alt: slow night.. any 'hot button' items to discuss?

3rdthawkins: umm, let me see

alt: anyone have any how-to tips?

3rdthawkins: don't know, but I am just about finish with all my lines going back to 1870, except Johnson and not finding anything on LUM wb

jhonora: Ty

AmosNY: I don't have any. Genealogy is not my top priority right now. Real estate investing is.

alt: 3rdthawkins, when you say ALL my lines.. how many are you talking about?

3rdthawkins: um, let me see, you're right alt

jhonora: Amos, I believe Gerald O'Hara said to Scarlett: Land is the only thing that matters ... the only thing that lasts

alt: good Eurpoean concept, huh jhonora?

jhonora: Yes, it is alt.

AmosNY: Jhonora, that is correct. That's why when you evaluate real estate land is always 20% of the value.

alt: my land ain't your land LOL LOL

3rdthawkins: actually it's only 4 lines, 2 or 3 lines I don't have alt

jhonora: lol

alt: there is a discussion ...property vs land ....

3rdthawkins: if you own property, do you own land? and what part of the land do you own, and how much of the land is your property? I think I asked that right

jhonora: I would think if you own property you own land, there is "improved land" versus "unimproved land," and then land with structures.

AmosNY: In some states with mineral rights you might have a situation where someone might have mineral rights to your land.

Selma: Time for me to go folks...have a great evening

3rdthawkins: hello ryan

AmosNY: Hi Ryan!

ryan: Hi all, long time no visit to Sat Night (Happy new year too)

3rdthawkins: yeah, been a while

vkn: di do I have your phone number

jhonora: It is amazing the advances made by families with history antebellum literacy versus postbellum literacy. When freedom came they were more prepared to gain land, positions, and of course further education.

di: not sure. i can give it to u

3rdthawkins: you know, I was thinking earlier I sure would like to do more research on my great grandmother Ella Sanders Hawkins, who was a school teacher, just not sure how. Don't know what she taught in, but heard she taught in Saint Stephens, where she met my great grandfather

jhonora: Saint Stephens, Alabama??

3rdthawkins: don't know what **school** she taught in oops, Saint Stephen, South Carolina

di: start with time frams and all.

vkn: See yall 2morry good peeps

jhonora: Maybe you could check to see if the county school records exist, whether she is mention in county commission minutes, or local papers.

3rdthawkins: well in 1920 she was listed as school teacher, she was 23 although census says 18 did the first part of that jhonora, nothing came up

AmosNY: Niters all!

jhonora: They may have run an article about the local schools around graduation time, May or June.

3rdthawkins: Berkeley is difficult to search in, I contacted the library, I have to actually go there to get anything done there or have someone else visit Berkeley County

ryan: well yall, I know I'm kinda late, will get here earlier next time.. for now, gotta run off. later

jhonora: That's a problem in many counties. It would be good business for locals with the know-how in their county courthouse.

3rdthawkins: that's one of those places you have to close your eyes and hope for the best, hope some record pops online or something funny thing, I tried emailing their county probate judge to inquery about getting a marriage license for my great grandparents, and the email bounced back

di: have you contacted the gene societies around there. and look up people usually are already familiar with the info.

3rdthawkins: they charge you di, and I don't have any more money

di: gene society contact list too..

3rdthawkins: I can't even find a phone number for them will have to try them, I mailed them once about another research I am doing on Payson, but no reply will try and call

jhonora: The SC State Archives has copies of most county microfilm

3rdthawkins: will try them again jhonora, I contacted before about Rosenwald schools, thinking and wondering if she taught in one of them, but that was a dead end, will see if maybe she taught in a public school

di: u may hacve this already http://tinyurl.com/6dumfc

di: a search connected me to it but the document relating to st james comes with a dead link. something must have been on there at one time. hey another stone in the bucket they do not even have a parrish listed for sc. what a shame! i know the parish is/ was all black you said you contacted the charleston diocese. what about beaufort, do they have one. i am reading something that says st james was under the beaufort parrish

3rdthawkins: no I didn't, but there were two St James'

di: it was reffered to as the catholic crossroads (negro Mission) The Catholic church in the United States of America: undertaken to celebrate the golden jubilee of His Holiness, Pope Pius X, Volume 3 (Google eBook) page 133 http://tinyurl.com/4u227sn

3rdthawkins: ok di, see my grandather went to ICS, but not sure if his mother taught there grandather-means grandfather

di: ics?

3rdthawkins: I had contacted the Diocese before, almost two years ago inquiring about if my grandfather's mother taught there, but they apparently could not find anything. It was one of those things again, they would call back if they found something, but nothing.........................Immaculate Conception School

di: charleston or berkley

3rdthawkins: Charleston

di: years '

3rdthawkins: again di, it would be between 1918 and at least 1940
