Selma: You should have stayed alt..and livened it up.. LOL alt: I guess Selma, but they were a little too far out there for me. Selma: What were they talking about alt: it was a Pocohontas, Charlemagne & Mayflower conversation.... with no details LOL Seventies Soulchild: I tip in every once in a while alt and they are rather boring. Nope no details and definitely don't talk about anything other than white genealogy without any techniques... lol lol lol Selma: Oh Ok the usual...I have been thru those conversations at conferences..e Seventies Soulchild: ok what I make a comment and everyone gets all quiet? lol 3rdthawkins: #17 folks ProfessorDru: gotta run Selma: Some of the best meetings I have been to..they have not mentioned black folks..and I didn't go there for that..but these folks had great info on records, sources etc 3rdthawkins: true Selma, it is always good to meet others who research their own, and you learn a lot alt: yes Selma, I've found that to be true at those 'white' conferences/workshops I've been to... the sessions are usually great & very informative. daviss: no way getting over that here in AZ Selma because the few that I have been to the AA presence has been no more than 3 Selma: Most of these sessions were done by folks who have been researching for 30 or more years... daviss: and those two came with me lol Selma: LOL... khathu: have a good one Selma: Char Bah and I use to be the only one of us at some of these meetings..but it is better now 3rdthawkins: lol daviss alt: right Selma and the session are mostly about 'process' and not personal genealogies Seventies Soulchild: bye y'all gotta get back on the grind. Selma: Yes, process, records, where to find them, how to use them, understand them, 3rdthawkins: I more perfer chatting with the white genealogists I do chat with because they emphasis chat to genealogy and not personal talk daviss: It has been a little while since I have been but I hope that things have changed in that regard here 3rdthawkins: they actually help people daviss: where is that chat so I can get in on it 3rd mabe even just to listen 3rdthawkins: I will email you daviss daviss: ok thx alt: oh, I see where Megan Smolenyak is gonna be in KY this Friday at the African Heritage Center in Louisville. daviss: Have you heard her alt Selma: I missed her when she came here 2 years ago alt: yes daviss, and she is GOOD!!!! Selma: 17th miner rescued...16 more to go daviss: I think Seraph said that she was alt. She saw her in Dallas very exciting Selma alt: I've had a couple of DNA discussions with her. we're DNA cousins,, both Y & mtDNA LOL LOL Selma: YOu should have invited her to your reunion...she probably would have come alt: hehehehehe @Selma The Adams reunion is not in my direct Y or mtDNA lineage Selma daviss: then they had Palin and Obama hooked up as 10th cousins this morning on CNN alt Selma: Ummm.. 3rdthawkins: I saw that mentioned on Yahoo daviss crazy daviss: that should make her ratings fall lol lol Selma: On his Daddy's side alt: I saw that daviss, not too far-fetched.. a 10th cousin goes back how many generations? 8 maybe Lol @ Selma daviss: dunno alt about the 8 generations alt: 1-2-4-8-16-32-64-128-256-512-1024-2048-4096 .. okay maybe 13-16 generations daviss: lol whew! Selma: Have you all been following the Dutch Liggons thread? alt: and then their collateral connections yes Selma daviss: I have Selma and I tried finding him. I am wondering if that is a nickname alt: gotta be daviss .. a nickname daviss: They are all clumped together in 70 hard to imagine him not being there Selma: Thats what think..I did find CAIN in 1870..she does not be seem to be taking notice of the other Liggons around him It is possible he just was not counted... 3rdthawkins: hello Ingrid daviss: gobs of them Sel Ingrid_Doweary: Hey Everyone! alt: exactly Selma... Spivey: Hi Ingrid_Doweary! daviss: even going back several pages in fact, I went through all 22 pages Selma hello Ingrid alt: or mis-indexed in 1930 is he "Scoggans" or something as a 90 y/o with his daughter in Indy? daviss: yes alt! alt: Hello Ingrid Selma: Hello INgrid daviss: my grandfathers nickname for my mother was "Dutch" 3rdthawkins: my brother was keeping a dog named Dutch daviss: and her name was Zepher alt: when found in 1880 he has an 8 y/o child born in MS so he may have even been in MS as early as 1870... mis-indexed, or as Selma is saying ' not counted" daviss: I still think he is one of those in 1870 alt Selma: I think that they were probably slaves born in NC and either taken or sold to MS daviss: instead of indentured alt: me too daviss.. he's about 30 y/o so certainly should be out on his own by then. Selma: Yes..if you track the ages of the children in 1880..you can approximate when they might have arrived daviss: The white Loggins are on the same page alt: me too Selma Selma: Yep.. alt: we found him buried in Indianapolis for her. Selma: Dutch? alt: yep Selma: Has she sent for the death certificate alt: dunno Selma Selma: When does MS start keeping birth and death and marriage records daviss: I dunno I don't know lol Selma: Thats OK I will google alt: he is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery in Indy daviss: I was hesitant to answer her post because I wanted to look at little further Selma: 1912 daviss: I reread it her post. She said he was born in NC but also that he came over as indentured from Germany Selma: That is her oral history daviss alt: yep, came from Germany, but all census records say born in North Carolina. possibly mean his parent(s) came from Germany as indentured servants Selma: Then she would find them identified on the census if that was the case alt alt: Selam like the Harvard folks we think is a generation off in her calcualtions daviss: Cain is listed as MU alt: one would think Selma .. 'white' Loggins somewhere in the Carolina's ca 1840-1870 or so maybe even earlier daviss: hmmmmm Selma: Loggins surname only appears for 1 person in Barnetta's Book daviss: was it Henry Selma alt: NC is a big State and she doesn't give a clue as to possibly what county in NC they could have been located. Selma: Hold on alt: and as JE used to remind us there was a heavy concentration of Germans settled in NC. Selma: Need to get my other glasses...it is so sa alt: that came down to NC from PA .. another indentured possibility. daviss: The Loggins that is up above Cain in 70 was born in Tn alt: and TN & NC are bordering States daviss: but there is a 85 yo female born in NC \mabe she is the mother of the owner Selma: She is going to have to follow the migration of the folks that appear on 1870 and 1880 But the 85 year old would not appear in Barnetta's book There is a Marriet Loggins with a Burrell Mendenhall together since 1846 daviss: no but I am thinking one of those families listed below would be Selma: in Guilford You mean migrating after the War Oh I just read what you wrote daviss alt: I believe she has only been searching census records, probably needs to expand to other types of records too... like why is he with a widowed daughter in Indy in 1930 when he was still in MS in 1920? daviss: agreed alt Selma: She probably should be focusing on the 1900 - 1930 time frame at this point alt: and he is 90 y/o in 1930 .. gotta be some kind of paper trail over 90 years. daviss: well, gotta run folks have a nice day Ingrid_Doweary: Bye Daviss daviss: bye Ms Silent Ingrid lol Selma: I guess I better run too...have a great day daviss: later folks! Spivey: Bye daviss! Bye everyone! Have a good day! alt: laters 3rd & Ingrid Ingrid_Doweary: Oh well chat with you next time 3rd. Happy hunting, Bye |
