Filby Prize for Outstanding Genealogical Librarianship.
Now is the time to submit nominations for the Filby Prize offered by the
National Genealogical Society and Scholarly Resources. Do you know
someone who is a librarian with at least five years experience whose
primary focus is genealogy and local history and is employed in a
public, academic, or special library? If so, you might know the next
recipient of the $1,000 award. March 1, 2000 is the deadline for
nominations. Individuals can also nominate themselves. The Prize is
named in honor of author and librarian P. William Filby.
Judges use the following criteria:
1.. Significant contributions to patron access to information, or to
the preservation of historical records.
2.. Development of an imaginative reference tool or similar
outstanding contribution of enduring consequence that fills the gaps in
existing information, accuracy, scope or usefulness of genealogical and
local history materials.
3.. Publication of a book or a body of articles that have
contributed significantly to the field of genealogy or local history and
that are of an interpretative nature.
4.. Other activities that have significantly advanced genealogy and
local history
5.. Work that has encouraged others to be innovative in the field.
Nominations should include personal and professional contact information
with illustrative examples of the nominee's performance as a librarian
who serves genealogists. Please send bibliographic citations rather than
publications. Completed nominations can be sent to the National
Genealogical Society, 4527 Seventeeth Street North , Arlington, VA
22207-2399. Attention : Filby Prize. The deadline is March 1, 2000.
If you copy and paste this to notepad it will be easier to read.
In the event you don't have a computer close at
hand to do the calculating:
REMEMBER 8870
That's not an error: It's the number to remember
when you want to find the birthdate of someone
when you only have the date of death and age.
How do you figure the birthdate? Suppose the
person died May 6, 1889,
at the age of 71 years, 7 months, 9 days.
****Write the year, month, day as:->18890506
****Subtract the age at death:------->710709
****This gives the figure:--------->18179797
****Now subtract 8870:----------------->8870
****The result is:----------------->18170927
Year 1817, 9th month (Sept), 27th day or 27 Sept,
1817
Whether you are a beginner or an "old Hand" these FREE
lessons from Rootsweb should be helpful.
ROOTSWEB'S GUIDE TO TRACING FAMILY TREES.
Index to lessons:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/
Although numbered they do not have to be done in that
order except for maybe lesson one.
I recommend starting with lesson seven "What is the
Question?" which has a link to "How to Write a Query."
A poorly written query will get little response. Learn how
to do it right and improve your chances.

I am confused. I only show two daughters for Hannah Boone/Smith Coffey. Millie Coffey was married to Wiley Stanley and John Tritt. Sarah Coffey was married to William Puett.
I do show a Margaret Coffey that married Joseph Baker. This Margaret was the daughter of Squire Coffey and Ella Webb. Squire was the son of Hannah Boone/Smith Coffey.
Do I have my info wrong? If so, let me know so that I may correct my data.

Scott,
Welcome to the list. Reviewing your pedigree, I find that we share the
line back from Smith COFFEY and Hannah BOONE. It is unclear from your
list (repeated below) whether you intend the date 1784 as birth of
Hannah or the daughter of Smith and Hannah through whom you descend. My
notes indicate Smith COFFEY was born, Ablemarle Co., VA, in 1776 and
Hannah BOONE was born, Burke Co., NC, in 1783. They had two daughters
that I know of. Here are the children, as I have them, of Smith COFFEY
& Hannah BOONE. I descend through their son, Morgan. Hope this helps!
Children of Smith COFFEY & Hannah BOONE:
Squire b. 1803
Morgan b. 1805
Leland b. 1806
Sarah b. 1807
Millie b. ????
Isaac b. 1814
Athan b. 1820
