The Defense message,
from the article appearing in

RICKY BEAUCHAMP
TAX COMMISSIONER
seeks to undermine our
National Security.
In presenting Doctor Ed
wards, Mrs. O’Neal listed his
membership in many and
varying Historical Organiza
tions, and his unique training
and experience particularly
in the field of lineage
research. Dr. Edwards ful
filled every expectation of his
eager, responsive listeners.
His presentation was most
helpful even to an amateur,
in that he shared a prepared
set of forms in order that
each members might follow
his carefully planned instruc
tions as a beginner. He issued
two very definite warnings,
once the first step in
research, that of your own
family is begun, even the
novice becomes a convert.
Secondly, don’t expect the
venture to be completed
without disappointments, the
necessity to back track
records in order to clear
discrepancies in dates, spel
ling of the family name and
specific localities, to ascer
tain certainty with docu
mentary evidence. In listing
many Do’s and Don’ts as
guiding factors, having a
strong reserve of Patience
seemed an outstanding warn
ing, for successful research.
As descendant of prominent
families in this county, the
son of a member of the local
Chapter, the nephew of Mrs.
Robert C. Edwards, Regent,
and his expression of
interest, the William Mc-
Intosh Chapter has hopes
that the Chapter may look
forward to additional visits
from Dr. Edwards and his
mother, Mrs. Florrie H.
Edwards.
