My name: I am Sonia L. Walker
Surnames: Foote, Lee, Walker, Simpkins, Irvin, McDuffie, Brooks, Belcher, Calhoun Davis, Rollinson +
Geographic Interest: Abbeville & Edgefield Counties, SC > radiating out from there
Research specialties:. Interested in finding descendants of those who were enslaved on Calhoun's Millwood Plantation, our little genealogy group, the Buffalo Genealogical Society of the African Diaspora, has a funeral program collection with 3000+ of Bflo-connected folks. I don't feel like I have a specialty yet, but I like helping new folks get started with their research & help with using the computer as a tool in research.
Websites: 4000+ folks connected to Calhoun Falls at www.sankofa.tribalpages.com
My cousins & I joke, "Calhoun Falls - ultimately one set of grandparents for all of us" - so if you're not a blood cousin, you probably married one.
