The IGI (International Genealogical Index) 2. The Ancestral File IGI. The IGI is a composite of extracted parish registers in the US and 42 countries. Also, it contains Family Group Sheets submitted by members.=20 Batch Numbers. An important item to watch for is the "Batch Number". If the batch number is preceded by an alpha letter, such as C803406 - that means that the information came from an extracted record, such as birth, christening or marriage record. It does not include death records. You can order this record from the church (film number is listed), however, no additional information will be found. The best thing to do is to go to a local Family History Center, look under "Parish Registers", and locate the parish register in question. You can order that register on microfilm, and take a look at the "mortuary" or "deaths". This additional information is quite helpful, as it helps identify the oldest ancestors residing in that parish. If the batch number is a plain 6 digit number (such as 330906), that means that the information came from a Family Group Sheet submitted by a member, and, you can order that record on microfilm to view for yourself. It may or may not have additional information about other family members. That depends on the time-period involved. For example, during the 1970's, sheets for "individual" were used (as well as regular family group sheets) which did not list the whole family. ANCESTRAL FILE. This a composite of pedigrees submitted to the Ancestral Unit of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints by members and non-members alike. Essentially, here is what happens: When the pedigree is received the "computer" determines if there is a family match, and if so, merges any new information with the old information. For this reason, you will sometimes find an example like this - John b. 1800, John b. 1803, listed as separate children. Since the date was not exact, the computer treated both Johns as separate individuals. The Ancestral File is "full of errors". Although a source or reference may have been included by the submitter, the program does not yet allow this into it. (They are working on that). It is not uncommon to find multiple errors and entries in any given pedigree. Best to treat this information as a "worksheet". What I do is print out the pedigree chart and family group sheets, then go to work trying to prove it. The IGI also contains error. Many of those errors are in the marriage portion (event). What happens is people frequently list the marriage license date, instead of the date it was performed. In Georgia, for example, the top portion of the marriage certificate is the license date, and the bottom half is the actual marriage date. These records should be used as guidelines, not fact. Accepting other people's work can really confuse our genealogy, and cause us not to get anywhere on it. We must search census records, county records, - census records, county records, on and on and on, to validate the genealogy. So, when you access the information online, please keep this in mine.

INDEX OF MARYLAND COLONIAL WILLS 1634-1777 In the Hall of Records, Annapolis, Maryland by James M. Magruder, Jr. With Additions and a New Introduction by Louise E. Magruder. 543 pp., cloth (2933), reissued 1999. $45.00 This is an index to all the wills of colonial Maryland as found in Will Books 1-41 at the old Land Office in Annapolis, now on file in the Hall of Records. It contains the names of approximately 16,000 testators, alphabetically arranged, giving the year of probate, county, and volume and page where the complete will is recorded. Among a host of other virtues, it is a convenient index to persons whose wills are abstracted in Jane Baldwin's Maryland Calendar of Wills, published in 8 volumes between 1904 and 1928. C6520. COLONIAL MARYLAND NATURALIZATIONS by Jeffrey and Florence Wyand. 104 pp., indexed, paper. (1975), repr. 1999. $26.50 This collection of naturalization records originally developed from a search for genealogical information concerning German settlers in Western Maryland. Although the first two parts of the work contain references to denizations granted by the Council and naturalizations granted by enactment of private laws, most of which have been extracted from various volumes of the Archives of Maryland, chief interest in the work rests with the naturalizations in Part II, which have not previously been published. Originally designated to encourage German Protestant emigration to colonial Maryland, a pair of 18th- century English statutes were enacted as a means of effecting bona fide naturalization in the Colony. The naturalizations in Part III, compiled from Maryland's Provincial Court documents in the Hall of Records, were granted in accordance with these stuatues. Heretofore, there has been no convenient means of ascertaining the names of all naturalized citizens in Colonial Maryland. Between 1742 and 1775 upwards of 1,000 naturalizations were granted in Maryland, 1775 being the logical terminal date since naturalizations were originally recorded incompliance with British statutes and were therefore only co-extensive with British dominion. Data in the naturalization records presented here include the identifying number of the record, date of naturalization, date of communion,volume and page of the Provincial Court Judgments, name, county or town of residence, nationality, church membership, location of church, and witnesses to communion. Place names, clergy, and parish locations are identified in the appendix. C2620. SIGNERS OF THE MAYFLOWER COMPACT by Annie Arnoux Haxtun. 8 =BD x 11", 128 pp., paper (1897-99), repr. 1998. $32.50 This is the standard reference work on the signers of the Mayflower Compact (162), consisting of lengthy sketches of the signers with considerable genealogical information on the men and their families. Descriptions of arms, lineages, and excerpts from wills and from other contemporary documents are integrated with the historical and biographical data. In addition, the work contains extensive records of the signers showing thousands of family connections. Includes Brewster tombstone and Bible Records, and information on a number of later Pilgrims who arrived on the Fortune, Ann, and Little James. Among the signers were John Alden, William Bradford, and Miles Standish, to mention only a few. C9321. PIONEER IRISH IN NEW ENGLAND by Michael J. O'Brien, 325 pp., indexed, paper (1937), repr. 1998. $37.50 In this book, Dr. O'Brien extends his thesis, begun in "A Hidden Phase of American History", that numberous Irishmen participated in the American Revolution, by demonstrating that the Irish were represented in the American colonies from the beginning of the colonial period. The author has combed through passenger lists, tax lists, marriage records, church records, and military records, as well as secondary sources, to unearth a plethora of references to persons of Irish birth or descent among the Colonists of New England. Includes a list of Irish soldiers who took part in King William's War, list of Irish settlers in York Co., Maine, etc. Over 2,000 New English Irish found. C9042. WHERE TO LOOK FOR HARD-TO-FIND GERMAN- SPEAKING ANCESTORS IN EASTERN EUROPE. Index to 19,720 Surnames in 13 Books, with Historical Background on Each Settlement. 2nd Edition. By Bruce Brandt and Edward Reimer Brandt. 248 pp., paper (1993), repr. 1998). $28.50 This book is a godsend for researchers whose German-speaking ancestors emigrated to Eastern Europe or whose trail cannot be traced to Western Europe, inasmuch as it furnishes the surname of every German-speaking individual who appears in the 13 authoritative histories which document this massive emigration. In all this work lists 19,720 surnames of German-speaking ancestors who emigrated to Russia, Poland, Romania, and elsewhere in Eastern Europe, containing 24,000 references. C9320. THE LAST DAYS OF BRITISH SAINT AUGUSTINE 1784-1785. A Spanish Census of the English Colony of East Florida by Lawrence H. Feldman. 116 pp., indexed, paper. 1998. $27.50 In 1763, East Florida was ceded to Bitain by the Treaty of Parish which concluded the French and Indian Wars, only to be returned to Spain 20 years later as part of the settlement of the American War of Independence. This intriguing volume is based upon an examination of a census of the "English residents at the time of change of Flag", that was conducted by the newly installed Spanish government between August and October 1784. Every reference to non-slave, non-Spanish heads of households are found, in all 740 entries, each giving the name of the household head, nation or colony of origin, occupation, and number of persons in household. In many instances, the annotations also refer to the householder's city of origin, if married, number oc hildren and/or slaves, location of residence in St. Augustine, intentions with respect to Spanish citizenship, or more. C9323. SCOTTISH-AMERICAN GRAVESTONES, 1700-1900 by David Dobson. 105 pp., paper, 1998. $24.00 Prior to 1855, gravestone inscriptions represent almost the sole source of death information in Scotland. When one considers that a number of these gravestone inscriptions contain references to family members who died abroad, as well as those who died in Scotland, Scottish gravestones taken on even more importance for North Americans. These facts have not been lost on the indefatigable Scottish researcher, David Dobson, who, drawing upon both published and unpublisshed sources, has compiled this new colume of death records. There are more than 1500 death records in this volume, arranged alphabetically. C9131. THE GERMAN ELEMENT IN THE US. With Special Reference to Its Political, Moral, Social and Educational Influence. In 2 volumess. By Albert Bernhardt Faust. 605, 730 pp., illus., indexed, paper (1927), repr. 1995. $95.00 This remarkably detailed work is still the best introduction to the German influence in American life and culture from the colonial period to 1927, the year of the book's original publication. Volume 1 treats German immigration, colonial and early national settlement, and participation in the great poitical or military upheavals of American history, while Volume II looks at the economic, social, cultural, and educational contributions made by persons of German birth/descent and Germanic cultural influences. The researcher would have to venture far and wide to discover in another work anything approaching Faust's detailed bibliography or the index or more than 10,000 references. C9341. ANNALS OF TAZEWELL COUNTY, VIRGINIA FROM 1800 TO 1924, 2 volumes, by John Newton Harman. 467, 653 pp., illus., indexed, paper. (1922, 1925), repr. 1999. $95.00 Tazewell County in southwestern Virginia was formed from Russell and Wythe counties in 1799. Notwithstanding its considerable and unique contribution to Virginia history, Tazewell County takes on added importance for Virginia genealogists for lying to adjacent to the great Augusta migration trail which traversed southern Virginia. While this book is nearly 75 years old at this point, it is nonetheless a colossal undertaking and still the starting point for Tazewell genealogy and history. It is a vast extraction o f county court records. Volume 1 contains extracts of court orders, wills and deeds, names of all civil and military officers, all lawyers admited to the bar, all preachers licensed and an exact copy of the Tazewell marrige registers from 1800 to 1852, every deed made to churches of all denominations from 1800 to 1922, the names of all Tazwwell representatives in the General Assembly of Virginia from 1800 to 1852, and a list of Revolutionary pensioners. Volume II continues the principal features of Volume I from 1853, with marriage records to 1868, the names of all devisers and devisees of wills to 1924, lists of Tazewell soldiers in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and World War II, various court orders, and a fairly complete list of Tazewell churches and church officers in 1924. The concluding 250 pages consist of genealogies of the following pioneer families: Bandy, Barns, Bowing, Chapman, Couling, Crockett, Deskins-Maxwell-Witten-Fields, Gillespie, Gose, Graham, Graybeal-Greear, Greever, Hankins, Harman, Higginbotham, Holmes, Hopkins, Laird, Linkous, Litz, Lockhart, McGuire, Martin, Maxwell, Mays, Moore, Peery, Sparks, Stras, Thompson, Tynes, Ward, Whitley, Witten, Wohlford-Mustard, Yot and Young - nearly 40,000 persons.

Need to know the name of family my gr grandmother was living with in Fort Gay WVa. She died in 1908 so she would appear on the 1900 Wayne Co census. Her name was Rhoda (Rody) Maynard. She would have been in her 80's. This would give me some leads. Thanks, Dan W Maynard.

Hello, I apologize as I know this is a Wayne County list, but with Cabell County being the neighboring county, I thought it might be ok to go ahead and place this post. Would anyone per chance have the 1910 census for Cabell County? I would truly appreciate a lookup for a Plase or Pleasant Corns/Corn. He should be in his late 70's and possibly living with one of his sons, James W. Corns. I would be most grateful for any assistance. Thank you! Lorna Corns-Workman

Yesterday I posted family information about James A. HUGHES & wife Belle VINSON. Thanks to another friend on the Wayne Co List, the following article is about this couple's experience on the infamous Titanic. "Herald-Dispatch, Huntington, WV. March 22, 1998 Memories of the Titanic (A Huntington Woman Who Survived the Disaster Met Future Husband and Molly Brown in Lifeboat) by Bob Withers of The Herald Dispatch: Eighty-six years later, we still find the Titanic fascinating. Two street markers in Westmoreland prove it. Eloise Street and Lucian Street were named for Eloise Hughes Smith and Lucian Philip Smith, local people who were aboard the doomed vessel in 1912. She made it home. He didn't. Brittle yellowed clippings from library archives, scrapbooks and file cabinets tell the tragic story. Eloise Hughes a daughter of James A. and Belle Vinson Hughes, grew up in Huntington but spent a lot of time in Washington,D.C., where her father was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. By the time of her society debut in Huntington and Washington in January 1912, she had caught the eye of Lucian Philip Smith, 24, a West Virginia University student from Uniontown, Pa., whose father had earned a fortune as a partner of steel magnate Andrew Carnegie. Shortly after the debutant's debut, Smith came to Huntington and their engagement was announced. The couple wed at Central Christian Church on Feb. 8, 1912, and embarked on a long honeymoon to Europe, Egypt and the Middle East. Cathy Gay of Orlando, one of the Smiths' granddaughters, says they sailed across the Atlantic on the White Star passenger liner R.M.S. Olympic, the Titanic's sister ship. Their master was Capt. Edward J. Smith, no relation, who could later be assigned to command the Titanic on her maiden voyage. An incident aboard the Olympic served as an omen. The ship struck a submerged object at sea, breaking a propeller and forcing it to Belfast, Ireland, for repairs. The vessel resumed its journey later. The dream trip's last lap -- scheduled early by the Smiths because she was pregnant -- was their return across the Atlantic on the Titanic. The British liner sailed from Southampton at noon April 10, 1912. The night of Sunday, April 14, found Lucian Smith struggling through the linguistic maze of a bridge game with several Frenchmen in the first-class smoking room on A Deck. Two decks below, his 18-year-old wife had gone to bed early because she didn't feel well. The card players sipped hot whiskey or lemonade to ward off the increasingly chillier North Atlantic night, talking animatedly to each other until a grinding jar from somewhere below them brought silence. It was 11:40 p.m. Smith and several others got up and walked out on deck. "My God, we hit an iceberg!" someone shouted. Eloise Smith was awakened in her C Deck room by the vibration. Momentarily, the lights snapped on and she saw her smiling husband standing by the bed. "We are in the North and have struck an iceberg," he said gently. It does not amount to anything but will probably delay us a day getting to New York. However, as a matter of form, the captain has ordered all ladies on deck." She dressed slowly -- a heavy wool dress, two coats, high shoes and a knitted hood. All the while, Smith chatted about landing in New York and taking the train home. He didn't mention the iceberg again. As they started for the deck, she decided to go back for some jewelry. Smith suggested she not bother with "trifles," and she relented to a point -- but she grabbed her favorite ring off the night stand. The Smiths sat, calmly talking, in the ship's gymnasium just off the Boat Deck as the first of the Titanic's lifeboats started to fill with women and children. Few passengers seemed to realize they were in danger. One woman told another, "Oh, come and let's see the berg -- we have never seen one before." Someone in a second-class smoking room asked if he could get some ice from the iceberg for his highball. "There was no commotion, no panic, and no one seemed interested in the unusual occurrence, many having crossed 50 and 60 times," Eloise Smith was quoted as saying. Then, above their heads, white distress rockets exploded in blinding flashes. The jokes, poker games and imbibing stopped. Everyone realized it was time to say goodbye. Men helped their wives or other women into the lifeboats. Many refused to go, begging their husbands to join them. Arguments erupted; some women were tossed into the rowboats. Eloise Smith noticed Capt. Smith standing close by with a megaphone and begged him to let her husband sail away with her. He ignored her and kept shouting, "Women and children first!" Lucian Smith spoke up. "Never mind, captain, about that," he said. "I'll see she gets in the boat." He turned to her and spoke, very deliberately. "I never expected to ask you to obey, but this is one time you must," he said. "It is only a matter of form to have women and children first. The ship is thoroughly equipped and everyone on her will be saved." She questioned his honesty, but he insisted he was being truthful. So she kissed him and stepped into the boat. As it was being lowered, he shouted to her, "Keep your hands in your pockets. It is very cold weather." Of course, Smith was lying. The ship carried enough lifeboats for barely half the 2,234 people on board -- and even that was more than the British Board of Trade required at the time. Only 28 people filled No. 6, the second lifeboat to be launched from the ship and the first from the port side, even though it had room for 65. Eloise Smith was one of them. Denver socialite Margaret "Molly" Brown -- the noted "Unsinkable Molly Brown" -- was another. It was 1 a.m. Across the icy water, Smith could see her husband waving from the rail of the Boat Deck, as were hundreds of others. By 2:15, the Titanic's stern, the only section of the vessel still visible, was absolutely perpendicular, its three dripping propellers glistening in the starry darkness. Five minutes later, it slid under the waves. Smith was upset that she had fallen for her husband's lie. For more than an hour, she watched for some sign of him -- to no avail. The ship took 1,513 people down with it, including millionaires John Jacob Astor and Benjamin Guggenheim; Charles M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Railroad; Archibald Butt, military aide to President William Howard Taft; Broadway producer Henry Harris -- and Lucian Smith. Only three weeks before, the Smiths had been sightseeing in Cairo. He had climbed to the top of a pyramid and they had ridden a camel into the Sahara Desert. Eloise Smith wrote home to her parents, Congressman Hughes and Belle Vinson Hughes, about their adventure: "Lucian is getting so anxious to get home and drive the car and fool around down at the farm. . . . We leave here Sunday . . . by boat to Brindisi, by rail to Nice and Monte Carlo, then to Paris and via Cherbourg either on the Lusitania or the new Titanic . . . I will love so much to tell my Sunday school class when I get home." Adrift at sea, Eloise Smith and her new traveling party were rescued after daylight by the Cunard liner Carpathia, which had frantically steamed 58 miles through the North Atlantic's ice-infested waters to help. She was one of 711 people who survived the disaster. Hundreds of city residents jammed the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway station when she arrived on the F.F.V. Limited shortly after 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 21. The crowd was so large that five police officers escorted her automobile from the station to her grandmother's home in the West End. On may 12, Smith took part in a tearful memorial service for her husband in the same church where they had been married three months before. At about the same time, congressional hearings convened in Washington, D.C., to investigate the tragedy, Smith testified at the hearings, becoming known among Washington society and the press as "the white widow" because of her mourning clothes. Later that year, a newspaper article reported that "Mrs. Smith was one of three Titanic brides to whom posthumous heirs were born." She had a son, Lucian P. Smith, Jr., on Nov. 29, 1912. "We used to say that Eloise was probably the only woman in the world who in just a year's time made her debut, got engaged, married, survived the Titanic, became a widow and then a mother," says Sandra Pinson, a family friend. Ironically, Eloise Smith married Robert W. Daniel, another Titanic survivor, two years later. "The story she told my family was that Daniel, 27 at the time and wearing only his grandfather's gold watch on a chain around his neck, jumped from the Titanic into the sea," says Smith's second cousin Edwin Vinson. "Moments later, he was pulled aboard Lifeboat 6 and Eloise offered to share her mink coat with him to keep him warm." Things got hotter aboard the Carpathia. "It seemed more than blankets and hot food warmed the newly acquainted Daniel and the attractive young woman from West Virginia," said a newspaper in Richmond, Va., where the Philadelphia banker was born. A later edition said, "Daniel left the ship carrying in his arms Mrs. Smith, handing the nearly faint woman to her congressman father." Following their 1914 wedding, the couple spent their honeymoon in England. They had sailed across the Atlantic just south of where the Titanic had gone down. Eloise Hughes Smith Daniel married twice more before her death at age 47 in 1940. Incidentally, the streets in Westmoreland named after the Smiths were not so labeled because the tragic couple was on the Titanic, but because they belonged to the Hughes and Vinson families, who owned much of the land in the area and pushed for its annexation by the city in the '20s. Which is why Huntington has a Belle Street, Blair Street, Hughes Street, Jefferson Road, Mary Street, Tudell Street, Vinson Street and a Vinson Road -- as well as an Eloise Street and a Lucian Street."

The following was provided to me by a very good friend and will probably be very useful to some of you. JAMES ANTHONY HUGHES was born Feb. 27, 1861 in Corunna, Canada, the son of James W. and Ellen McNulty Hughes. He was ten years old when his parents moved to the United States and located in Ashland, KY, where he immediatley found his first job as messenger for an Ashland bank. As a young man, he entered mercantile life, traveling on the road as a salesman and later entering business for himself at Louisa, KY. Here he heard the call of public life and in 1887 he was elected as a representative in the Kentucky legislature for Lawrence and Boyd Counties, the first Republican to receive this honor. During his life in Louisa, he met Miss Belle Vinson, to whom he was married in the old Piedmont Road Church, Huntington, WV, on Dec. 28, 1885. After serving two years in the KY House he left Louisa and moved to Ceredo entering the timber business with his father-in-law, Col. S. S. Vinson. In 1894, he made his debut in WV politics, winning the Republican nomination for the State Senate, and being returned to the office by the voters in the genral election, for a four year term. Senator Hughes was appointed postmaster of Huntington in 1897 and served in this capacity until 1900 when he was nominated and elected to the House of Representatives from the fifth district of WV in which Cabell was then included. He was elected from this district for seven successive terms, serving in the 57th, 58th, 59th, 60th, 61st, 62nd and 63rd congresses and until ill health forced his temporary retirement. In 1926 and 28 he was elected to Congress. He died at the age of 69 in an Ohio sanitarium in 1930, where he had been resting and receiving treatment for a number of weeks. He was a member of a large family of whose members but one, a brother, John G. Hughes of Ashland, survive him. He left two daughters, Mrs. Eloise Hughes Wright of Charleston and Mrs. Tudelle Hughes Van Sant of Huntington. Funeral services held in Huntington. --------------------- JAMES W. HUGHES, age 86, former postmaster of Huntington, died at the home of his son, former Congressman James A. Hughes on 5th Ave., Huntington June 1920. He was born of Scotch parents in County Mayo, Ireland, Nov. 11, 1833 and was educated in Scotland and was a teacher in Ireland. He married Miss Ellen McNulty of County Mayo, Sept. 25, 1855, with whom he left for America at once. The young couple landed in New York, but went at once to Corrona, Canada where they lived until 1872. Here all but the youngest of their 8 children were born. ------------- BELLE VINSON was the daughter of Samuel Sperry Vinson and Mary Damron. Samuel and Mary married Sept. 21, 1854. Mary was born Jan. 5, 1836, the daughter of Squire Samuel Damron and Vashti Jarrell. She died July 30, 1921 at her home in Westmoreland, WV and was buried in Spring Hill Cemetery, Huntington, WV. -------- SAMUEL SPERRY VINSON was born in Lawrence Co, KY on April 14, 1833 on Tug Fork of Big Sandy, six miles above Louisa. His parents were James Vinson from NC and Rhoda Sperry, from Tussell of Montgomery Co, VA. Samuel Sperry Vinson moved with his parents to present day Wayne Co. when he was two years old. Samul died about 1904. Rhoda Sperry came with her parents, Benjamin Sperry and Winnie Artrip Sperry, to Lawrence Co, KY about 1800. Benjamin and family later settled on what is now Wayne Co, WV.
