Archives:Savannah Georgia;The lost archives!

I have been away doing a lot of different projects!One of these is getting everyone to sign a petition .The Savannah Georgia Archives is scheduled to closeNovember1st.Our heritage lies in these records.Roots of our individual stories.This is a sad day.I am passionate about this as I told them!Researchers such as us use these archives a lot!If these close will our ancestors records be locked away in a dusty old room where they are forgotten and lost!

Are you a Descendant of The Mayflower?

My research has led me to some interesting places.I came upon an article wrote by a group but who wrote it wasn't listed.General Society of Mayflower Descendants.This is a website to assist those looking to see if there is a connection in there own family tree.So me being curious I found the Carter name.A Robert Carter.To refresh your memory my Grandmother Lula Ray Burrell -find a grave Her mother was Rachel Suetta Carter Ray 1875-Find a grave-This General society of Mayflower Descendants was started in 1897.The only thing I could find on Robert Carter was a plantation called Oatlands in Leesburg Virginia.This plantation was built in 1789.By a young bachelor George Carter.This George Carter was a descendant of Virginia s first families.Then I went on to find a plantation in Virginia called The Shirley plantation.This was located in Charles city Virginia(between Richmond and Virginia.)This plantation was built on1613.The oldest plantation in Virginia.The home had been operated and lived in for 11 generation s of the same family.General Robert E.Lee's mother Ann Hill Carter was born and raised here.Lee spent much of his childhood on the estate.Now I don't know if there is any connection to this George Carter to my Robert Carter since dates were not given.I would appreciate any help.Thank you .The Mayflower has always fascinated me.To anyone interested I did write down the names who are connected to the Mayflower I will try to list them soon.

BessieMae Burrell4-13-1938-Mother and daughter

I can tell you I always thought my mother was Beautiful .Her hair when I was growing up was black.She had green eyes and long legs.When Moma sit she could wrap her legs around her other leg again.Moma was dark complexion.She was very bright .During school she helped me with English.She loved to read and loved to listen to Lorretta Lynn and Conway Twitty on her stereo.She bought albums to enjoy while she cooked or did something for one of us girls.We all enjoyed listening to her sing along with the albumsoma made the best fried chicken in the world.I remember Moma teaching me how to make biscuits .Finally after I ruined all the flour because I kneaded it too much ,she said maybe I was better off just helping wax the floors .I laugh now cause she's been dead for a long time.Now after years of practice I can make biscuits.Oh I wish I could just have one more of hers.Moma was a very proper woman .She taught me a lot and yes civilized this wild girl.At times it was funny how when she said no I knew to be quiet .I remember Moma working at Inman Mills.She worked 2nd shift .My oldest sister Mary Lynn cooked supper for us.Moma and I grew close as I grew up.Moma was sick a lot when I was 12or 13.She had a heart attack and we found out later it was a stroke.Charleston was where she had open heart surgery.These were hard years for her .I knew then that we were living on borrowed time.Moma was a spirited woman and lived many a year after then.We use to have coffe together after I grew up in the mornings.I think about Moma every day and know she's laughing at me every time I make a pan of biscuits.
