alt: I 'resemble' that statement Daviss LOL

Seventies: lol

Daviss: lol I am really trying to figure out what my next step will be regarding genealogy not sure what route to take

alt: saw an interesting posting ny Dear Myrt.. about Blacks and the Marine's & 1942.

Seventies: Well, Daviss... what about looking at entire record sets...

Daviss: like what seventies?

Seventies: I know I usually find some good stuff in the marriage records. Even if its someone I'm not necessarily looking for.

Khathu: Hello everyone

Seventies: Hi Khathu.

Daviss: you mean records from Adams County?

deannie: hi Khathu

alt: for some reason she read a USA Today and got the impression blacks didin't serve in the military until an executive order signed in 1942 ..... Hello Khathu

Seventies: Yes. Like the man who had to prove who he was to collect SSN. His marriage certificate was amended. Now if his family was looking for him, they wouldn't know who he was based on a name change he explained in the amendment attached to the record. That was interesting to me. And this was in the 1940's

Daviss: alt, surely you jest about Mert lol lol

Seventies: alt, you are kidding me... lol

Daviss: oopps myrt

Seventies: Well this is to be expected.

Daviss: Hi Khathu

Seventies: If its not their history, it isn't worth bothering with.

Selma: Did Dear Myrtle reply alt

Daviss: That would not be bad if the area I want listed their marriage records Seventies

alt: nope!!!! I saw the post on FaceBook and mentioned to her that I had AA ancestors in the War of 1812, the CW, WW I & WW II prior to the exec order for the marines in 1942.

Daviss: sheesh alt, I need to read her reply

Seventies: Well Daviss.. just trying to give you some ideas. :}

Daviss: just saying seventies!

Selma: Afternoon Khathu

Seventies: Even if you can't help yourself, maybe you can help someone else ;}

Daviss: thanks for your ideas though lol lol been doing that since 92 Seventies

Khathu: Good afternoon Selma

Seventies: Okay well, don't know what to say Daviss. Maybe its time to sit down and write a book on what you know...

Daviss: I don't know nothin seventies

Selma: How is your project going Seventies?

Seventies: Slow.. lol

alt: on Dear Myrt... I think she just 'mis-read' the statement on the Marines & 1942.

Seventies: Actually now that my computer crashed, its at a stop..

Daviss: ahhh I see alt

Seventies: Hoping the techs at Best Buy can retrieve my data. If I had the XP boot disk I could do it myself....
