There can be several reasons for short service records, especially for Confederates. Since the records are reconstituted from muster rolls, etc., the compilers would have to recognize the names as being the same person, so one set of records might b…

Greta: Margaret Leake Brinlee and Robert Brown Sims were my great-great grandparents. My great-grandfather was Robert Brown Sims, Jr. His sister was Mary Ann Sims who married James Edward Sims, one of Hiram Brinlee Jr's sons. Interesting little family knot!
Greta, I noticed on the South Carolina group that you mentioned the MANNING surname in Greenville and Anderson Counties. If this is the same family that produced 6 governors, my grandmother worked and traveled with the family as a nanny for years. Even though she only passed away in 2004 and I was very close to her, her genealogy is still quite a mystery for me. I can't help but wonder if comparing notes with a relative of the family for whom she worked might yield more results. Hope to hear from you soon! Rodney Williams
***waves to Greta*** In your reply to your comment on my page, no sadly I haven't made a research trip down to Texas. I had a couple of great uncles settle down somewhere in Houston, Texas. I haven't done much on their lines yet.....& I just have that bit of info from my grandfather's obituary. Where in Texas are you searching? And have you been to Arkansas doing any research?
I just had a thought....you know how they have those tour bus trips/packages? I wonder if they have one for genealogy buffs? lol Come to think of it, it sounds like a neat idea. :)
They might be connected. I have family in Texas. I have the Highsmith family book and I am trying to update it with all of the new members. Our family came from KY to. The Lewis and Moore families are in IL and also came from Ky by way of NC I believe. I have to ck my papers.
Hi, nice to meet you ! I recognized "your" photograph from all the genea-blogs that have Google Friend Connect. It must be your badge ;-) I thought I had to meet you. Kitty is looking good ! Do you have a blog yourself ?
Hey Greta - sorry it took so long to get back to you. The badge is on the main page - go all the way to the very bottom and there's a little link there.
Hi Greta! I resisted a day also and then joined. Haven't had as much time as I would have liked yet though to play much, have to learn to juggle everything! LOL Glad you are having fun and great to see you here too! :)
