AmosNY: I don't know. I haven't run across any family from the second marriage.

AYWalton: you mean the child bearing age question, alt?
alt: any of those questions AYWalton
AmosNY: I lost the souvenir program so I have to contact my cousin in Birmingham.
AYWalton: I would think that there might be a possibility of other children/siblings/relatives to find.
AmosNY: She was born in 1855 so I don't think there were other children.
alt: yes, I know.... I was thinking in terms of 'give me a chance to understand what I've found before asking things I haven't had the time to research'.
AmosNY: She died in 1939.
AYWalton: that is part of the same process.
alt: I guess so AYWalton

Selma: Evening soulchile
alt: Hello Seventies Soulchild , good evening
Seventies Soulchild: hi alt, AmosNY, AYWalton, deannie, Selma. How is everyone tonight?
AmosNY: Hi SeventiesSoulchild.
Selma: Interesting post by sharon sutton (seraph?) on FBI records
AYWalton: doing good and you, Soulchile?
deannie: Hi Seventies
Seventies Soulchild: Doing great!
alt: yes it was Selma .. didn't know they were available. guess they're now open under the FOIA
Seventies Soulchild: Yes, I posted something on the FOIA laws recently. They are now doing the open government act. So they are trying to get more info out to those who request.
AYWalton: where was the post?
Selma: I forget which Forum...Soulchile probably knows
Seventies Soulchild: In the History and Genealogy forum... screen locked. sorry Since she brought up the topic, I recall visitng Hyde Park (FDR) and looking at the records stored there from his administration. There was a lot of spying going on of the black population at that time... several prominent people were mentioned, A philip Randolph was one who stood out. I wouldn't have considered the Pres libraries as resource or even the FBI. That was a good find on Sharon's part.
alt: I would imagine Seventies Soulchild, since he was the big mover & shaker behind the Labor movement and the fed employment act.
AYWalton: which Forum is the thread in, SoulChile? I don't think I have seen it.
Selma: Her family was very active in politics and civil rights
alt: for sure Selma fair employment act
Seventies Soulchild: Pulling it now AYWalton.
AYWalton: ok
