Their web site provided no info, I guess because the funeral was way back in 1988. If they are like funeral homes here in California, after 10 years they purge their file and send only pertinent info to the state level. So I would have to get his dc from the State of Maryland. Oh, snap! I ...

I am going to suggest that you look for records for all of the children from the 1870 and 1880 census records who are residing in the household....marriages and deaths and see what information is provided. Although the transcription for the age for Sallie is said to be 19 in 1870, the actual image ...

Hello, I would assume from the 1870 census records and others that he was born ca 1835 in NC and that he and Rebecca/Bissey are the same people in all of the records you've collected to this point. I would also assume Rebecca's maiden name to be Barnett as that is the name given on the ...

Many thanks for your feedback! Now, I only need guidance on where to go from here. I feel like I need to make some kind of assumption in order to forward my research before 1860, that either Cezar was a slave, and/or he migrated from another state. (Beaufort County attracted many newly freed ...

Hello ZSUNY, Your information looks solid to me. The records point out genealogy rule #1 "Spelling Doesn't Count" when looking at the various spellings for the names of the family members on the various source records. The differing names for Rebecca, with their spellings could be nicknames for ...

I am seeking help with a brick wall in my research. I cannot seem to get further than my 4x great Grandfather, Cezar Potter and can't even be certain about him and his wife's identity. I listed 5 resources below from A-E that support him and his wife(s) identity but I'm not convinced ...

Hi Georgia, Great news! Congrats! Have you considered contacting the funeral home? I have done that in the past and they were able to supply me with information including a copy of a death certificate. Regina

About 10 years ago I began concentrating on my husband's ADAMS line from North Carolina at the request of our elder son. North Carolina has lots of good records that literally popped up all over the place. Names jumped off the census records. Some of my husband's uncles were tough nuts to ...
