The local DAR chapter was going to erect a memorial for the centennial. They were to list all the members on the memorial. I had a teenage daughter. A member of the local chapter thought that my daughter should be listed but to do that she needed to be a member of the Children of the American Revolution. This lady (a widow) began to pick me for information. I had none. She was getting on in years and no longer drove her automobile at night. After much goading I agreed to take her to the State Archives, which were located downtown and open on Monday nights. Only took a couple of trips to get hooked. I did everything by hand and snail mail until about 1983 when I acquired a TRS4 Radio Shack computer. Marvelous thing 4 mgh speed. Then the internet arrived and I upgraded. Am still looking for John S. Savage's parents and siblings. Found him this year on 1830 census in Abbeville S.C. ,only been looking for 30 years!! I don't hare another 30 so I guess I'll leave the parents and siblings for someone else. Visit my web site to view the 4700 relatives I have found. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~unger Unger Family genealogy http://personal.ayrix.net/~savage1/ Savage Family genealogy Christmas begins it and Easter completes it
