yatah: i hope if you can help me some of my family history , vicky
Daviss: did you find some new people to add yatah?
L.T. Lanier: thanks for 'listening' alt.
alt: yw L.T. Lanier
yatah: yea on davis side and mintz side as far plently information and wait fot 1940 come out i work on
alt: might also look for family of Jack to see if there are other possible connections to Scott & Mary thru his children L.T. Lanier
yatah: just hard find is quiller and darby is brick , vicky
Daviss: oh yeah yatah the 1940 should give you plenty of clues on your quiller and darby
L.T. Lanier: Mary had four other children in the 1870 household Sarah Thomas, Nellie, and Martha.
vkn: What state yatah
L.T. Lanier: Nellie and Martha were Walkers
yatah: yeah that why i hold that now i need finish on my mom's side family all name is come from south carolina , st matthew vkn
alt: follow those suranmes thru that time period for possible connections L.T. Lanier ,,, ie the community approach we keep talking about.
yatah: i need find of jonathan madison's parents name , vicky
alt: looks like Wanda Sykes is the "big' story this week, huh?
L.T. Lanier: Nellie married a guy named Lewis Cason. Mary had another son John Martin Walker. I think he may have also lived with Scott at one point. in 1910. There were some additions to the family at that time on the censu
yatah: i do have birth date and dead , vicky
L.T. Lanier: I think so alt! 9 generations! Incredible
Daviss: yatah one thing you will have to do when the 1940 census comes out is to go though the census page by page because it will not be indexed...ok
L.T. Lanier: I'm definitely going to make sure that I watch the episode when it airs in May.
Daviss: when was Jonathan born yatah
yatah: april 1910
alt: the NY Times article did mention Paul's work on FPOC and white women having children with enslaved black men.
AYWalton: I saw that, alt. It was a good article.
L.T. Lanier: yes they did. They also mentioned Ira Berlin's work as well.
yatah: and jonathan madison born in ky, lexington, vicky
AYWalton: I see it also mentioned Ms. Cerny the lead genealogist for all of Skip Gates's programs.
vkn: ayw what is claim to fame of Wanda Sykes ?
alt: that's why it is hard for me to get 'shook' up with the FPOC stories.... my entire maternal line follows that pattern so it is most of my research.
yatah: his wife jeanetta hawkins born ky, lexington too
L.T. Lanier: So it would be interesting to see if like the Mozingo family if there are white descendants of the daughter Mary and mother Elizabeth Banks.
AYWalton: She is a popular comendian, and actor vkn.
L.T. Lanier: Do you have 'white' relations alt?
alt: Oh, I'm sure there are L.T. Lanier (Mozingo)
AYWalton: there are lots of families that stem from these families, and I thought I detected a theme that her history was so "rare". It is really not "that" rare.
vkn: OK thanx ayw I was missing the details but seeing many posts
L.T. Lanier: That would interesting to trace those people.
Daviss: Yatah James and Mary his parents

alt: without mentioning surnames I have 'several' familiy lines who have been "white' for a few generations L.T. Lanier
L.T. Lanier: ok
yatah: why jones
Daviss: No idea yatah mavbe it was indexed that way
yatah: i think last name use by mother last name madison ? maybe
Daviss: mabe this James is the step father

AYWalton: Melvin inspired me to dig out my data I have had for ages and put it up.
L.T. Lanier: They found Wanda's 9th great grandmother Elizabeth Banks a woman from Scotland.
AYWalton: http://www.african-nativeamerican.blogspot.com/2012/03/chickasaw-freedman-history-of-don.html

AYWalton: that's what I hope to do Daviss!
yatah: that how i found my quiller and darby in fhc in 1998 something after that busy lot after have kids lol
alt: Daviss, Wanda Sykes' story is a little earlier (1683), but there are 'dozens' of similar stories here in Ohio coming out of VA & NC in the late 1700's of white women/black men.
AYWalton: I will spend one full day at the FHC before the conference. Also similar stories in MD.
yatah: you will like there
vkn: Start making your plan now yatah. No excuses
Daviss: 1683 wow alt
yatah: lol
AYWalton: Agnes Callum here in MD also has a 1600s era history.
Daviss: alt its something about you men lol
yatah: i promise my self i must finish that family history before kids get adult lol
AYWalton: She has a free line and an enslaved line that go back into the 1860s. It's never finished, though yatah.
yatah: i hope
AYWalton: Always another line, always another story to tell, always another question to answer.
yatah: true
Daviss: yep
alt: and my LaForce story dates to about 1725-1735, but it is the ususal white man/black woman story of which there are literrally thousands in this area..
AYWalton: The moment you find a new name---the question is---who were their parents? You might choose to stop--but stopping does not make it finished. lol
yatah: talk to me ?
AYWalton: plus some ancestors like mine---keep messing with you to keep going. lol
vkn: lol true indeed ayw it never ends
yatah: yeah ight right
AYWalton: and as long as I enjoy the journey--which I do---I keep following where they lead me to go.
yatah: do jonathan has brother or sis what said ? , vicky
Daviss: I agree with that AYWalton.. I am hoping to at least get a new name sometime or another
AYWalton: quite true, Daviss. and of course one can visit what we already have and study those records for more clues previously missed.
alt: a wonderful journey AYWalton and getting better all of the time with newer data becoming available and online.
AYWalton: I agree alt. Well, I better run, folks. Have a good day everyone.
yatah: good day which one best to search on family history on www?
vkn: alt and daviss do we need to do a special chat to watch the Gates event on the 25th
alt: I was fonna say not so much of what we missed, but the surrounding data that we didin't know about is making review of older materials a "must do" thing.

Daviss: ancestry is always the first source yatah I would say
yatah: wait vicky jonathan live in 1930 he has daughter born 1930
