As to the National Archives and Confederate Records decision, I can report only what has been written recently. In Volume 6 of the 1998 "Confederate Veteran" magazine, the current "SCV" Commander Rick Griffin, reports the following: "As some of you are aware the National Archives is curtailing its service of copying Confederate Records. The serivce is to be continued privately by Broadfoot Publishing Company. Pre- sently all of the Confederate microfilm records are being di- gitized by Tom Broadfoot, and they will be available on a fee basis. It is anticipated that the service wwill take only a few days to two weeks at tthe most." No further information on this project is known at this time. Hope this is of interest to some of you...

The following comes from a newsletter, Daughters of 1812 ~ Don't know that it will always work, but it's a good idea to start with! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wife's maiden name: "In the lower left hand corner of most old deeds, you will find signatures of two to four witnesses. The first one is always from the husband's side. The next one is always from the wife's side. That is to protect her 1/2 dower right under the law. Nothing you will ever use will give greater clues to maiden names than witnesses on old deeds." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hope this helps some one.... Fran

Hi Beverly, I'm wondering if you have any other information on this George Adkins. My grandfather was a George Willard Adkins married to Lelia Mae Corns on June 3, 1907 in Lawrence County Ohio and lived in Wayne County WVA. The only thing I know about George is his parents was Thomas E. Adkins and Christina Noe, both of Wayne County.. If anyone one the list has any connection or information to these people I would LOVED to hear from you... Fran Namotka

This was posted on another list and I thought it might be of use to some on this list... Fran Namotka This is a listing of the Confederate POWs who died while prisoners in the Louisville Military Prison, and were buried in Cave Hill Cemetery, Louisville, KY. Most of these were either wounded, or too sick to send to prisons further North, such as Camps Morton, Douglas, Chase, &c. As POWs began to die there, local Unionists did not want them buried with the Union dead, so a couple of well-to-do Confederate sympathizers bought and donated ground in Cave Hill Cemetery, which later became the Confederate sections. (Some CS POWs did, however, end up buried among the Federals in what became the National Cemetery.) ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ky/jefferson/cemeteries/cavehill.txt There is also a Georgia woman, Elizabeth Timms, buried among the CS POWs. She was taken from her home when the Federals passed by in 1864 and shipped North (her husband was away in the ANV). She was imprisoned in the women's section of the LMP, and died there (reportedly due to mistreatment at the hands of Dr. Mary Walker). Her dying wish was "bury me with my people," which is where she lies to this day. If anyone has any corrections to the names, ranks, or units on this listing, based on research into unit records, I would very much appreciate it if you would pass it on, so I can correct the list. ============================== ============================== Geoff Walden
