Epidemics Back to top Epidemics have always had a great influence on people - and thus influencing as well, the genealogists trying to trace them. Many cases of people disappearing from records can be traced to their dying during an epidemic or moving away from the affected area. Some of the major epidemics in the United States are listed below: 1657 Boston Measles 1687 Boston Measles 1690 New York Yellow Fever 1713 Boston Measles 1729 Boston Measles 1732 -3 Worldwide Influenza 1738 South Carolina Smallpox 1739 -40 Boston Measles 1747 CT, NY, PA, SC Measles 1759 N.

US Army training camps became death camps, with 80% death rate in some camps. Finally, these specific instances of cholera were mentioned: 1833 Columbus, OH 1834 New York City 1849 New York 1851 Coles Co. , IL, The Great Plains, and Missouri @ John L. Compton

Destruction of Courthouses Back to top Below is a list from the State of Georgia, Dept. of Archives & History of Georgia Counties and the years the Courthouses were subjected to a disaster. This does NOT mean that ALL RECORDS were lost. Often, folks took their documents again in for recording after a disaster and later deeds will contain long chains of title, etc. CC's should still try to show what records are available for their county. We have included some research tips on what to do and what other records may be available for research. · Baker County: Flood - 1925, 1929. · Dade County: Fire - 1865, 1895. · Baldwin County: Fire - 1861. · De.

Black Dutch Back to top An excerpt (click to read entire article) WHO WERE THE BLACK DUTCH? According to Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedia: — a term which originally referred to ANYTHING of GERMAN derivation thus High Dutch signified the High German language, and Low Dutch the Low German. How we may have warped the meaning of "Black Dutch" becomes apparent in both a newspaper article and a letter. At a time when it was not fashionable to have Indian blood, here is what might happen: "It used to be that if you had Indian blood in you and someone asked you what you were, you'd say 'Black Dutch' but now more and more of our people are coming out, " said Morning Star, wife of Chief Neal Mc. Cormick, chief of the Eastern Creek Indian Nation. Another writer, descendant of a Creek Chief, wrote "the term Black Dutch is used to refer to one that has Indian Blood, and most particularly with CREEK INDIAN BLOOD. Although there were a few German/Swiss in the Creek Nation, they were in the minority. The term acutally does not refer be have any connection to this nationality. The Creeks preferred the Scotch, English or Irish in that order as far as marriage was concerned. There is no explanation as to why they preferred the Scotch. " So you see the term used to distinguish and describe progeny of Hollander-Spanish marriages, was later the disquise used by Indian white descendants to cover their red heritage. We must hope that our "enlightened age" will see a renewed value placed on heritage, be it from red-whiteor black. @ John L. Compton
