Has anyone heard from Wayne? I tried send an e-mail and go to his web page......e-mail returned non-deliverable and web page couldn't be displayed. Jerry Edwards Looking for Edwards/Chamberlain/Mote/Patty/Hiatt/Hiett

Greetings veterans and newbies of the rootsweb. I would like tell you there are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. There are Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are 417 prisoners on record from your state and more than 256 West Virginia or Virginia Union who died here, I thought I would send my offer. As Virginia was one of the states that was torn apart and was truley brother against brother,,I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work. Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 34,000 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. I would like to let you know of another service I offer which is to take photos of graves for a small fee. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking and will be posted on this county site only once. If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

Ohmigosh. Quick recap: What we "knew" when I started: Dad's paternal grandfather, John Franklin "Frank" Pickering, was born in 1876 in Missouri. He moved to Greene County, OH, as an infant after his mother - born Victoria Orndorff - died. His father, Virginia native and blacksmith Joseph Pickering, had moved to Missouri before the Civil War and fought for the Confederacy. What I've learned since taking up this hobby in 1997: Joseph F. Pickering and Victoria (probably her middle name, true first name either Elizabeth or Eliza) Orndorff married on a Greene County, OH, license in 1869 and were living in Spring Valley in 1870. They had two children about four or five years before Frank. Some data says all three were born in MO, some that all were born in OH, and all possible combinations in between. This has made placing the move in time difficult. Joseph F. Pickering was born in Hampshire County, VA - or at least to a family that lived there at the time - in the early 1840s. I can place him there in 1850 and 1860, by which time he was a blacksmith. I can find no record of his service in the War Between the States. His pre-War census ages subtract to an 1841 birth, but he is only 25 in the 1870. He remains within three years of an 1845 birth the rest of his census life; his 1913 obit gives his birth year as 1842. Joseph's father was Virginia native and longtime (maybe life-long) Hampshire County resident Hiram Pickering, whom I can place in the county in 1828, 1836, 1840, 1848, 1850 and 1856. There is also a census entry fitting him in 1810 - no name, of course. I thought he died between 1856 and 1860, based on his wife's solo presence in the 1860 census, but I now believe it just as likely that he simply left hearth and home after his third financial meltdown in '56. Now, the ohmigoshes - thanks to a visit to Xenia during a trip to Ohio: Trying to place the move to Missouri, I went through the Greene County Birth Records looking for his siblings, Charles and Margaret. I did not find them ... but I did find entry number 430, recorded with many others on June 15, 1877, that says that on October 17, 1876, John Pickering was born in Greene County, OH, to Joseph F. Pickering and Victoria (nee) Ornduff of that county. There is a comments column, which is devoid of anything like "birth took place in Missouri, where mother has since died." Nope, according to this and contrary to a "fact" I've known since I was a boy that is supported by a family bible entry and many census entries, John Franklin Pickering was a Greene County, OH, native. Or is the delay in the entry - common at the time - reason to suspect some mistake? Joseph appears in the 1890 special veterans census! He was a private in Company H, 114th infantry. There are two things unique, at least to the page, about his entry: while every other listing gives a state (10 Ohios and an Indiana), his does not; while every other listing has exact dates of enlistment and discharge, his enlistment column gives merely a year, 1861, his discharge column is blank, and his length of service column says two years. Was he vague because he was a Confederate? Because he had a memory like mine? Or because he didn't actually serve? A book listing Greene County soldiers who fought in the late War, AFTER 30 YEARS, has one Pickering besides Joseph and his brother William: a private in Company I 31st Infantry named Hiram Pickering. Surely my Hiram was too old for the War Between the States - 58 when it started - but what other Hiram was in Greene County, OH, within five years after my Hiram disappeared from Virginia? This Hiram is not in the special census, but of course my Hiram would've been 87 by then. Feedback?

You can order a guide called Finding an IGI Source (as well as other guides on related subjects) through their website (it's free)--try http://www.ldscatalog.com/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/ProductDisplay?prrfnbr=1756&prmenbr=1402&CGRY_NUM=1802&RowStart=1&LocCode=FH If that doesn't work, go to http://www.familysearch.com, click on Order/Download Products, and then on Publications.

Any Newman genealogy from Newmans Ridge that anyone is willing to share with me. Linda Newman [email protected]

Greetings one and all, I did a small update for you all today. I added the Bloomery Cemetery listing of people and the Hott Cemetery listing. I put the listing of people in alphabetical order, but this will change when I get to the cemetery and arrange them as I see the markers. If you find any errors in the names and dates, please let me know and I will check my papers to see if I made a mistake of transcribing them from the cemetery markers. I also added the Kale Family Gravesite in the cemetery part of the website and not in the maps. I haven't been to the cemetery yet, but thanks to the Baker family, I was able to get a partial list of the people buried there.

Dauven > > Charlene, e-mail me (PRIVATELY!) your snail-mail and I'll send you a copy of the IGI guides. The important things to remember when using the IGI: 1) what it is: an INDEX to the names that have passed thru an LDS Temple. It is analogous to an office log -- when you give your name to the secretary she doesn't demand proof, she simply writes your name in the log. If you tell her you're Frieda Frye, she'll write it down. She might misspell it, though. 1a) There are about 8 different ways to spell Cheryl; someone who doesn't know me rarely chooses the right one. (g) In a very well researched book I've found cases where (she) was spelt one way when listed as a child, a second way when listed as a wife, and a third way when listed as a mother. 2) Much of the information in the IGI got in there from the days before Xerox machines (If the LDS dates give anything before 1957, it was hand-copied at least twice before it was computerized). Hand copies of old, bad, crabbed handwriting are error-prone. and finally, most importantly, 3) it's a place to start, not the finish line, unless you're LDS and using for LDS purposes. I've got my differences with it, but if all you've got is "Germany" and the IGI shows the surname confined to Baden, you've made progress, and the two Badens are somewhat smaller than all of Germany.
