Tomorrow morning and afternoon at least. ProfDru: thanks 3rdthawkins: yeah daviss, unless it was a Catholic church, you can just contact the Catholic Diocese of Charleston, they hold parish records, it would be good to know exactly, but I don't think they will hold you to it ProfDru: it was a lot of fun participating in the blog talk show last night. 3rdthawkins: Aywalton got me singing All Night Long, now lol AYWalton: lol ProfDru: lol Seventies Soulchild: blog talk is a great forum lol AYWalton: well its a good tune! 3rdthawkins: sho' nuff ProfDru: did you listen in last night soulchile? Seventies Soulchild: I was so exhausted from watching my 1 yr old nephew... I turned in EARLY lol ProfDru: understood 3rdthawkins: still wondering where they get that energy from Seventies? Seventies Soulchild: But I'll be sure to listen today. AYWalton: I was fascinated listening to the story of your grandmother's involvement with the church organization, ProfDru. daviss: I have not had to research there yet 3rd but have looked at lots of probates where they have marriages so there have to be some sort of record. Selma: BRB... ProfDru: thanks angela 3rdthawkins: probably so daviss, perhaps a family bible Seventies Soulchild: I know where he gets it from. My sons were the same way at that age, but I was a lot younger then lol daviss: dunno but there were more than a few judges listed with different names ProfDru: The show is archived, http://www.blogtalkradio.com/antoinette-harrell 3rdthawkins: yeah, I see your point, my niece comes over (1 years old), gosh, she doesn't need sweets/sugar, she just goes I should say 2 daviss: they would have to show some type of proff I imagine Seventies Soulchild: I remember when she first came on, she was kind of well scattered with her topics... ProfDru: The interview gave me lots of food for thought about things I need to revisit. Seventies Soulchild: brb 3rdthawkins: I just don't think they kept records daviss AYWalton: what kinds of things will you revisit, ProfDru? ProfDru: Grandma Ven and my maternal line I have the most documents on this line. 3rdthawkins: and with it being (as jhonora described it) an interracial marriage, it probably just took place in a church they attended, or something like that no records ProfDru: I need to write more about this maternal line while my grandmother is still living so that she can enjoy it. 3rdthawkins: or perhaps "in the backyard" AYWalton: yes, that's goog thinking, ProfDru. daviss: I can see that if they were associated with the church (catholic) ProfDru: My grandmother still talks about her maternal grandmother often AYWalton: have you taped her talking about her? get a small audio recorder. jhonora: 3rd, I just called the Berkeley Co. courthouse. The woman told me they have marriages before 1911 on microfilm (.35 cents ea.). The physical records go back to 1911. Seventies Soulchild: I was checking ancestry this weekend and I see that someone has copied my Alec Mixon and his family into their tree.. lol But it has given me a new lead to look for them in another county... 3rdthawkins: for my Hawkins daviss, they were more like A.M.E. something like that, I know in like the 30s and 40s they attended Emanuel Church which I tried to contact but phone doesn't seem to work, daviss: thats what I thought jhonora 3rdthawkins: wow jhonora, ok, perhaps I'll do an interlibrary loan and check it out, thanks, I'm also looking for my great grandparents' marriages, but the lady could not find them listed either, and they married about 1920, I'm thinking in Berkeley Co., cannot find them listed in the Charleston Co. marriages daviss: perhaps they got a new number ProfDru: no, angela, I have not taped her. I know, shame on me. jhonora: Yes, sometimes you have to not let these clerks off the hook. You also really have to pour on that Southern honey. Don't make yourself seem like some city slicker swinging through to find your roots. 3rdthawkins: probably daviss ProfDru: lol jhonora 3rdthawkins: oh well, don't know about that Seventies Soulchild: lol jhonora sometimes we (I've been guilty of it) can't help ourselves... just part of the way we are raised! We can only be 'sweet' to a certain extent. lol 3rdthawkins: oh daviss, you remember when I was looking for the cemetery where my Hawkins was buried? well a cousin actually have a photo of my great great grandfather's tombstone, but she doesn't know what cemetery it was in jhonora: I think they are resentful a lot of times of people who they perceive as leaving the county and all of a sudden want to come back and start digging. daviss: what hawkins was that 3rdthawkins: my Hawkins family daviss, all of them Levy Hawkins Sr is the one who'se tombstone photo I have daviss: the info that i sent you a long time ago of your Edd oh I see 3rdthawkins: no, Hawkins daviss, not Hughes daviss: oh sorry Seventies Soulchild: sounds personal jhonora.... :? 3rdthawkins: both start with H, but a lot different stuff come after both :} Seventies Soulchild: as in the clerks... daviss: what state 3rd 3rdthawkins: you just made me realize something daviss.......two great greats both of them name have names that start with H.......South Carolina daviss for Hawkins, Hughes for Texas daviss: I see 3rdthawkins: so, 35 cent each for microfilm jhonora? daviss: no dc 3rd 3rdthawkins: for Levy, yes daviss, not for his wife jhonora: Yes, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to do an interlibrary loan. 3rdthawkins: darn! jhonora: You might want to see if there is a nice researcher in Berkeley who'll help you out. It has worked for me. Or do you have kin folks still down that way? 3rdthawkins: yeah, you're right, was thinking the same thing........I'm sure I do, but don't know any of them daviss: oh I thought you meant you did not know where levi was buried 3rd I guess I need glasses again and a hearing aid and a knee replacement 3rdthawkins: I didn't daviss, and still don't, the DC never stated a cemetery, just the City, there's a lot of that for Hawkins, either buried in Jamestown or Alvin, SC, but no exact location daviss: and a hip replacement whats wifes name 3rdthawkins: so still looking for name of cemetery........Jessie daviss, you know, maiden name Lum daviss: jessie hawkins 3rdthawkins: yep daviss: here they both are AYWalton: gonna run, folks.
