Hello Every One,
Was surfing the net and ran across these two sites.
NARA's web site http://www.nara.gov/
Census Sites on the Web http://census-online.com/
I was unable to find the census I was looking for so am asking if any one
knows where I can find the 1850 Census records on line for Burke & Haywood
counties in North Carolina.
Thanks,
Sheryl

I've been able to determine through conversations with 2 different family
members that my James C. Chambers' first cousins included James W. Chambers
and Phillip Chambers from the Oconee District of South Carolina. If so, then
each of their fathers were brothers. James C. was b 1837 in Ga. , James W. b
1840 SC and Phillip b SC in 1839. At least in James C.'s and James W. the
name Clifton appears. There was a union between Benjamin Chambers and
Elizabeth Clifton in Person Co in 1773. Benjamin and Elizabeth first met in
Bertie Co. NC.and may have married there. (Another Phillip from Oconee b
1850 SC named one of his children Bertie and James W.'s son John named one of
his children Bertie). It appears members of this family first went into
Rowan/Iredell Co. NC and then on into the upstate of SC. There were three
Chambers in the upstate in the late 1700's and early 1800's that may have
been brothers, ie, Phillip, William and John. In my direct line through
James C., the names John, William, Robert, James and Henry are extremely
common. Would like to contact other Chambers that may be researching this
family. As you can see, a lot needs to be documented and finalized .
Thanks, Randy

My Great Grandfather was a James A. Chambers born 28 Dec 1847; died 30
Oct 1924. He married Sarah Atchley born 25 March 1849; died 07 Feb
1910, of Sevier Co., TN.
There children:
1. Mollie M. Chambers born 20 April 1869
2. William H. Chambers born 21 Sept 1870
3. J. Luther Chambers born 12 Aug 1872
4. Thomas B. Chambers born 08 July 1875
5. Anna L. Chambers born 08 Jan 1877
6. Bettie E. chambers born 21 Sept 1879
7. Nancy Chambers born 25 May 1881
8. Hulda Louise Chambers born 26 Sept 1882 (My Grandmother)
9. Brad L. Chambers born 20 Jan 1885
10. Margaret F. Chambers born 28 Oct 1887
11. Walter A. Chambers born 26 Jan 1890
James A. Chambers married again to a Sarah Hill, I think.
They had Francis, Ollie, Jeff, Charles, Beatrice and Louise (who died at
20 months).
I know Sarah's family but am not sure of who James A. Chambers father.
I believe James is the grandson of Andrew Jackson Chambers of Sevier Co.
but have not figured out for sure who is his father. Anyone have a
clue..
Thanks for passing on the GAR sites. I checked them out and you could

Two gunmen opened fire at the LDS Church's Family History Library Thursday
morning, wounding at least six people, including an officer.
The library, one of the world's top centers for genealogical research,
is directly across the street from Temple Square, site of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Salt Lake Temple and Tabernacle. The
church has been involved in genealogy since its founding nearly 170 years
ago.

Multi-purpose SEARCH ENGINE sites
http://www.flex.com/~calvin/search.htm
If you are not using search engines to help you in your genealogy research
effort then you certainly are missing the boat. The last time I saw anything
published on the subject, there were about 800 different search engines and
that was a year ago. The web site above is a listing of many of the very
best special purpose search engines. It also includes search engines
available in foreign countries which you can use. A brief explanation is
given for most of the search engines listed. If you think all search engines
are the same then you simply are not informed. Take a look at the site above
and see what you think. If you find any sites which are particularly good
for genealogy research please report that fact to this rootsweb list.
Several months ago there was something published which stated that there are
over 250,000 genealogy sites on the Internet. From this you can tell that
there is a lot information out there you've never laid eyes on. New
genealogy sites are popping up every single day. I'm not suggesting you can
do all your research by simply surfing the web, but you can get some
excellent source data if you only go looking for it.

Subject: FHN Special Report: Shooting at the Family HIstory Library
15 April 1999
FAMILY HISTORY NEWSLINE SPECIAL REPORT:
Shooting at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City
About 10:30 MDT on the morning of 15 April 1999, a single gunman
entered the Family History Library of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints in downtown Salt Lake City. Opening fire with a
small caliber handgun, he killed an elderly female patron and a male
security guard, and wounded five others, including a Salt Lake City
police officer.
Within minutes police cornered him in a room in the library. The
gunman opened fire at the police, and was mortally wounded in the
return gunfire. The deceased gunman was identified as 71-year old
Sergei Babarin of Salt Lake City. Mr. Babarin was reported to be
schizophrenic, recently refusing to take his prescription medication.
At the time of the shooting approximately 2,700 people -- staff,
volunteers and patrons -- were in the Family History Library. Most
of
these were quickly evacuated, although twenty to thirty of them hid
for hours while a police SWAT team secured the building.
A spokesman for the Family History Library confirmed that the
facility would remain closed through the weekend, saying that he
expected it would be open again on Monday morning.
The Family History Library is the world's largest genealogy library,
housing hundreds of thousands of books and millions of rolls of
microfilm. In 1998, over 800,000 patrons used library facilities. It
is located just west of Temple Square, and one block west of the
world headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints.

Hi All,
This is in reference to the posting Don in Fla sent in about all the
information on genealogy websites on the internet and how we may not be
looking at all of them. I agree with Don that while there is a lot of
excellent information on the web for us to use, we still need to prove any of
it. Anybody can send information into any website and anybody can start they
own website. That does not always make all the information on the site 100%
accurate or proven. I found a website that list all the NEW genealogy sites
that the own of the page can find. From what I can tell, he searches the web
daily and posts his findings on this page. He list the new sites by days,
there is about five or six sites for each day. The URL for this site is:
http://www.genhomepage.com/whats_new.html
<< If you find any sites which are particularly good

Just passing info again,
Sheryl
"Don in FL" for those interested in the GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC
(GAR), here are some helpful websites.
(NOTE: You had to serve in the Civil War to become a member of the GAR.
During the late 1800's the GAR later became a formidable political influence
in America. They held regular meetings. If you can find a GAR listing of
your ancestor it may include
his rank and the unit he served with during the Civil War. There were GAR
chapters throughout the United States.)
Give these websites a try in ref. to the GAR:
