Thanks for leavi...Yes, Mariann, I did want to know! Thanks for leaving those links. I've seen you on Twitter for quite a while but never connected your comments here with your identity there!<br /><br />I'm surprised one of the original colonies would have such a late date for their vital records. I'm only just now beginning to delve into my family history in South Carolina, so I'm not yet familiar with the ins and outs of researching that state. From that perspective, yes, I would consider myself fortunate to be researching ancestors in a state with such early documentation.<br /><br />Ah, yes...the Princess Bride...you can thank my husband and my daughter for that: both consummate lovers of fiction. I, on the other hand, turn out to be the boring, fuddy-duddy of a practical soul, preferring non-fiction. I get my Cliff's Notes versions of colorful life from them.<br /><br />Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-74804772548900628322012-11-18T12:27:15.742-08:002012-11-18T12:27:15.742-08:00Very pleasing to read!

(I know it doesn't feel fortunate . . . if our ancestors only knew how hard we would look for them, they would have recorded their vital records much earlier!) In South Carolina, the date is 1915. This fact made my DAR application just a teeny bit harder . . . looking forward to your further adventures in documentation. Like the reference to Princess Bride!<br /><br />My book blog is at http://mariannregan.authorsxpress.com, and on Twitter I'm @MariannSRegan, just in case you'd like to know ...Mariannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543003593158696611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-27452956532470014342012-11-15T18:03:47.347-08:002012-11-15T18:03:47.347-08:00Oh, I know it!

Added bonus: unless the company who made the headstone <i>also</i> made a mistake, it looks like his name is indeed Mark and not Mack.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-6833916413727358432012-11-15T04:32:27.981-08:002012-11-15T04:32:27.981-08:00Findagrave has a memorial for a Mark H Gordon born...Findagrave has a memorial for a Mark H Gordon born 1879 that appears to be your guy.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.com
