Galt wasn't b. until 1889, and was b. in DC. Time-wise, it is quite far removed from the formation of Carroll and Grayson counties. Considering he was b. in DC, it would make sense to me that perhaps the parents might have been fond of their country home and would have named a child for the place they loved. (It IS beautiful, mountainous country.) Also, looking at the tree submission on the Internet for him, there was also a child in the family -- or it might have been his parent's family, I can't remember for sure now -- but the child was named Augusta, which as I had mentioned previously is the county where Woodrow Wilson was from.

Dear Sue, Thank you for an interesting history/geography lesson and I for one can always use one, but when were the counties formed and in whose honor were they named? If those families/surnames were being honored or were still honored at the time the ancestor was named wouldn't it be more likely that the ancestor was named after the family surname then after the county? Such as Baltimore being named for Lord Baltimore. Of course it all comes out the same in that the ancestor had that name.

Donna, We were down in Grayson Co., VA this week visiting my in-laws, and I mentioned your posting to them. They said that Edith B. Galt, the second wife of Woodrow Wilson, was born in Wythe Co., VA, which is the county right next to Grayson. (Grayson Co. originally formed from Wythe Co., and Carroll Co. later formed from Grayson.) The home where Edith B. Galt was born is now a small town restaurant called "E.N. Umburger" located at 165 East Main Street in Wytheville, VA. We saw it as we were leaving through town on our way back to I-81. My in-laws said the Statler Brothers once ate there and it was the talk of the town. Anyway, I think it is certainly highly likely that your ancestor got his name from these counties in Virginia!

I was very excited to find my ancestor MADELINE S. PHILLIPS and her daughter ETHEL N. PHILLIPS in the 1930 D.C. census on page 12, enumeration Dist. 300, sheet 12-A, thanks to a genealogy friend. However, there is one entry that I can't figure out. In the column #s 7 & 8 each person is asked "Home owned or rented" and "Value of home". All the replies are either "R" for rent or "O" for own. My ancestor's entry is completely different. I can't really decipher what it is but it may be "Um", "Nu" or something similar in appearance. Has anyone found a different entry for their ancestor in these columns? Can anyone venture a guess as to what the symbol could represent? What other options were represented? How might I find out what all the options were? Thanks for any help in solving this puzzle. Pam

Donna, My husband is betting that Carroll Grayson Galt's parents/family was from the Galax, VA area. Galax is half in Carroll Co., VA and half in Grayson Co., VA. Add to that the fact that Woodrow W. Wilson was from Staunton, VA (Augusta Co.). We could be wrong -- but it might give you something to check out, anyway.
