Notice that S. Mitchell married two different men at the same time? I DON'T THINK SOOOOO...Anyway, these accounts were given by family members out of bibles, census, etc.

And as I said, this is just the first chapter. I would be happy to send you the electronic book, chapter by chapter, if you'd like to have it???

Where did the Mitchells sail from...
I love it.

I don't know....Here is the first record in the book:

1. WILLIAM1 STANFORD was born Abt. 1729 in Ireland, and died in Chester Co., SC (?). He married UNKNOWN Bef. 1751 in Ireland or Virginia. She was born in Ireland??, and died in Chester Co., SC (?).

Geese, JJ. You're related to half the world.

Chatty,
I love it when you refer 2, "My Aunt Fannie..."; that cracks me up! Pun intended!

JJ The "Unknown" In Ireland at one time Mothers names were left blank on birth certificates.Such a patriatical society.this makes research harder when popular names arise.Spelling too makes for difficulties.
I was so sad to see in a Gt Gt Grandfather death certificate that his Mothers name was not noted...Bibles help very much.
In this digital age every thing is so readable.But the old certificates I view at our family research centre are so wonderful.Christenings here from way back even have two witness so our records are easier than those in Ireland.Here a patern on naming also existed so I have learned to see the birth order for family who were usually named after Grandparents.
You would have enjoyed being a researcher JJ..

JJ,
I found some Gibbs and Davis in my background. May be we're related? Now wouldn't that be a trip!

Jabber,
I've found we are all kin. I mean, we're all God's chillin', you know?

If at any time, MA, you would like to have me send you the entire electronic book, just let me know. I would be happy to do so...a chapter at a time.

Yes, I would love to do research. I love finding that needle in a haystack. I love jigsaw puzzles, and brain teasers. I had a wonderful time going all over Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee doing our genealogy while looking for my grandfather. I would love to be trained properly in this occupation.

Tell you something else...don't think me a nutcase, but I would love to specialize in cemeteries. They've always fascinated me. The stones, the names, the engravings. I would love to search them for relatives for me or for others. How strange is that?!!! HA!

Know what you mean! I did hear or read somewhere, some time
that we actually are all related, way back when. You and me probably go back to the Ingins!!! LOL...

Nutcase ? Certainly not...And cemeteries show dates and families.I have photos taken this week,and the statement from the bible carved there let me see how similar we are.
We must be similar JJ cemetaries are places of interest I was taken to lay flowers as a child and continue to show I care.

Its the needle and haystack I like.I am bamboozled by one man..so I asked a distant cousin for more info..so we are like two scouts...seeking.
I also love the names..these forefathers and mothers..cousins.also spending time researching social and living /working conditions of whatever era.
I have had one or two amazing coincidences which have made me ponder.I am learning all I can and attending as many events and training..so much to learn.

I so wished we lived closer. Couldn't we have fun? I also wish I had known you when I visited Edinburgh. Oh boy....

I love names as well and find them fascinating. Do you like the old timey names? They speak to me. And I find it downright amazing we're even able to find many a relative as some of them changed their names over the years, or some even changed them at Ellis Island. I've heard stories of people who came to this country and when asked their names, they hid the real ones for one or more reasons, and made up last names....they would copy them from something that caught their eye when asked...for instance, if someone said, "Last name?" They would look around and if they saw a cardboard box, they would say, BOX, when in fact they're last name might have been Oxenhall or something.

Isn't it all amazing?
