They are Samuel William SCOATES, James Daniels SCOATES, and John Gordon McGILL. In 1963 there were 28 members of the chapter. Today we have seven members. w The chapter was named for Mary Johnston PARKER, known as "Miss Mollie." She was a charter member of the L. S. ROSS Chapter of the UDC. At one time there were 20 post oak trees around the residence, but now only one or two remain. The home is now the residence of Mollie's grand- daughter, Mrs. Kate BERNATH. A ritual of Milton and Miss Mollie's married life was a daily buggy ride at 5 :00 p. m. Their route consisted of the Main Street of Bryan. After Milton's death, she never set foot on Main Street again.

She came to Texas prior to her marriage to Milton PARKER on October 25, 1864. "Miss Mollie" was a charter member,of the L. S. ROSS Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, organized April 6, 1897. Her Confederate ancestor was her father, Private George JOHNSTON. He was a- steamboat captain who ran a steamboat from Cadiz, Ohio, to Galveston, Texas. When the Civil War started he r sold his boats and settled at Caldwell, Texas. Her husband, Milton PARKER, was also a Confederate veteran. Mollie PARKER attended Baylor University at Old Washington -on- the - Brazos. At the age of 20 Mary JOHNSTON and Milton PARKER were married. There are two stories of their meeting. One story relates that they met in Galveston where her father was a steamboat captain. Other sources say they met on the steps of the courthouse in Caldwell. Children born to this union were: 1. Frances B. PARKER - -died in infancy, 1865. (People say that this was the first 2. George Samuel PARKER grave in the Bryan City Cemetary). John K. PARKER Milton Bell PARKER 5. Mary W. PARKER 6. Winifred L. PARKER 7. Frances E. PARKER � 8. Kate B. PARKER _ The following children were raised by the PARKERS: 1. Beatrice Parker GORDON 2. John Milton GORDON 3. John Parker CHANCE 4. James Otis CHANCE 5• Alec CHANCE The family resided first on 28th Street and finally at 200 South Congress. The last residence became known as "The Oaks" in later years when Milton Bell PARKER•s wife, Margaret "Maggie" McDOUGAL, made it a social center for parties and receptions. Mrs. Lee J. ROUNTREE, writer for the Bryan Daily Eagle, christened the residence, The OAKS. Special thanks to those who have helped me to gather information. Kate BERNA Ruth McGILL Patti CADDESS Mary ASHWORTH I would like to acknowledge the contributor of the above article in a later issue of the Advertiser.I do not know who gave us this fine information. Can you help? In the records of the Bryan City Cemetary, there is a stone: Fannie Belle PARKER July 5, 1862 Dau. of M. and M. J. PARKER 1 yr. 9 Mo. 23 D. We are not sure this is the oldest stone recorded. Naomi McCormick 45 PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE -------------- EDITORIAL --- __---------- _________r_ We are now 1/3 of the way through the 1988 year. At our regular meetings we have had excellent attendance and very good programs, we have just com- pleted an excellent workshop at the TAMU Library, and we have temporarily re- staffed the "Advertiser ". The progress report on publishing the Brazos County Cemetery Records is not so good. Some of the workers suggest- ed that we should wait until after income tax time to reorganize a new push to get the information "camera - ready". I will work with Joy BROWN to set up a meeting of the Publishing Committee #1 to plan the work for the summer and fal i . Some of our members who have worked so hard, for so long, on the Cemetery project, have suggested that they are feeling symptoms of "burn- out ". I am sure this is true, and the Executive Committee and Publication Committee #1 must find a way to get things mov- ing again. The response to my letter asking for suggestions for staffing the Publica- tion Committee #2 was a little short, but we still have some time, because this committee can't begin work until we have a realistic date for "camera - ready" copy. We are pleased to announce that both Maxine MILLER and Dwight CHAFFIN now have joined the "Advertiser" staff, the former as Cemeteries Editor, and the latter as Computer Specialist. Of course, all five of the staff are working very hard to make up for the lost month and get this issue to you on schedule May 16. By now, you know whether we met our promise! An important function that the "Ad- vertiser" can help carry out is that of finding sources of data on your favorite "unknown" persona that is, an ancestor or relative you need to learn more about, but don't yet know where to look. We can help through the use of the "Query ". A "Queries" section is a vital part of any gene- alogical monthly or quarterly such as ours. The point of these remarks is that we are finding that it is a bit like the traditional "pulling of teeth" to elicit enough Queries even to fill one page. Those that we did succeed in collecting for this issue begin on page 72. Members, please do let us have Queries! You can hand them or m a i l them to any of the f i v e Advertiser Staff members, or you can mail them to our P.O. Box 5493, Bry- an, TX 77805. No Query too large, no Query too small: Janis HUNT and her committee continue to work on programs for the remainder of the year. If you have suggestions or can assist in presenting a program please contact Janis. Mary BELL will begin work on a fall workshop. Also, the Christmas Social must be planned. Our special thanks to Harry PQRTZER and his crew for continuing publish- ing the "Advertiser ". We are still recruiting for several new staff mem- bers, including an editor. L. A.

Genealogical research in this part of Europe could be a little frustrating for the novice researcher since the Alsace - Lorraine region has been governed numerous times by either the French or German governments, Alsace came under French rule in 1648 and Lorraine in 1766. In 1871, when Bismarck and his troops beat Napoleon ii1, the three departments of Bas -Rhin, Haut-Rhin, and Moselle were taken by Germany. After much protesting, the western part of the Haut -Rhin became the Territory of Belfort, but after World War I the three departments were returned to France. They were again in Germany between 1939 and 1945, but since then they have been in France, If an ancestor came to the United States between 1840 and 1870, it is usually easy to determine whether or not he was born in Alsace-Lorraine (Elsass- Lothringen in German). The U.S. censuses of 1850, 1860, or 1370 may say that he was born in France, Alsace or Lorraine. Then if the 1880, 1900 or 1910 census says he was born in Germany, he must have been born in the French departments of Bas -Rhin, Haut- Rhin, or Moselle, which were in France before 1871, but in Germany from then until 1918. The Genealogical Society, Salt Lake City has microfilmed numerous reference sources regarding this area. A few are listed below. The Alsace Errrlgratlon Index covers the years, 1817 -1866, and is particularly helpful. It contains microfilmed passport records of Bas- Rihn(1817 -1840) and Haut -Rhin (1837 - 1857), The film numbers are 1,125,002 surnames (A -C); 1,125, 003 surnames (D-G); 1,125,004 (H -K); 1,125,005 (L -P); 1,125,006 (0 -5); and 1,125,007 (T -Z). I f you find ref erence to your ancestor, record his birthplace, age and date of emigration. Then look for his birth or baptism record on microfilm. If this record has the known date and parentage, you can be sure you have found the known birthplace of your immigrant ancestor. If you have not found this information than copy the names of town when his surname appears, Some of these towns may be in the Territory of Belfort. Then look for his birth or baptism record in the microfilmed records of the towns listed. He may have been born in one of them and obtained a ° passport in another department, or he may have emigrated in a year not covered by the Index, If the Index does not yield the information you are seeking, then perhaps the Options of Alsatians and Lorrainorswlll, Some persons in Alsace - Lorraine thought that after the Germans had begun their rule in 1871 that they were voting for French rule by submitting their name, birthplace, and birthdate. Others actually emigrated and gave this information, Persons born in Alsace - Lorraine, but living in France, also had to register. These are on microfilm numbers 787,154 to 787, 166 in many alphabetical lists, The last film contains names, birthdates, birthplaces, and destinations of many persons who emigrated to the USA in 1871 or 1872, 55 Researchers seeking their German ancestors in the Bas Rhin of France should examine the Etats nominatives des refugees allemands arrives Bans 16' Bas Rhln, 1848 -1850 (List of Germans who arrived in Bas -Rhin after the Revolution of 1848, especially from Baden). A similar record is Refugies allemands, dossiers Ind;viduelles (Individual files of German refugees), in microfilms, 1,071,441 to 1,071,451.

M THE GIDDINGS -CLARK ELECTION CONTEST Compiled. by Bill PAGE and Lori Rute FORTNER The Reconstruction Era in Texas was a period of heated politi- cal contests. In 1871 -1872 a battle was fought over who would represent the Third Con- gressional District in Texas. This District included Brazos County. The two candidates for office were William T. CLARK, a Radical Republican, and D. C. GIDDINGS, a Democrat. GIDDINGS won the election by a clear majority. However, the Republican Governor of Texas, E.J. DAVIS, rejected the bal- lots from several counties in which GIDDINGS had the majority, and declared CLARK the winner of the election. lisped Brazos County History. The following information is abstracted from the testimony taken in Brazos County by the investigators. Abstracts from House Miscel- laneous Document 163 (42 -2) 1526, third Congressional Dis- trict of Texas (1872). Government Documents, serial set #1525 PREWETT, A.G., candidate for Justice of the Peace, Precinct #1, mentioned in testimony of H.T. DOWNARD ... p66 The Republicans claimed that voting fraud occurred and that blacks were intimidated from voting for the candidates of their choice. GIDDINGS protested Governor DAVIS' ac- tions and appealed to Congress to declare him the winner. GIDDINGS' forces took testimony in the various counties where the votes had been disallowed, including Brazos County, and presented it as evidence that the charges made by the Republicans were false. CLARK took no testimony to support his allegations, apparently confident that the Republican controlled Congress would sup- port him no matter what tes- timony GIDDINGS presented. CLARK was wrong. Congress found in favor of GIDDINGS, and he took his seat in Congress on May 13, 1872.

S. Census records did not give individual birth years, but only grouped individuals by age ranges. However, as the article reprinted here shows, the existing data can reveal quite a bit and enable a close ap- proximation to be reached. USING CENSUS TO ESTABLIS<i BIRTH DATES Can you figure out when a person.was born by going through census reoozds? The answer is that you can narrow it down to a certain number°of years, such as 1774 - Begin with the 1790 census go through the 1830 one, then "decipher" what you've founds .. 1790 census under age 16 b. 1 774 - 1790 16 year time span 1800 census aga 1b -25 ' b..1774-1784 . 10 year . time span 1810 census age'26 -45 b. 1765 -1784 �19 year time span 1820 census age 45 & over b. 1775. before 1830 census age 50 -60 b. 17 - 1780 (10 year ti span) By the 1790 census he could not have been born before 1774. 'By the 1830 census he could not have been born after 1780. You now have a set of POSSIBLE; birth years for your-ancestors to 1780. But let's see if we can narrow it down further: You already know that his first child was born in 1799 That he married ca. 1798. The one thing you don't know is how old he was when he marrieds the usual standard used in research is four generations to a hundred years, and that means marriage at age 25 for the men. To;play it on the safe side 3: always figure two dates, marriage - at age 20 and marri.a.ge" at age 25- -that, way you get another set of dates to-work. from.' Here you have a man who married about 1 798. Deduct 25 (his age) and come up with the year 1773. Now deduct his age at. 20 and you have 1778. So.he ias born between the years 1773 and 1778, using this method. Now referring to the set of birth years derived from the census records you see two things: He couldn't have been born before 1774 (1790 census) nor was he born after 1775 (1820'census). You now have a NEW set of possible birth °years for your ancestor -- 1774 -1775- -AND you have narrowed the time span down to two years.. It is much easier to search a two -year supply of vital records than a 16 -year one. - -taken from Southern Echoes, Augusta Genealogical Society as'printed in Tri -State Trader, 28 Oct. 1985, via The Genealogical Society of Stanislaus County, California Inc. newsletter Vol. 6 #11.

Next, plate him or her along the other heavy black line. Now, each of you follow a path through the diamond- shaped blocks along a downward diagonal. In the block where you • intersect, read the relationship. For example, 3C = third cousin, while 2R = twice removed.

By 1816 some images were made, but none were of good quality until le27. 'When Louis Daguerre announced his 1839 DAGUERREOTYPE in 1839, worldwide response was immediate and 1840 by 1840 the first portrait studio was opened in New 'iork. 1850 Daguerreotypes were popular until around the 1850's and were 1 still common in the 1860 After Daguerreotypes care AI?BP.OTYPES. The Ambrotype was much simpler and less expensive. There were two types of �brotypes. They both used an enamel or varnish coating on a hard flat or slightly rounded smooth surface. The first were made on glass. This made a more permanent form of image but would still break. The second form of Ambrotype was the 1855 TINTYPE. Both t,. *pes of Ambrot,,rpe photos were very dar: {, usually gray or chocolate brown in color. Tintypes are actually a flat sheet of iron or tin plated steel and are au -te common among old photos. Tint,,Tpes were the first "instant".-photographs. 'Nang photo studios were set up and photos were finished "while you wait." -Ian -V tintypes have - "active" settings and people are many tines seen in common clothes. Before this Lorm of photo most all pictures seen were rather formal. Tint -rpes were used in the United States into the 1930's and are still made in South America and less advanced areas of the world. 1854 With the advent of paper backed photos came quite a bit of competition among traveling photographers. This era found people buying prints of the homestead and many fancy portraits. The use of ovals and other dressy masks were very common. 1855 VISITING CARDS (Cartes da Visite) were photos, mostly small, used as visiting cards, greeting cards and as business intro- ductions. Thev were first used in Europe by the aristocracy. 1900 Thev were ver-T common in the United States in the 1900's through the 1930's. (Most card- t-.rpe photos made in the United States were in the form of post cards, with half of one side for address, half for a message, and the photo on the front of the card. 75 a e/tt Carl Wilson LA NDISS Name of Compiler Person No. 1 on this chart is the same Chart No. _7 803 Dexter Drive person as No —on chart No, a 16 William LANDISS b, ca. �F,,her of N0. e, RA Address �.6 April 1827, c ( ° =awi rcY L'd- College Station, Texas City, State 8 John "Crat" LANDISS Ind. _ 0 14V (FamerofNO +) 1850 T <:mle, IN Date _ b, ca. 1837 1 Alizabeth KINCAID p.b.
