R/RFHA Newsletter, March 1998                                            P.2

Received a marvelous Pedigree Chart from subscriber DICK ROLLINS of Durango, Colorado. In a small square underneath each name he had a ,small photograph of the person named. What a great idea! It takes a little work but certainly gives meaning to names

And while we're giving out kudos we might mention that one of our recent subscribers, MICHAEL RAWLINGS, an amateur genealogist as he describes himself, can provide assistance for those researching Virginia RAWLIN(G)S/ROLLIN(G)S. He has a degree from William and Mary. College in Colonial and Early American Studies, and has done genealogy in Virginia and the Carolinas for two decades. His family of RAWLINS has been in Tidewater, VA since the mid-1600's. His address is: P.O.Box 37, Spring Grove, VA 23881

CORRECTIONS

On P.50 of the December issue Corinne Lawson informs us there is an error in the info from Ricky Mobley for the THOMAS RAWLINGS family. The family lived and

died in Independence Co., Arkansas, not in Indiana County.

****

On P.58 of the December issue the birthdate of AARON MADISON RAWLINS should be 1812. My error.

One again we have Halbert's Putting out a supposed history of your family. It has always been RAWLINGS or RAWLINS before, but now they are writing to those whose surname is ROLLINS. At least this time they make a note of caution: NO DIRECT GENEALOGICAL CONNECTION TO YOUR FAMILY OR TO YOUR Ate IS IMPLIED OR DEEMED. Thanx to Aristotle ROLLINS, one of our subscribers, we heard of this. Take care.

Subscriber Byrd. Tribble has sent me a wonderful history and description of ELLANGOWAN, the original home of the Spotsylvania County, VA RAWLINS. It includes a map of the area, photographs of the old home, 200 years old, before it burned down. The current owners are .kind enough to allow persons to walk lot. Anyone descending from that line who would like a copy of this information, just write to us.
