1880 U.S. Census to be available on CDs June 1 LDS Church News For the week ending May 26, 2001 The U.S. 1880 Census, the first ever U.S. census published in its complete format, has been automated and the 56-CD-ROM set will be available June 1. When the record was announced and sold at the recent National Genealogical Association conference, the 500 sets of records then available, limited to one set per person, sold out in two days and was soon put to use. The census extraction project was started 17 years ago and survived through changing intentions and technologies. After 11.5 million hours of work by dedicated extractors.The record is composed of 35 data CDs, 20 Index CDs and a viewer CD and will sell for $49. With 50.5 million names, the record has twice as many names as the recently announced Ellis Island Records (24 million names), and has 12 times (6.5 million) as many names of African-Americans as the recently announced Freedman's Bank Records (480,000 names). It is a fully extracted record with every name indexed. It is the first record that covers the continental United States, which then had 38 states, eight territories, excluding only the Indian Territory of present-day Oklahoma. The 1880 U.S. Census is the most complete database published by the LDS Church to date and contains each individual's full name, relationship to head of the house, age, gender, race, marital status, occupation, birthplace, and the birthplace of the individual's parents. Because extractors were faced with interpreting the many kinds of handwriting on the census according to their judgement, there are many spelling variations. To offset this problem, a powerful search engine is included with the CD that makes it possible to find a person through "bits and pieces" and "wild card" searches. Bits and pieces means each category can be in a search. A wild card search is where one or more letters, such as the easily mistaken r, y and v can be replaced by an asterisk. The census also allows viewing of neighboring families.

There is a pretty good size, very old cemetery near Winifrede called Saw Mill Cemetery. I know that there are several TITLOWs buried there but I don't remember other names. I'm looking for any information about that cemetery. I especially wonder if there are listing and plots of burials. Thanks very much for any help. Ray, Colorado
Hello, Does anyone know who Sylvester's parents were? Although the Brogans are not my direct line (that I know of), they are intertwined with some Clark families that I'm pretty sure are directly related to me. Sylvester BROGAN was born December 15, 1879 in Spring Hill, Kanawha County, West Virginia, and died June 24, 1958 in Kanawha County, West Virginia. He married Lieuvena RIFFE March 8, 1903, daughter of William RIFFE and Minnie MIDKIFF. She was born November 4, 1884 in West Virginia, and died June 12, 1954 in Kanawha County, West Virginia.

For those that do not know about this new site it is great! You can search all the messages on GenForum and FamilyHistory instantly, upload your gedcom and it will match it to all the other files in their database with what they call "smart matches". I put my gedcom on 24 hours ago and have already heard from others researching some of the same lines. They have a promise not to sell our information or give it out to any other site for profit. I found it because of my Ellis group so I get nothing for passing the word. It's one of the fastest growing sites I have seen, 20 more gedcoms have been added since I've put mine on.

One person I forgot to mention in my "Pearl Harbor/Memorial Day List" posting was Willie "Bill" Graves. Willie's story deserves special consideration. Willie migrated from the South in the '30s looking for work in depression era Jackson County, WV. My great grandparents, Rudy S. Coleman & Mary Myrtle Huffman Coleman, said he could stay with them. There's always work on a farm. Couldn't pay him much -- just room & board. He accepted. Said he'd sleep in the barn. My great grandmother would have none of that. He would sleep with the boys. He came to share a bed with my grandfather Obert "Obe" Coleman & they became like brothers. They worked together & "raised hell" together. Willie Graves joined the service with E. A. "Lash" Coleman, Everett Shaffer & Jerrell Clendenin, a younger brother & cousins of my grandfather "Obe" Coleman. My mother remembered seeing Willie Graves when he came home on a furlough just prior to his shipping out for the Pacific Theater. She was a mere child. According to her, Willie was one of the kindest, gentlest men she has ever met. His smile, she continued, was "infectious." He even rocked her to sleep when she was an infant. Some 60 years later she still utters his name in reverence. Such was the impact of this stranger Willie Graves. It was my mother who asked if I had included Willie on my list. So I am now fixing my mistake. Willie Graves died fighting the Japanese on the island of Guam in 1944. When my great grandmother, Mary Myrtle Huffman Coleman, heard the news, she cried as hard as any other "Gold Star Mother" would. For Willie was her son. He was not blood & he was not adopted, but in her eyes, it did not make him any less of a son. Hearing that story as a youth in the Civil unrest of the 1960s taught me something. For you see, Willie Graves was an African American and my great grandmother was color blind. Sincerely, Mike Peters [email protected]
The new movie "Pearl Harbor" is scheduled for release on May 25th to coincide with Memorial Day weekend. I can't wait! It should be good. December 7th of this year will mark the 60th anniversary of the "day that will live in infamy" and our country's involvement in WW2. My grandmother Coleman said she was in the kitchen making some of her Sunday fried chicken when she was interrupted by news of the ruthless Japanese attack. She had never heard of Pearl Harbor and didn't realize at the time how her life and the lives of her family members would forever change. With WW2 came rationing and "Rosie the Riveter." There was also the horror that came to be known as the Holocaust. Four of Grandma Coleman's brothers & 3 of her brothers-in-law would see action during the war. One of those brothers-in-law would even see time in a POW camp. What started one quiet December Sunday in an Appalachian kitchen ended with "mushroom clouds" in the skies over Hiroshima & Nagasaki. At parties on VE and VJ day we celebrated the Allied victory over the Axis powers. While we danced, somewhere in the shadows lurked the Berlin Wall, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Cold War. This Memorial Day lets pay special tribute to the men & women that served in WW2 while also remembering those in our families who served in each war from the French & Indian War to the Gulf War. My list is similar to the one from last year but comes amended with many new names. Thanks to all who helped me document the new members. This Memorial Day I will remember the following people: * Jack Dempsey Peters, my father's first cousin. Jack perished in Korea. * James Peters, my uncle & my father's oldest brother. James served in WW2. * William Peters, brother of my gg grandfather Jonathan Peters. William died from head wounds suffered during "Pickett's Charge" at Gettysburg. * Jordan N. Peters, my ggg grandfather, who fought in the War of 1812. * Zachariah Peters, brother of my gg grandfather Jonathan Peters. Zach lost a leg in the Civil War. * Sanford Gadd, brother-in-law of my gg grandfather Jonathan Peters. Sanford died during the Civil War's Battle of New Market. * William Mitchell Clay, my ggggggg grandfather, who was the first casualty of the Revolutionary War. * Reuben Huffman, Frederick Lemon, Ralph Stewart, Daniel Shumate, Mitchell Clay, John Cook(e), James Ellison, Francis Farley, David Miller & George Walker, Sr., all direct ancestors, who fought for the 13 Colonies' independence in the Revolutionary War. * E. A. "Lash" Coleman, my great uncle, who fought in WW2. * Thermos Hinzman, my great uncle, who was a POW in Hitler's Nazi Germany. * James Stewart, my gggggg grandfather, who fought during the French & Indian War. * James Madison Pritt, brother to my gg grandmother Margaret Pritt. Madison served during the Civil War. * John Stuart Huffman & Charles McClung Huffman, my ggg grandfather & his brother. These men, named for Revolutionary War Vets from Greenbrier County, VA/WV, followed the military leads of their namesakes & served during the Civil War. * Jordan "Don" Peters, my great uncle & brother to my grandfather James Burton Peters. "Don" served "over there" in WW1. * Vernon, Lawrence, Jack & Guy Pritt, brothers to my maternal grandmother Mernia Pritt Coleman. They answered their country's call in WW2. * Ralph, Virgil, Cebert, Forest & Herbert Stover, brothers to my paternal grandmother Sadie Stover Peters. They also answered the call in WW2. * Teddy, Jimmy & Herbert Stover, Jr, my cousins, who fought in the jungles of Viet Nam. They are the sons of Virgil, Forest and Herbert Stover, the WW2 vets mentioned above. * Charles Walker, my great uncle, who fought in the Pacific Theater of WW2. * Everett Shaffer & Jerrell Clendenin, first cousins to my grandfather Obert "Obe" Coleman. Everett & Jerrell also fought for the Allies in WW2. * Shelby H. Peters, my father, who was a Korean War veteran & who died while on active duty 31 July 1967. Happy Memorial Day & please don't forget to remember our veterans and all active duty soldiers and sailors. Their military service was and is the insurance policy on our way of life. If you save me a seat at the movie theater, I'll bring the popcorn. Sincerely, Mike Peters [email protected]

Since I've already written the list twice today I'm thinking maybe the 3rd time will be the charm. Does anyone have any information on the following people from the Kanawha and Roane Co areas? Ali Smith b 1805 Russell Co, VA and Sarah Jane King (b 1805) married in Kanawha Co Jan 15, 1845. (was also married to Susannah Isaacs 1859 Wayne Co, WV) Early settler of Kanawha along with Benjamin Wright. Did Ali and Sarah divorce or did she die? Lived in Pike Co, KY before coming to the area. Who were her parents? Where are they buried? Martin Van Buren Smith b 1833 Russell Co, VA (?) d Nov 16, 1911 Roane Co, WV. married Oct 2, 1858 Wayne Co, WV to Elizabeth Elliott d/o John and Sarah Collins Elliott. Elizabeth died between the 1880 and 1900 census but cannot find her death in Roane Co. or any where around there. Martin married Sarah Virginia Lowe (widow of John Page) Sep 30, 1902 (yes he was 70 and she was about 28) in ROane Co. Martin is buried in the Keen #3 Cemetery in Newton, Roane Co. and there is a SE Smith buried next to him and a SV Smith close. Is this SE really Elizabeth? Here is my problem. My g-grandfather's death certificate lists Elizabeth Ellis not Elliott as his mother. John Wesley Smith b Mar 1863 and died July 21, 1937 Calhoun Co, WV. All of Martin's children were born in Roane Co but I can't find Johns. John is in all the census with Martin so he did live with him. I have seen some LDS records (and of course no verification) with a marriage for Martin and Elizabeth Ellis in Richmond, Henrico Co, VA Dec 1867 but I have not been able to find it and I have looked at a ton of microfilm. Any help would be appreciated and sorry this was so long. Thanks, Joyce
I am looking for a Robert Harson Collins. He was born in 1888 Kentucky but died in Silush West Virginia in 1929.

He was married in Kentucky to a Sarah Lunsford b.1890 d.1972 in Virginia. They had they following children: (They were all born in West Virginia.) Aretha b. abt. 1908 ( died at about 2 years) Roy Charlie Archie Eugene b.11-1920 (still living) Florence Dolly Any help you could give would greatly be appreciated. Thanks, Monica Collins
Cara, On my web page I have Kanawha Co Marriages from 1721-1884. Randolph Co 1787-1820. Wirt Co 1848-1853. Harrison Co 1784-1794. They might not all be complete but they were what I had here at home and decided to post them to help others out. Happy Hunting! Joyce jls1149
Hello List, I was wondering if there might be someone online who might be able to do a marriage look up for me. I know there are books published on the marriages in Kanawha Co. that some of you own. I hope someone can do the look up for me. The name I'm looking for, unfortunately, is very common. His name was Dr. William Adair Jones. Middle name not so common, but the other two are terribly common. He would have married in Kanawha Co. sometime between 1865 and 1885. His parents names were Francis and Nancy (Ellis Hendricks) Jones. I do not know Wm's wife's name. Wm. was born in 1843 in Monroe Co., (W)VA. Thanks for the help! -- Cara (Gregory) Showers Anchorage, Alaska [email protected]
