English Settlers in Barbados, 1637-1800 International
Records --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Settled
by the British in 1627, Barbados was home to many inhabitants who later
relocated to mainland America, settling in Virginia, Georgia, the Carolinas,
and other colonies. In fact, throughout most of the 17th and 18th centuries,
there was a continuous flow of settlers from Barbados to virtually every
point along the Atlantic seaboard. As a result, many families can trace
their origins in the New World first to Barbados.

NARA: A Facelift for an Old
Friend -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- United
States researchers of many, many types find themselves inevitably drawn to
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to gain access to a
nearly incomprehensible wealth of national historical documentation. NARA
and its branch locations are the repositories for all kinds of documents--
both originals and microfilmed copies. The Presidential Libraries also fall
under the jurisdiction of NARA and provide unparalleled insights into the
personalities and administrations of many Presidents of the United States.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
Does It Mean What It
Says? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There
are several reasons genealogists should check more than one source for a
relationship, date, or fact on an ancestor. One reason is to learn more
about the ancestor and family being researched, but frequently there is
another reason that is just as important—uncovering incorrect information.
Even a document that appears to be correct may not be.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ==>
What Are
Townships? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Question) Could
someone tell me what a township is? In looking for relatives, I've come across
Cove Creek Township in Washington County, AR and Shoal Creek Township in
Newton County, MO. There aren't any towns there. I grew up in Joplin MO and
know where Shoal creek is and where Newton County are but never found Shoal
Creek township. What purpose did this serve? -- Jack
