When it came time to provide information for her death certificate, I couldn't remember a thing - my mind was a total blank. And this was after 13 years as a genealogist. You're lucky you could function well enough to provide answers that will be useful in 100 years!Elizabeth O'Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191827688514996520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885433803501218825.post-42488583317712800852011-06-01T20:01:57.139-07:002011-06-01T20:01:57.139-07:00Thank you!!Thank you!!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08638438768826998135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885433803501218825.post-87079491357841022232011-06-01T15:38:31.855-07:002011-06-01T15:38:31.855-07:00What a find!

There may be records.Also with an illegitimate child if living outwith the major cities you had to go in front of the church to have the father of the child confirm his status and promise help if need be so that the mother did not become a drain on the public puse.Hazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15695017920054989927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885433803501218825.post-46535095852635926962011-02-05T01:42:58.482-08:002011-02-05T01:42:58.482-08:00One of the best content articles I've ever bef...One of the best content articles I've ever before examined with this subject.

Their parents were Frederick Briggs and Mary Goodrich. Frederick was hanged in 1789 in Virginia for stealing a horse and wrote a long letter to his family naming each child among whom were Dolly, Polly, Thomas, Howell, Edward, and Nancy. We wonder whether the family had already moved to SC, thus the letter, and then wound up in Yancey County NC, as most of those names show up there about the same time. <br /><br />Roger Porter<br />porterhouse88@gmail.comRog n Earlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361650245817836029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885433803501218825.post-19705690922752370852010-06-12T20:08:53.839-07:002010-06-12T20:08:53.839-07:00Nancy!

My grandmother, Theresa Barth, also settled in Detroit. She married my grandfather, Adolph Welchner, and they lived on Harding in the 1920s. Since Vodinci was such a small town, I'm sure they must have known each other.Nancy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17896787661726876624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-885433803501218825.post-9196481129917396152010-04-10T05:07:11.370-07:002010-04-10T05:07:11.370-07:00GREAT article. aand are children will not underst...GREAT article. aand are children will not understand unless they see articles like this. good going. was the date nov 9, I didn't know.
