I am also doing research on my family tree. I have known reletives in the NJ area as well as CA and MS.

I am a bit disorganized because I have put the tree on the back burner for a few months but I found family as far back as 1700s in Paris.

If you are interested in my info or have some to share with me please email me. I KNOW for a fact that ALL GIVEANS' (spelled with the e and a together) are related!

Keith,
I don't know about any GIVEANS family in Cal. Only NJ and NY state. However, I am a GIVEANS descendant and I live in Indiana now. John GIVEANS was my great-great-great-great grandfather. His wife was Christina DOUGAN. Their daughter, Elizabeth (Eliza) married John CRABTREE and they were my great-great-great grandparents. Elizabeth had several siblings: Samuel GIVEANS (1799-1880), married Abigail FARBER; Melinda GIVEANS (1797-1820) married Isaac TOMPKINS; Amanda GIVEANS (about 1800-abt. 1852) married Barney HARTLEY; John GIVEANS, Jr. (1806-1866?) married Adelia RYERSON; William D. GIVEANS (1812-1886) married Jane Farber RYERSON; Elizabeth GIVEANS (1814-1881) married John CRABTREE and Abraham K. GIVEANS (1817-1850?) married Sarah Catherine STORMS.

Do you connect?

YES! I connect with Samuel for sure. From my records he was my great grandfather. Like I said, I ran into a dead end a few months back and never really went any further. It's a project I started about 4 years ago and tried on and off to create a family tree but it was so hard to do. I still want to finish and am waiting on a very old aunt on my Father's side (Giveans) to get some info to me.

I am quite sure my great grandfather fought in the Civil War because I remember my father being offered the old sword when his dad died but he gave it to his older brother Chris who lived in CA but was born in Louisiana. He died about the same time my dad did about 15-16 years ago.

I know I have some relitives there and my aunt is suposed to put me in touch with one who will be coming down here (New Orleans) for the holidays.

I will dig up my notes and pass them on to you. You most likely have more records than I do BUT mine might fill in your blanks!

I traced the NICAISE family (great grandmother's side) back to the 1700. I think that Samuel might have had two wives because I keep finding two different wives names with different wedding dates. I'm not sure if it was a divorce or death.

I did get some other records for others but only back as far as avout the early 1800s.

Let's keep in touch!

Mona,

I forgot to let you know that I was born in New Orleans and so was my father Joseph.

I know we have tons of relitives in the Handcock county area of Mississippi that married into the Favre family.

All of my grandparents except one were dead before I was born and my only living Grandmother was very old and sick. I was ony about 20 when my father died and never even asked for this kind of info so now I am having a a hard time of it!

Talk you you soon!

Keith, My father died when I was 11 years of age. His mother died when he was 6 years of age and he was placed in an orphanage in Newark, NJ. I have had to do all the "digging" myself. I am sure now that I know more about my dad's family than he ever knew!

Why not e-mail me directly at: MonaMusic@aol.com

I am also related (Mona and I are distant cousins). I have never been able to figure out why Samuel alone ended up in MS, of the eleven children. Perhaps, as you say, it was because of Civil War service. I have Civil War pension records of a Samuel Givens, but he is a cousin.

I have been fortunate to gather a lot of Giveans info over the years, recently sent a packet to one of your relatives in MS.

Deb,

I'm not sure why. I know I have living Giveans relations in both Mississippi as well as the New York area. Also some in CA.

My best guess is that the women that some Givenas men maried were lifelong residents of MS.

How are you related to the Giveans'? Samuel Joseph Giveans (born 1848) was my great grandfather. John Farber Giveans his father and Samuel Giveans (born 1799) his father.

Thanks,
Keith

My great-grandfather was your Samuel (b. 1848)'s youngest brother, Isadore Victor Giveans (b. 1866). He lived in Sussex County, NJ as did most of the other children. Isadore's daughter Olive was my grandmother (she just died two years ago) and my first genealogy source!

I have very little information on Samuel S. Giveans - my information states he was born 7 Feb 1846 in Sussex County, married 7 Nov 1888 Marie Ameline Necaise (4 Feb 1858 - 17 Nov 1915) Bay St. Louis Hancock Co, MS, died 15 Nov 1915 Bay St. Louis. I have two Sussex County newspaper obituaries for Samuel: one from the Sussex Independent, and one from the Wantage Recorder.

I am just starting researching the Giveans. We are first cousins. I am the oldest child of Joyce Giveans Dawsey. Uncle Joe was her brother. We have probably met over the years. I only have the basic names back to Samuel, born 1799 in NY. I have only heard of one sword. It belonged to Grandmother's brother who fought for the Union. I am in LA also. I was raised in MS. I'm not sure which old aunt you are talking about but most of the ones left are so old and in Pearlington.
