Comment on Talented Tuesday: “Fiddler Charlie” Andrews by Guy Allen Andrews

Greg,

I have asked my brother, Wayne, to see if he can locate the record or a tape of Great grandpa Charlie playing the fiddle. Once it is found, we will have to see about getting it digitized so we can send and play the songs on our new technology.

By the way, My wife and I stopped and stayed in Vandalia, IL for a week. Very special to me to go to Seminary and Evans cemeteries and look around for grave markers. Plus, spend some time at the Fayette County Courthouse looking through records and the Greenville Library in Bond County looking at micro fiche newspapers.

Actually I have seen one, and it is available on Ancestry.com. IF you don’t have access, let me know, and I’ll dig it up for you.

Guy,

Thanks so much for your reply. I think I’ve got you in my tree already, but I’m in Egypt at the moment and don’t have my research handy. I would sure love to hear your great grandfather playing so if you’ve got it in a sharable format, please let me know!

Comment on The Genealogical Proof Standard – Why isn’t this incorporated into my genealogy software? by N. P. Maling

TMG can *support* the Genealogical Proof Standard but it cannot replace the genealogist applying the search, supplying the citations, analyzing and resolving the conflicts and, perhaps more importantly, *writing* the proof argument. There’s no way an ancient application like TMG can go out on the Internet, for instance, and find any data by itself…. There are numerous citation formats and templates you can use for what *you* find. You can arrange the evidence and use various other features to analyze it, but there’s no way TMG can do that analysis for you. It’s all human work with support from a software tool. Computers are only as smart as the people who use them.

Do you by chance have a passenger list from the Santiago de Cuba?

Awesome Guy……….thanks so much for sharing this. My grandpa Garner Andrews and I believe his daddy James Monroe Andrews both played the fiddle. That is really something to see the talent drop down through the generations. My two sons are very musically talented with the drums, and guitar as you know, maybe I need to encourage one of them to pick up the fiddle. Again, thanks for including me with this article.

This is my great-grandfather and my cousin has a few of the medals that was won at fiddling contests. We also have a recording of Charlie playing the fiddle too. It is true that he inspired many of us descendants to play instruments. My uncle Carl Wayne Andrews taught me how to play the guitar and mandolin when I was young and was really anxious to learn to play. I have never seen this picture of him and would love to share this with the rest of my family.
