Is there a Dan Mat(t)hews of the Amarilla, Texas, area on this Cates
List??? Has he, perhaps, been in contact with anyone else on this list
about a John and Amanda Cates of perhaps Hopkins or Raines County, Texas.
John b.c. 1871? Perhaps a descendent of Sampson Cates of Edgefield
District, South Carolina, but maybe of one of the other Cates branches that
migrated into Texas after the Civil War. I could not find anything he had
posted on CATES by doing a search on both rootsweb and genealogy forum. Not
much success on yahoo people search either. Not enough information.
We would like for Mr. Math(t)hews to contact us again about Cates research.
My husband thinks he may have some information for him. Mr. Mat(t)hews
called us last night, 4/25/04 about nine o'clock and said he would call us
again tonight about the same time. I was expecting a very important phone
call last night on that line and had to get him off as quickly as possible
so did not get an address, e-mail or phone number. Same thing happened
tonight more incoming phone calls on that same line about the time he had
said he would call back. Without going into a lot of detail, it turned out
that my elderly father had died under very upsetting circumstances.
I am the original genealogist in our family, but my husband has taken over
and expanded on the Cates background, trying to sort out all of the branches
out of North and South Carolina along the Southern migration routes.
His Cates ancestor, we are claiming, is Joseph of Wateree Creek with a wife
and six children in what became Fairfield District/County, South Carolina,
in the South Carolina Council journals of c. 1749-51. Some of whom we think
had migrated into Edgefield District before 1790. His Cates migrated to
Alabama and on to Lufkin/Keltys area of northern Angelina County,Texas, in
the late 1880's.
Thanks for your time and assistance in this matter.

BURIED VETERANS' RECORDS NOW AVAILABLE ON WEB
By Suzanne Gamboa
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON - VA has made it easier and faster for the public to get answers about family history, old war buddies or famous war heroes. The agency put on the Web 3.2 million records for veterans buried at 120 national cemeteries since the Civil War.
The VA's Nationwide Gravesite Locator, at http://www.cem.va.gov, also has records for some state veterans cemeteries and burials in Arlington National Cemetery since 1999.
Joe Nosari, VA's deputy chief information officer for Memorial Affairs, said the records used to be on paper and microfilm. Private companies have put some of the information online and charged for it, but the VA information is free, he said.
The VA's gravesite navigator includes names, dates of birth and death, military service dates, service branch and rank if known, cemetery information and grave location in the cemetery. The VA will withhold some information, such as next of kin, for privacy purposes.
The site will be updated daily. Annually, about 80,000 veterans are buried at national cemeteries.
The VA also hopes to add records for veterans whose families requested grave markers from the VA. Those markers may go to private cemeteries or cemeteries overseas.

Most of you are familiar with the UK Census Project, but I notice
that many more transcriptions have been added lately.
The link at the bottom is to a page with a tool called a Family Data
Sheet Estimator. It's based on mathematical models of genealogical
records dating back to 1400. These are just estimates and things 'out
of the norm' will throw it off. For instance, I was born late in my
parents' lives, so when I did a make-up on my mother, her 'first
child estimated date' was 16 years before my actual birth; but it was
almost scary to see how close it came to my parents' other info and
on back to previous generations!
