Angela,<br />
<br />
Yes, I have copies of her work. I would like to share with y'all some photos from her book "Black Legacy" the cover photo & the preface. the book is out of print, but the LCCCN is 95-92040. Here also, are some photos of pages from "The History of St. Paul A.M.E. Church Urbana, Ohio." As a personal note for St.Paul, any reference to Adams, Reno, Lancaster, Tudor, Walker, Bridges and Gaiter surnames is an ancestor of mine.<br />

Art,<br />
<br />
Telling the story of Sheila Farmer Clay is a great one! Her work should be more widely known! Her efforts are exactly the kinds of works that should be emulated!!!<br />
<br />
Do you have copies of her works?

Okay Y'all.. here comes that know-it-all Art Thomas following in Angela's footsteps. Angela, everything you stated is so very true and I wouldn't change one word. I want to add another angle to this process of 'networking".<br />
<br />
Sharing our research... And I'm not speaking about our own personal genealogies and family history, but work all of us have done on a larger scale. I would like to use as an example what one lady, Sheila (Farmer) Clay, in my area of Ohio has done. Sheila is now deceased…

<br />
Sharing our research... And I'm not speaking about our own personal genealogies and family history, but work all of us have done on a larger scale. I would like to use as an example what one lady, Sheila (Farmer) Clay, in my area of Ohio has done. Sheila is now deceased (2009) and this work was all done before and without the aid of computers and today's technology.<br />
<br />
In every public library in our nine (9) county area, several area university libraries and NARA regional repositories in Ohio Sheila furnished copies of her 'community' research. ...The Guy Allen Funeral Records Urbana, Ohio 1934-1956, All black births, marriages deaths from 1864-1907 for Champaign County, Ohio, The History of St. Paul A.M.E. Church Urbana, Ohio 1824-1999 (175 yrs.), The Chavers-Stilgess Family from 1820 and her book "Black Legacy: A History of Blacks in Champaign County, Ohio 1803-2003. Oh, and all of these could be found on the Ohio shelves at the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne. Sheila urged us in her home area to write about Ohio AA's in the local, state and national genealogy newsletters and journals. She pushed those who were qualified to become menbers of the the genealogical lineage societies where their ancesotors resided. She explained this was somewhat a "peer review" of your documented research. Sheila was neither an accredited or profesionally registered genealogist. Her thing was sharing the history of her/our folks with anyone or any group that cared about perserving genealogical research and family histories.<br />
<br />
Angela closed by stating:<br />
<br />
"Perhaps it is time to take that lesson forward a step and make that admired person a mentor and learn from them, and follow their footsteps.<br />
<br />
The next generation will be blessed by the results of this networking and growing that we do, today."<br />
<br />
I hope to follow the lessons of Sheila and Angela....to Network and to Share.<br />

Thank you George. I know you will be there, next time!<br />

I had a great lunch Saturday with some genealogy colleagues and it solidified many of the feelings that I had as I left Ft. Wayne. Every person there had a unique story to tell, and I suspect that many interesting things will emerge from that group alone.<br />

We all have so much wisdom around us, and hopefully as we are energized and inspired, one can only look towards the future to see what will unfold. Some gems are already among us and many have begun to write, mentor, teach, and reach out. The future is promising.<br />
