Hello everyone,
October's roll call will focus on just one generation of your CLAIBORNE
family. It will be a twofold project, including data and also a bit of
'color.'
1. Select one family -- husband, wife, and children -- and give whatever
birth, marriage, or death dates and locations you may have for each one of
them.
The second step is optional, but I hope you'll find it interesting.
2. Share with us what you have learned about this family. Have there been
any stories passed down through the generations? You may choose one family
member to feature, or the family in general. Has your research turned up
clues to their daily lives? How were they affected by wars, the weather, or
by the frequent and sometimes deadly epidemics? Did they live their entire
lives on the same land where their parents lived, or did they join others in
search of a better life elsewhere?
This Roll Call is for the full month of October, so take your time and post
when you're ready, but I do hope that each of you will participate. We all
collect and record the names, dates, and places for our families, but the
stories give them life!
Don't forget to replace the subject line with the name of the head of
household of the family you choose -- no one wants to see a mailbox full of
'roll call'!
I will leave you with a thought to ponder...a hundred years from now, what
will be the stories told about YOU? [gasp!]

CLAIBORNE listmgr.
Hi, I'm new to the list, but anyway, I am trying to locate the parents of
REBECCA CLAIBORNE, who married John Thompson, and trying to find out if
these are the parents for a George Thompson, also.
Thank you.
