'Time to allow someone else to lead': Lamar County Superintendent Tess Smith resigns
Cam Bonelli
Hattiesburg American
Lamar County School District Superintendent Tess Smith submitted a letter of resignation to the Lamar County School Board at a special meeting Wednesday.
"I've always prayed for guidance regarding the time for me to leave the LCSD," Smith said in a statement. "I've loved and supported this district for over 40 years if you include my time as a student. After serving it for over 28 years, over six as superintendent, it's time to allow someone else to lead."
Her resignation was accepted by the board Wednesday. The board reassigned her role to transition adviser to the new superintendent with the same rate of pay until her retirement in October.

Steven Hampton, Lamar County School District assistant superintendent, was appointed superintendent with a contract ending June 30, 2023. The board set his salary at $160,000 and his contract terms are the same as Smith's.
Hampton has served as an educator for over 22 years as a classroom teacher, career and technical center director, assistant principal, high school principal and central office administrator.
"We welcome Superintendent Hampton to this new appointment and look forward to continued success in all facets of our district," the board said in a statement.
Smith's retirement comes one week after students at Oak Grove High School walked out over what they perceived as lax enforcement of COVID-19 procedures and an alleged racially charged incident.

Of her departure, Smith said that leaders should be fresh and effective.
"I fear my expiration date on both have passed," Smith said in a statement. "No one person is at fault other than myself. I've let this job overtake my life and affect my health. It's time that I step back and refocus on faith and family."
(Story continues after photo gallery.)
Smith was elected in November 2014 as superintendent after being appointed as interim superintendent after Ben Burnett's resignation to become dean of the School of Education at William Carey University. During her time as superintendent, Lamar County Schools consistently received an "A" grade and was ranked among the top 10 school districts in the state by the Mississippi Department of Education.
The Lamar County School Board, in a statement issued Wednesday, thanked Smith for her service.
"We will miss her many years of dedication to the district as a student, teacher, counselor, school administrator and superintendent," the statement said. "She has done a tremendous job in all these roles."

Three months ago, two good friends of mine got married in Durham.
Leonardo and Lucía did their PhD's at Duke together. Now, he lives in Richmond, VA while she lives near Charlotte, NC. Both of them luckily got an academic job but a bit far away from each other (aprox. a five-hour drive.) The way they deal with distance is by visiting each other or spending a weekend in Durham (which is fortunately in the precise middle of the distance between Richmond and Charlotte) from time to time.
When they told me that they were getting married, they asked me to be their wedding photographer as well. Wedding photography is different from I would consider "my style." I love saturated colors, strong contrast, as much natural light as possible… while wedding photography usually has soft colors and textures, a very low contrast, and special flashes are often used to soften shadows on people's faces. It was a challenge for me! But well, I was so honored that I couldn't say no.
Before the ceremony, we had a pre-wedding photo shoot. We wandered around Durham's downtown to find significant locations for their relationship like the intersection of Main St., Morris St., and East Chapel Hill St.
It was a cold day, so Lucía and Leonardo were freezing. She had thankfully brought a raincoat but he hadn't, so the bride literally became the groom's shelter.
The wedding was full of sweet moments that I was able to capture with my camera. For example, Lucía adjusted Leonardo's tie before the ceremony started.
And then, Leonardo spontaneously kissed Lucía's hand before they exchanged vows.

Nowicki Documents
Dr. Marvin Nowicki was the US Navy supervisor on the EC-121 aircraft who heard the actual Israel Air Force radio transmissions, in Hebrew, on 8 June 1967 and thereafter listened to the tapes in Hebrew (Nowicki was an NSA/Navy trained Hebrew linguist). Nowicki sent an e-mail to James Bamford with five enclosures on 20 March 2000.
Bamford claims the Nowicki letter told him that the tapes establish that the Israelis knew they were attacking a US ship. Read the Nowicki e-mail and decide if you agree with Bamford's interpretation. Dr. Nowicki did not agree with Bamford's interpretation. He wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal, summarized below, in which he explicitly stated the tapes proved the attack was made in error.

July 1, 2009 – Gold and silver bullion prices are rebounding today, further expanding their quarterly increases as physical buyers from around the globe are turning to both metals as their ultimate hedge from the current vulnerabilities with dollar-backed assets, especially after the latest economic data that shows growing inflation and dangerously high unemployment levels. Within the past two years, the United States Government has overprinted trillions of dollars in order to keep vital companies afloat, pay billions of dollars in toxic debt and sustain confidence in the American stock market. Several market analysts and economists are saying that the long-term effects of these overprinting and quantitative easing measures will result in a period of high inflation, signalling that the United States Dollar could undergo further devaluing down the road. Fortunately, history has proven that gold and silver bullion prices trade inversely to dollar values, which basically means that if the fiat currency continues to face problems in the future, we could see spot prices continuing to increase as a result of higher safe haven demand from investors looking to protect their hard-earned wealth.
By around 3:45 PM Eastern Standard Time, gold and silver bullion prices are increasing on the New York Mercantile Exchange as safe haven demand in the United States is climbing slowly but surely, and currently gold is trading at $940.10 per ounce while silver is trading at $13.72 per ounce. The latest market projections are forecasting that both metals may continue climbing in the short-term if the United States Dollar continues to face speculation about inflation and further devaluing.

'90 Day Fiance' star Jihoon Lee denies he abused Deavan Clegg's daughter Drascilla
90 Day Fiance star Jihoon Lee has denied Deavan Clegg's suggestions he abused her daughter Drascilla, which she has implied was one of the major reasons why the couple split.
Jihoon posted a long rant Monday night on his Instagram Stories in response to allegations he abused Drascilla, Deavan's five-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, while the 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way couple was living in South Korea with Drascilla and Taeyang, their toddler son.

"Hello all, To everyone who has been witnessing the past few months of [Deavan] and mines relationship.. I have not been the one to put this out on social media because I believe strongly to not cause drama online. However, now with the accusations and lies swarming around, I must defend myself so that my son sees the truth one day," Jihoon began his rant, which went on for 13 posts.
As part of Jihoon telling his side of the story, he wholeheartedly denied ever abusing Drascilla, whom Deavan has previously described as "a wild child."
"Deavan wanted her daughter to be my daughter, Taeyang is my son. She said this to me. She wanted me to be a father to Drascilla. I accepted and when I tried to show Drascilla right from wrong, or even disciplining, both [Deavan] and Drascilla rejected the growing pains," Jihoon wrote.
"Deavan did not accept my type of discipline or helping her child become an amazing young girl. Here is a prime example: Drascilla was enrolled into an English academy in Korea. I would get calls from the director that Drascilla was hitting, spitting, screaming, and pulling other kids' hair and the teachers."
Jihoon claimed that, given he'd been asked to fulfill a parental role with Drascilla, he took it upon himself to try to address her behavior at the school she was attending.
"So I would come down to the school and try to talk to her the best I could. She wouldn't listen. She would continue with the same tactics, even after I would show her what she was doing was wrong," Jihoon explained.
"When she was pulling other children's hair and making them cry, I tugged on her hair, and asked, 'If I pull on your hair, does it hurt? You don't want to hurt your friends or the other kids.' And that still didn't work in her understanding."
RELATED LINK: 'MARRIED AT FIRST SIGHT' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO BROKE UP? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS)
Deavan apparently didn't agree with Jihoon's parenting techniques and it caused some major issues between the former couple.
"How could I be a father to a child who she had called me dad in Korean, but when I tried to be a father, Deavan said I was in the wrong and hurt her child? (I have a written statement from the school in regards to these incidents of Drascilla being this way)," Jihoon continued.

See which 90 Day Fiance couples are still together, and who has split and broken up! (PHOTO GALLERY)
Jihoon insisted he tried to co-parent Drascilla and his infant son Taeyang to the best of his ability. Jihoon, in fact, said "it's a lie" when Deavan claims he had refused to help her with the kids.
Deavan confirmed last week she has filed for divorce from Jihoon but he has yet to sign the papers, although Jihoon claimed earlier this month "there's no divorce on paper right now."
On their breakup, Jihoon said about a month after Deavan left him and returned to the United States, she accused him of abusing Drascilla and "demanded a breakup."
One month after that, Jihoon said, "Another man was imitating Taeyang's father. Deavan made claims saying that Drascilla told Deavan that I had been abusing Drascilla. Drascilla told the truth that there was nothing to be said later on.. and Deavan was still going for the separation without confirming it with me."
"She did it through social media after she found her new boyfriend," added Jihoon, who confirmed his relationship with Deavan was over and she had moved on with a new man in late August.
Deavan's new boyfriend is Christopher "Topher" Park, a Korean-American actor who was born in Los Angeles, CA.
RELATED LINK: '90 DAY FIANCE: BEFORE THE 90 DAYS' COUPLES NOW: WHO IS STILL TOGETHER? WHO HAS SPLIT? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS)
Deavan and Topher went Instagram official on September 12 following weeks of Deavan teasing she's in a new relationship by posting photos of a man on her Instagram with his head cropped out.
Deavan then admitted she's totally smitten with Topher on Instagram on September 16 by posting a video of the couple cuddled up next to each other on a couch with their foreheads touching.
In regards to rumored allegations Jihoon's parents had also abused Drascilla, Jihoon also wrote, "It's a lie. There are not circumstances, evidence or reasons for that. It's social media and the world making up falsehoods."
Jihoon went on to slam Deavan by saying, "But is it okay to walk around outside without wearing masks on children in America? Is it okay to force children on rides for their couple videos when they cry and don't like it, but continue to do it anyways? This is what is shown on their YouTube channel."
Jihoon later added, "She's lying about my parents abusing her. Drascilla, she yelled at my mother. Because they couldn't communicate at all. My father spoke a little English. It's fine. So my mother got angry and yelled at her. That's abusive?"
Deavan previously made it clear she has no future with Jihoon because he allegedly did something "evil" that "can never be forgiven." It now appears Deavan may have been referring to Jihoon allegedly abusing Drascilla.
Deavan had accused Jihoon of wanting "nothing to do" with their son Taeyang, deleting their family from his memory, calling her "degrading" and "vile names," and putting herself, Taeyang and Drascilla in "danger." (Jihoon denied those claims).
RELATED LINK: 'BIG BROTHER' SHOWMANCES NOW: WHO'S STILL TOGETHER? WHICH COUPLES HAVE SPLIT UP? WHERE ARE THEY NOW? (PHOTOS)
Deavan wrote on Twitter in August that she had "moved back" to America for a "horrible reason" and Jihoon had done "the most vile thing possible" that made her want to return to the United States.
Deavan had initially repeatedly teased fans must "wait 'till the Tell-All" to find out the awful things Jihoon had allegedly done to her and her kids.
However, that all changed last week when Deavan suddenly announced on her Instagram Stories that she and Jihoon will not be appearing on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way's second-season Tell-All when it airs this later fall.
"We will not be attending the Tell All," Deavan reportedly wrote of the cast reunion.
"TLC is aware of what happened to my daughter and has been for months their reason being 'we don't want to have to put your family through that and be around him' so I'll leave it at that."
Deavan, however, reportedly insisted her side of the story -- the "truth," she says -- will be released in the near future.
"I am a little upset I will not be able to tell my side due to the fact they knew what was happening and I sat here pretending it was okay online for them so I wouldn't be breaking my contracts. So the truth of my story will come out in time," Deavan reportedly noted.

Season 2 of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way on TLC featured Deavan in a "flash forward" segment waiting out the coronavirus pandemic while living in a high-rise apartment building in South Korea.
The footage filmed earlier this year, seemingly around February or March, and was seemingly originally intended for TLC's 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined spinoff, which aired on TLC this past spring.
But speculation began to swirl that Deavan and Jihoon's relationship was over when she reportedly returned to the United States with her children, Taeyang and Drascilla, in May.
Deavan's mother Elicia revealed on social media in late July that Deavan was just visiting America with her two kids and got "stuck" in Utah due to COVID-19 while Jihoon remained in South Korea.
"She is visiting here, but the travel restrictions have forced her to be here longer," Elicia reportedly wrote, adding, "[Deavan and Drascilla] are stuck here until travel restrictions are lessened because of the virus."
But it now appears Deavan and Jihoon were already broken up by then and Elicia felt the need to come up with a cover story in order to avoid 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way spoilers about the current status of her daughter's relationship.
Deavan also vented on her Instagram Stories in August about how 90 Day Fiance viewers know very little about her struggles in 2020, suggesting her relationship with Jihoon had been on the rocks for months prior to their split.
"If you guys only knew the disgusting things that happened this year off camera," Deavan wrote.
"If you knew everything going on in this very moment. Knew what I'm doing and going through, the scars that happen this year. Enjoy the show. #90dayfiance."
Prior to the mid-season finale of 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way, Deavan was shown repeatedly forgiving Jihoon for his mistakes and trying to make a life work with him in South Korea.
Not only did Jihoon lie to Deavan about having a lot of money saved for his family, but he was also dishonest about working a full-time, high-paying job.
Jihoon's lack of parenting skills with Drascilla and Taeyang only added to the couple's issues, but he kept promising to become a better husband and father.
Deavan therefore decided to give Jihoon a second chance under the expectation he would find a permanent apartment for them to live, make and save money, and better support and provide for his family.
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way will return to TLC on Sunday, October 11.

Leah Sharibu has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to have pity on her and set her free from captivity.
Miss Sharibu, who made audio call in Hausa language, is the only Christian among the abducted 119 students of Government Girls Secondary School, Dapchi, Yobe State kidnapped seven months ago.
To confirm she was still alive amid fears of her death, a major online newspaper, The Cable obtained her latest picture and the audio where she made the plea for her freedom.
Her father, Nathaniel Sharibu, also spoke to Arise TV and called on the federal government to intensify efforts to free her daughter.
Leah's father told Arise TV that he was confident that if the federal government intensifies efforts his daughter would be released.
He said neither government nor anyone else has contacted him or any other member of the family on any plan to release her daughter from captivity.
Sharibu who thanked all those that have supported his family and campaigned for Leah's release, also called on Nigerians to continue to mount pressure on the government so that his daughter would be released.
"We appeal to the federal government to intensify effort to release our girl for us. We appeal to the whole nation to mount pressure on them to release her for us.
"Nothing is being done that I know of. I don't know of any plan to release her. What I know is what I get from the media. Nobody has contacted me concerning her release.
"We feel very, very said about her continued detention. We don't know what to do and we are pained about her captivity. I feel very grateful on the efforts Nigerians are making to see she is released," Mr. Sharibu said.
The girls were captured by the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), a breakaway faction of Boko Haram.
She has been kept in captivity for seven months, sparking public outrage, but the federal government said she is making efforts to get her freed.
In the picture made available to The Cable, Leah was clad in hijab, sewn from a light brown material and seated alone on a mat patterned in pink.
According to reports, the confirmation that she is still alive might be an indication for renewal of negotiation for her release.
Recently, the release of the girls sparked a controversy when the UN said a heavy ransom was paid but the Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed, insisted that no dime was given to the insurgents in exchange for the release of the girls.
Meanwhile, the presidency late yesterday said the Department of State Services (DSS) was analysing the audio recording by Leah Sharibu circulated by an online medium, appealing to President Buhari to pity her.
In reaction to the audio tape, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, on his Twitter handle, @Garshehu, said the "secret service" had begun to analyse the audio tape.
According to Shehu, the president would ensure that all the girls yet in Boko Haram captivity are freed, disclosing that formal reaction would follow the outcome of the analysis.
"We are aware of the audio in circulation concerning the unfortunate situation of our daughter, Leah Sharibu.
"In dealing with terrorists, nothing is too trivial. The secret service is analysing the voice.


On Monday, the Girl Scouts of the USA launched an online shopping platform so girls, with parent permission, can sell cookies via personalized websites or a new mobile app. This will be great for family and friends who don't live by the cookie seller—although you order the cookies online they'll be delivered to your door. Each Girl Scout council had to choose one of the platforms—either the app or the web—but can't use both. The websites are only accessible by an email invitation (and only show the girl's first name) so be contact your favorite Scout to get on her list early :-).
Yesterday Amazon unveiled its own brand of ethically-sourced home goods (probably competing against Jessica Alba's Honest Company) called Elements. The first products are diapers and baby wipes and they each have a QR code on the box that will give all the info about what's in them ("transparent origins"). From what I gather, this is probably the first of many introductions and these products are exclusively available to Prime Members. Of course, Amazon would be happy to have you put on a subscription schedule just to make your life easier. It'll be interesting to see what happens as they roll out more products. We'll see if they off anything that will trim my Trader Joe's shopping list.
Google has finally figured out a better way to tell if you're an automated spambot other than asking you to retype distorted text. Now, all it takes in one click in a checkbox that says, "I'm not a robot." The new "reCaptcha" uses your IP addresses and cookie history to figure out whether you're a human. In fact, Google's new reCaptcha even takes into account how the mouse hovers and moves towards the box—we humans do that in a unique way, apparently. In total, all of the little IP clues and mouse movements tell Google you're actually real. Of course, in cases where it thinks you might be, you'll still have to type in the messed-up text just like you used to. Wired has more details.
This week Sony admitted they were hacked…and not just a little. Personal information and social security numbers of more than 47,000 current and former employees were leaked—including from big stars like Sylvester Stallone, Judd Apatow and Rebel Wilson. The hackers also deleted files from hard drives and released some yet-to-be-released movies onto the Internet. Some reports link North Korea to the breach, but that hasn't been confirmed. While it's easy to feel badly for Sony, at the same time, reports also came out this week that their IT department "hid" their most important passwords in a file labeled "Passwords" [forehead slap, am I right?].
Although I missed the rumors, apparently there has been some quiet buzz about this possibility for a while. Now, Google has confirmed that it they are, in fact, going to be launching kid-friendly versions of its services for kids in 2015. No word yet about which platforms will get changed, but it's probably a safe bet that it'll be popular things like YouTube. As Engadget points out, if it works, "they could help establish a 'kids internet' where parents can feel safer about the apps and sites that their little ones use." Amen to that.
No really, it's true. Psy, the Korean pop music star, and his video for Gangnam Style is still being watched…a lot, apparently. YouTube posted on G+ on Monday that they "…never thought a video would be watched in numbers greater than a 32-bit integer (=2,147,483,647 views)." Now the counter has been updated and, last I checked, it has 2,158,396,584 views.
Forget combing your local thrift shops for an appropriately hideous sweater to wear for your next "ugly sweater party." Now you can just rent one! Rent the Runway now has a lovely collection of terrible sweaters you can rent for $15. The selection is rather limited but man, what they do have really are ugly!

Using Note Apps for Genealogy – follow up
17 May, 2017 Ancestry, Generalancestry, app, family tree, genealogy, Google, google sheets, note, onenote, organise, research, spreadsheetafamilyhistoryblog
In March I wrote about using note apps for genealogy, and how I was planning to use OneNote to organise my genealogy in preparation for a trip to Scotland where I plan to do some research. I've been quiet here on AFamilyHistoryBlog over the last couple of months largely because I've been trying to organise my notes, etc, ready for this trip.
Well I haven't gotten on with OneNote as quickly as I had hoped! I began by creating a few notes about people in my family tree, starting with the earliest known members of my Walker family line, and their relatives, which worked OK. But when it came to creating a "Genealogy Index" (as suggested in the various examples of using note apps for genealogy that I had read about), I found that OneNote struggled to cope with things like copying large spreadsheet indexes of ancestors into it!!!
Alongside OneNote, I had started a spreadsheet (initially in Excel) of my known ancestry, at first to help me work out the Dollarhide reference system (with some tweaks of my own to that system). This spreadsheet has expanded to include details of persons; dates, places, note of sources, etc. After a while I copied the spreadsheet into Google Sheets, which I can save/access on a smartphone/tablet so that I can access it while on my travels. Having done that, I've continued to work on the spreadsheet in Google Sheets, and its working very well.
The spreadsheet has let me see clearly where the most recent gaps in my ancestry begin to occur, which prompted me to have a look into some of these, to see if I could fill any of them! Several of these gaps are parts on my family tree which I have not actively looked into before. I soon found clear details, that were new to me, about several lines of my ancestry, which take me back another 2 – 4 generations in those lines. I have already updated the CADZOW tree on the site, with my finds in that branch of the family, and posted some comments onto my Facebook feed. Other parts of my ancestry still need to be updated on the website!
The spreadsheet has also allowed me to analyse how many ancestors I know in each generation and the date-range of each generation (which is something that I've thought of trying to do for a while). So below is the present (May 2017) snapshot of what I know about my ancestry.
This shows the number of ancestors in each generation that I have forenames for. I don't necessarily have women's maiden names, or dates of birth/death for the oldest generations in any line. Numbers in brackets "(? x)" represent a total which includes possible ancestors that I'm not yet certain of! And "x / x" represents the number of individuals / and the number of places in my ancestry that they occupy (i.e. where cousins married, therefore their grandparents each occupy two places in the ancestry. So "2 / 4" = two grandparents, occupying 4 places in the ancestry, the effect of which doubles each generation further back you go).

Another thing that I've begun to try and do with Google, and the help of the Google Sheets, is to map where my ancestors come from. I've created a Google Map, on which I've started placing markers for the place of birth of each ancestor (where I know it). Its a good way to visualise where my ancestry is from. Due to my forthcoming trip to Scotland, I've begun by focusing on the Scottish branches of my family, and to show an example below, this is what I get for the WALKER and CADZOW sides of my family (my paternal Grandfather's ancestors); very concentrated in and around West Lothian.
Last week I took up an offer of 1 month's subscription to Find My Past – for £1 (the usual monthly subscription is about £10.). Once subscribed, I made sure to disable the"auto-renewal" on the site , and I'll double check this before the month expires – because I don't want to be charged £10 every month hereafter!
I thought that the Find My Past subscription might come in useful while on my forthcoming Scotland trip. Then having subscribed, I decided to blitz trying to find all the census records that I can for my ancestors. So this is what I've spent much of last week doing.
Here the Google Sheets came in useful again. On sheet 2, where I've listed all my ancestors in Dollarhide number order, with separate columns for birth, death, and marriage details, notes, and source details, I added columns for each available UK census date. Then against each ancestors I coloured in the relevant cells to indicate which census dates I might find them recorded in. This made it easy to see who to look for and when. I began searching for the census records on Find My Past, working down the Dollarhide list, beginning with one grandfather who was born before 1911.
As I worked my way down the list I found a lot of records, some of which added new details about people, and in one or two cases added new people to my ancestors. I downloaded all the scanned images that I could, and copied transcription texts into word DOCs which I saved on my computer. In the spreadsheet I changed the colour of the relevant cells to indicate where I'd found records, and noted whether I had found images, transcriptions, or both.
There are still gaps where I've not found the records. But I've now got a good spread of census records, which I'm pleased with. So with that I'm going to have a lot of things to update on my family tree pages on AFamilyHistoryBlog .
The STORRS family of Sutton cum Lonud and Chesterfield
21 February, 2017 FRY1557, 1588, ancestry, Charles Storrs, Chesterfield, College of Arms, Cordall Storrs, Derbyshire, family, family history, family tree, Fry, genealogy, Henry Frost, John Fry, John Sykes, Joseph Fry, Joseph Storrs, Katharine Frost, Lound, Manor of Leeds, Martha Storrs, Mary Storrs, Nottinghamshire, quaker, Richard Fry, Robert Storrs, Samuel Storrs, Society of Friends, Storrs, Sutton, Sutton cum Lound, Sykes, Thomas Storrs, will, William Storrs, yeomanafamilyhistoryblog
After reading about the WIGHAM family (on the WALTON side of my family tree), and discovering how good the Quakers records are, that are now freely available on-line, and a seaming propensity of the Quakers in the 1800's to publish books about their family histories, I decided to do some web searches to see what else I could turn up in other parts of my ancestry.
On the ELLIOTT side of my family are the FRYs; a Quaker family, well known for chocolate making and prison reform. The FRY family is very well recorded, and has long been the longest traced line of my ancestry that I know of, going back to my 13x Gt-Grandparents. Several other (perhaps notable) Quaker families married into the FRY line, of whom I have some details, but also an impression that there is a lot more available to find. Among these are CLARENCE, of Sampford, in Essex, and STORRS, of Chesterfield, Derbyshire.
So a few weeks ago, after doing a few Google searches trying different surnames, places, and different combinations of them, I found a book about the STORRS family; THE STORRS FAMILY; Genealogical and other Memoranda, by Charles STORRS, published privately in New York, USA, in 1886. So I've been reading this over the last couple of weeks and trying to draw some trees from it!
In my family tree, I have details a couple of generations of the STORRS of Chesterfield. Two sisters; Mary and Martha STORRS, married two FRY brothers; John and Richard FRY, in the 1720's. I had some details for Mary and Martha STORRS's parents and grandparents, but no further back! This book; THE STORRS FAMILY; Genealogical and other Memoranda, pushes the details I have back another 4 generations to my 13x Gt-Grandparents, making it as long as the FRY line.
The book begins with a look at the origins of the STORRS family name, and a rather tenuous look at a STORRS family from Lancashire, with connections to Aristocracy, based on details that the author obtained from the College of Arms, in London, in 1879! There seems to be no clear evidence for a connection between this family and the STORRS who are the subject of the rest of the book!
From page 19, a proper family tree begins to emerge, interwoven with the author's story of his journeys to discover the information. The author identifies the STORRS family as originating from Sutton cum Lound; 3 miles north of Retford, in Nottinghamshire. Charles STORRS (the descendant of Samuel STORRS; an emigrant to America) had been in touch with various members of the STORRS and FRY families in Britain, and describes a visit that he made to Sutton cum Lound in 1867. He had subsequently obtained copies of the wills of a succession of STORRS family members, from a Dr John SYKES, M.D. of Doncaster, the earliest being one by a William STORRS of Sutton cum Lound, dated 1557.
What follows is my attempt to summarise the genealogy of the STORRS family, as described in the book, focusing on my direct ancestral line. Much of this comes straight from the book, but with some comments of my own. I try to distinguish between the "facts" derived directly from the transcribed wills, the assumptions/interpretations of the book's author, Charles STORRS, and my own assumptions/interpretations. My own assumptions, and those of Charles STORRS, should be treated with caution!
The will of William STORRS [xiii](1), "of Lound of the parish of Sutton" was dated 3rd August 1557, and was proved at York on 6th October 1557. It names his wife, Dorothe, and 5 children; 2 sons;
Robert (2).
William.
and 3 daughters;
Elizabeth.
Dyonice.
Ellen.
William's will also mentions a Thomas STIRROPP (associated with his daughter, Elizabeth); John and William STIRROPP, and Robert HAWMONDE as witnesses, and John, Thomas, and X'ofer (? Christopher?) RAYNE as "supervisors" of his will.
The will of Robert STORRS [xii](2) "of Lounde in the parish of Sutton and in the County of Nottingham, Husbandman" was dated 16th May 1588, and was proved at York on 5th February 1588-9. It appears that Robert had been married twice (this is the suggestion of the book's author, Charles STORRS; though it is not entirely clear from the transcribed will!). The son of the first wife was Cordall STORRS [xi](3). The book's author suggests that the name "Cordall" may have come from his mother's maiden surname, being "an old surname in Devonshire".
Robert's will goes on to name his (2nd) wife as Mabbell, and her 4 children;
Dorothie.
It also mentions John and Thomas HAMOND as "supervisors" of his will, and Thomas STIRROPE, Thomas PYE, and John WILKINSON as witnesses.
The will of Cordall STORRS [xi](3) "of Lound in the county of Nottingham" was dated 23rd February 1615-16, and proved at York on 10th October 1616. Cordall names his wife Isabell(a), his mother, Mabel (presumably his step-mother!), his brothers, Robert and John, and sisters, Dorothy and Anne. He names the following children:
Thomas (5).
William (6).
Mary(e).
Cordall also names two uncles; John and Nicholas HAMOND, making them supervisors of his will. From this comes an assumption that his (step-)mother's maiden name may have been HAMOND. Also mentioned are Robarte and Thomas HAMOND, and "Thomas STIRROPP of Lincoln, Gent."
The next will is that of Robert STORRS [xi](4), (half-)brother of Cordall (3), "of Lound in the parish of Sutton upon Lound in the county of Nottingham, Yeoman", dated 12th July 1658, and proved at York, 29 March 1662. He was buried in Sutton on 23rd Dec. 1661. He appears to have been a bachelor as he names no descendants of his own. He mentions his deceased brother Cordall STORRS (3), his nephew Thomas (5), son of Cordall, and Thomas's children; Thomas, Cordall (7) (who Robert makes his executor), Samuel, Joseph, Elizabeth and Mary.
Also named in this list are a Robert, and Sara STORRS, who do not fit with the baptism records for the children of Thomas STORRS (5) (see below)! The book's author suggests that Sara may be the daughter of William STORRS (6). But by my reading of this will, I wonder if these are grandchildren of Thomas (5), by his son, Thomas!
Robert also names the children of a Thomas HAMOND (deceased) as; Jervis HAMOND, Marie HAMOND, and Elizabeth SCOTT (I suspect these were his cousins, or the children of a cousin!), and the unnamed "children of William REYNES".
No will of Thomas Storrs [x](5) has been found. He was baptised on 25th April 1605, in the parish of Sutton cum Lound, and married Mary —— . Their children were baptised in the parish church of Sutton as follows:
Thomas; bapt. 27th Jan. 1632-3.
Cordall (7); bapt. 21st Sept. 1635.
George; bapt. 29th April 1638; d. April 1653.
Samuel; bapt. 7th Dec. 1640; the emigrant to America.
Joseph; bapt. 20th Aug. 1643.
Elizabeth; bapt. 8th Feb. 1648-9.
Mary; bapt. 2nd Nov. 1650
William STORRS [x](6) was baptised on 24th Feb. 1610. His will, dated 29th March 1643, was proved at York on 17th October 1643. He died aged just thirty-three. In his will, William "of Sutton upon Lound in the county of Nottingham, Yeoman" makes his wife, Mary, executrix, and names his mother as "Isabell Greene, widow", which makes it appear that she married a second time. He names his children;
Sarai.
William mentions the children of his brother, Thomas (5) (unnamed, except for Cordall (7).), those of his sister, Mary, who was bapt. 20th Dec. 1607 (her children are also unnamed), and his uncle, John STORRS (brother of Robert (4).). William makes his "uncle John STORRS", and a Robert CRUMWELL "supvisors" of his will.
The will of Cordall STORRS [ix](7), son of Thomas (5), "of Lound in the parish of Sutton in the county of Nottingham, Yeoman", is dated 1st November 1698, and was proved at York, 10th April 1699. In it he mentions his wife, Anne, whom he makes executrix; his three sons;
Henry.
Cordall.
and his daughters;
Dorothy (m. MARRIOTT).
Mary (m. PERKINS).
He also mentions "two grandchildren, daughters of Dorothy MARRIOTT".
The book's author, Charles STORRS, suggests that Cordall STORRS (7) "was married twice", citing a record from the Sutton parish registers of a marriage on 9th July 1655, "between Cordall STORRS, Yeoman, and Elizabeth CRUMWELL, spinster". A "Robert CROMWELL" (or CRUMWELL) was a witness to Cordall's will, along with a James MASON, and Thomas PYE. One other name that appears in Cordall's will is his "Brother Henry HEADLEY, Gent". I wonder if this is a brother of Cordall's wife, Anne! But its not clear.
There is a stone in the floor of the aisle of St Bartholomew's Church, in Sutton cum Lound, to the memory of this Cordall STORRS who died in 1698, aged 63, and to his wife, Anne, who died on 4th July 1711.
William STORRS [ix](8), the eldest son of William (6) and his wife, Mary, was baptised on 30th June 1638. He joined the Society of Friends (Quakers) and settled at Chesterfield. "The family which he founded was well known, his descendants having intermarried with many distinguished families among the Society of Friends". The book's author, Charles STORRS, writes that he has "received genealogical charts from several of these descendants, in some of which he (William (8)) is named as "Storrs of Lound".".
One family tree (which I copy below), is printed in Charles STORRS' book, showing William STORRS (8), and four generations of his descendants. My 5x Gt-grandfather, Henry FRY is in the bottom left-hand corner of this tree.
Please click on the image below to view at full resolution.
William STORRS [ix](8) married Sarah SYKES (born in 1638), the daughter of William SYKES, "Lord of the Manor of Leeds in Yorkshire, Mayor of that town", and his wife, Grace JENKINSON. George Poulson's "History of Holderness, Part II", page 92 is cited as a reference for more details about the SYKES family line. I've found several other publications that also describe the SYKES family line. See;
The Baronetage of England, Vol.4, published in 1804 (via Google Books); P.131, & tree on P.133.
A series of picturesque views of seats of the noblemen and gentlemen of Great Britain and Ireland (via Archive.org); P.20 lists a line of descent in the SYKES family, including William SYKES, taken from Burke's "Peerage and Baronetage".
The children of William STORRS and Sarah SYKES were;
Joseph (9), b. 1670
John, b. 1671
Esther, b. 1673
Sarah, b. 1675
Caleb, b. 1680
Joshua, b. 1683
Mary, b. 1686
William and Sarah's eldest son, Joseph STORRS [viii](9), married in 1702, to Katharine FROST, daughter of Henry FROST of Bridlington, Yorkshire. The book cites records kept by the Quakers, and by the FRY family, which tell something of the lives and ministry of Joseph and Katharine.
Two of Joseph and Katharine's daughters, Mary and Martha, married brothers, John and Richard FRY.
John and Mary's eldest son, Joseph FRY, became a type-founder and chocolate maker based in Bristol. For the remainder of my family line, you can see my ELLIOTT tree page.
The book, THE STORRS FAMILY Genealogy goes on to talk a little about some other branches of the STORRS family in Britain, before focusing particularly on the descendants of Samuel STORRS (a son of Thomas Storrs (5)) who emigrated to America.
I would be interested to hear from anyone who knows more about the people named above; particularly regarding the nature of some of the relationships which are unclear from the details available here. Please leave a comment below, or use the Contact Page to get in touch.

Following my last post, I've been looking at details about the WIGHAM family, on a website by Benjamin Beck, who John Little cites as the source for "much of the information" on his site (which I linked to last time). And despite my doubts, I have had a reply from John Little!
I found Benjamin Beck's family history website wonderfully detailed, although a little difficult to get into at first, without a basic overview/chart of the family trees. But his site is certainly one of the best family history websites that I've seen in terms of citing its sources. I wish that more were like that. I aspire to be as good as that, and his site gives me some ideas for areas that I might develop on afamilyhistoryblog.
Following a link to one of Ben's sources about the WIGHAM family, I've just started reading the "Memoirs of the Life, Gospel Labours, and Religious Experience of John Wigham", published in 1842 (3 years after his death). There are two digitised copies of the book available on-line.
https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=XwsFAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover
https://archive.org/details/memoirsoflifegos00wigh
John WIGHAM was evidently a prominent member of the "Society of Friends" (or "Quakers") in the late 1700's and early 1800's, and his Memoirs express a strong Christian faith. I'm enjoying reading his memoirs, and the spirit-filled faith that he writes about.
In e-mail messages we've exchanged, Ben Beck has suggested that I may find the Quaker Family History Society of interest. This is certainly something that I'll be looking at, as I also have well-known Quakers on the opposite side of my family; the FRYs. (See my ELLIOTT tree).
Based on the WIGHAM family tree, from John Little's website, John WIGHAM appears to be my 6x Gt-grandfather, on my Granddad's maternal line (see genealogy below). I have yet to check all the in-between links (which I will be doing). But Benjamin Buck's site (in particular) is so good in its detail, and in citing all of the source records for his information, that I'm in little doubt about its authenticity.
My line, from John WIGHAM;
John WIGHAM, b. 23 Mar 1749, Hargill House, Coanwood, Haltwhistle, NBL, d. 17 Apr 1839, m. Elizabeth DONWIDDY, b. 24 Mar 1748 Ambroseholm, m. circa 1769, d. 16 Apr 1827 – See; http://benbeck.co.uk/fh/wigham.html#P3.%20JOHN%20WIGHAM
Elizabeth WIGHAM, b. 1779, Burnhouse, Coanwood, Haltwhistle, d. 04 Aug 1854, m. James GLENNY, b. 27 Mar 1777, m. 28 Nov 1798 Kinmuck, d. 31 Jul 1804
Jane or Jean GLENNY, b. 28 Apr 1801 Mill of Lethenty, d. 02 Apr 1848, m. James SMEAL, b. circa 1798, m. 22 Sep 1824 Kinmuck, Aberdeenshire, d. 1847
Jemima SMEAL, b. 11 Sep 1832, d. 19 Nov 1908, m. 19 Jun 1856, James HENDERSON, b. 29 Mar 1833, d. 13 Jul 1893
Helen Urie HENDERSON, b. 15 Apr 1859, d. 28 Aug 1945, m.2. 04 Jun 1890, Edward Arthur WALTON, b. 15 Apr 1860, d. 18 Mar 1922
Elsie Marjorie WALTON, b. 17 Oct 1898, d. 12 Dec 1976, m. 15 Nov 1918, William Oliphant HUTCHISON, b. 02 Jul 1889, d. 05 Feb 1970 (my Great-grandparents).
The WIGHAM family line is traced back another 5 generations.
There are details of the Coanwood Friends Meeting House on Wikipedia.
This is a branch of my family that I, myself, have not yet done very much research into.
What I know about Helen Urie Henderson and her descendants comes largely from family knowledge within my immediate extended family. I have some details of Jemima Smeal, James Henderson and their family (and the names of Jemima's parents) from a family tree and letters sent to my Granddad by a John Gray, dated 1997. See my WALTON family tree.
All earlier details I have only found in the last few days via John Little's and Benjamin Buck's websites. So I still want to go through these details for myself to check that they all fit together.
Thank you, to John Little, and Benjamin Buck, for your websites.
New WALTON and HENDERSON family links
31 December, 2016 WALTONancestry, Bathgate, covenanter, Davie, Edward Arthur Walton, family tree, Glasgow Boys, Helen Urie Henderson, Henderson, James Davie, Johnston, quaker, Urie, Walton, websiteafamilyhistoryblog
In the last few days I've been looking through some links that Dr Mark Jardine pointed me to, about the Scottish Covenanters – transcriptions of their christening and marriage records, etc. – trying to find anything that could help me to link the Covenanter, James DAVIE (shot dead cir.1673) to the Marion DAVIE who married into my JOHNSTON family, in Bathgate, cir.1720. (See my notes at the bottom of Patrick MAIR and Thomas JOHNSTON – Part 1 )
I've not yet found anything particularly useful in that respect! But as I looked through the Covenanter records list, I noticed one or two surnames from completely the other side of my family cropping up repeatedly. "URIE" was the surname that caught my attention. I know that there is some Quaker influence on this side of my family (see my WALTON tree), so it made me think that there could be a connection!
A book that a friend gave me for Christmas; "The Glasgow Boys, In Your Pocket", (one of the "Glasgow Boys" – Edward Arthur WALTON, being my 2x Gt-grandfather), also influenced me when I began by doing a web search for ""Helen Urie HENDERSON"" (wife of E.A. WALTON); "URIE" was her paternal grandmother's maiden name. At the moment when I did the search, Helen's was the one full name that came to mind! My thought was; could I find anything that might link Helen's URIE ancestors to those Covenanter records?
Given that Helen was the wife of a well-known artist, I was surprised to find only 4 links in the search results! Two of these were to AFamilyHistoryBlog, which means that this site is doing it's job (I guess that this post will be added to that list in future). The other two links were to other people's family trees; one of Helen Urie HENDERSON's material line, and the other covering the family of Edward Arthur WALTON's maternal grandparents.
Both of these trees give me quite a lot of new material; names, dates, etc. I can't yet confirm what they claim. I would like to go through these trees, and their sources carefully, for myself, to check their records. I have e-mailed the authors of both sites, hoping to obtain more details. But I don't have a lot of hope for a reply from the WIGHAM site (Helen's maternal line), due to the page having last been updated in October 2002 (another page of this site was last updated in July 2005)!
But for my own record, and for the interests of others, I'm posting the website links below.
https://community.dur.ac.uk/j.d.little/family/Wigham.html – This is the maternal ancestry of Helen Urie HENDERSON. See the link (a screen's height down the page) to "THEIR DESCENDANTS", which takes you about 2/3 down the webpage. Then scroll down another 2 screen heights to see "Helen Urie HENDERSON" and "Edward Arthur WALTON".
http://bayanne.info/Shetland/getperson.php?personID=I442658&tree=ID1 – The Information card for Edward Arthur WALTON on the Shetland Family History website. From here you can explore a large family tree, going back through Edward's maternal Grandfather, Thomas Balfour NICHOLSON.

Acolyte, v. 1, issue 4, Summer 1943
archival collection guide
transcription tips
WITHIN THE CIRCLE by Franklin Lee Baldwin -oOo- (Editor's note: Due to our shortage of space this issue, Lee's regular column will also have to serve as our editorial page.) -oOo- A sad thing indeed is the manner in which so many fanzine editors introduce their first issue to the gang. Many adopt so apologetic an attitude in their maiden editorial that even when the mag is quite good, the reader is on the alert for something at which to turn up his nose. There is a definite difference between likeable modesty and mere self-abasement, so don't beg anyone's pardon---if you think the mag needs apologising for, don't send it out. On the other hand, if you sincerely believe that the message contained will be of interest to fans in general, distribute it even if it is written on scratch paper. Don't ever be backward in endorsing your own work---if you don't appear to believe in what you've created, how can you expect anyone else will like it? -oOo- Richard Sale comes through with a dandy yarn about that well-known thing called resurrection. In spite of its somewhat torrid moments and cosmopolitan setting, it has some good scenes where those who thrive on the morbid side of things can have their innings. There's one in particular...but get it and read for yourself. Title is [[underline]]Lazarus #7[[end underline]]. Another Handi-book publication that will really smite you with its beautiful yet dreadful sense of stealthily creeping horror is Cornell Woolrich's neatly constructed [[underline]]Black Alibi[[end underline]]. This is one author who knows the art of combining the right words to make you feel you are actually on the spot. A must. -oOo- The book [[underline]]An Old Captivity[[end underline]] by Nevil Shute has been out since 1940 and should still be procurable. It starts in a very matter-of-fact fashion relating the story of a commercial aviator who gets a job flying the proverbial professor and beautiful daughter on an archaeological expedition to Greenland. Up to the point of arrival it's a yarn of pioneering in the aviation field---after that, fantasy is so smoothly incorporated that the reader is just aware of its existence. The dream sequences and parts following are simply, yet effectively, told and comprise some of the best fantastic writing that has been produced. -oOo- I'd like to quote part of a letter I recently received: "I intend to go into fantasy fiction when the time permits, but I don't want to ape[?] anyone, not even HPL. He's been done to death in that respect already; practically every amateur has at one time or another given his ponderous style a going over. He himself was the only master of it. He looked up to Poe, perhaps using him as model; some say he even excelled Poe, but I think no one ever will. Edgar Allan had the knack of combining beauty and horror in such a way that the superlative qualities of each were brought into juxtaposition. Merritt comes closest of anyone I know today. He can create a thing of sheer beauty, then give it a touch of horror to set it off. And vice-versa, a thing of dark evil can have a touch of unearthly and angelic lovliness that makes one sad and sick at heart--yet somewhere in the background will still lurk a shadow of intangible dread and madness unparalleled. If ever I need a model for anything I write it will surely be Meritt..." I myself am all for beauty in fantastic literature---we've been terrorized and sickened enough. The end of the war will bring on a new era in weird literature, an era of weird BEAUTY. Wait and see. F.L.B. -- 2 --

NEW RULES & DECISIONS CONTENTS SUMMARY FOR WEEK OF 7/15/2013
CLICK ON SUMMARY BELOW TO ACCESS THE BLOG POST
A. TOPICS BY TRANSPORT MODE.
Final Rule – "This rulemaking allows air carrier operators and commuter or on-demand operators that also conduct commercial air tour operations to combine the drug and alcohol testing required for each operation into one testing program. The current rule requires those operators to conduct separate testing programs for their commercial air tour operations."
Final Rule – Now a second in command pilot (first officer) in domestic, flag, and supplemental operations must hold an airline transport pilot certificate and an airplane type rating for the aircraft to be flown. An airline transport pilot certificate requires that a pilot be 23 years of age and have 1,500 hours total time as a pilot. This is the so-called new "co-pilot" rule.
Proposed Rule – Uninspected commercial barges and uninspected commercial sailing vessels no longer fall outside the scope of a statute requiring the regulation of lifesaving devices on uninspected vessels – i.e., even for those who DON'T carry passengers for hire. U.S. Coast Guard proposes change in its rules to conform to 2010 Coast Guard Reauthorization Act on this point.
Final Rule – For those maritime operators who either use vapor control systems (VCS's) voluntarily or do so to comply with federal or state environmental requirements, the U.S. Coast Guard has extensively updated its rules for VCS's in light of latest design and technology capabilities. But note: The U.S. Coast Guard by its own rules does not require VCS's.
Regulatory Guidance – With new Hours of Service regulation taking effect as of July 1, 2013, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration updates regulatory guidance about how truck drivers should make logbook entries about their rest and meal breaks. The FMCSA expresses its belief that the former (1997) guidance had, "the effect of discouraging drivers from taking breaks during the work day, or documenting such breaks in their logbooks".
Court Decision – Held that the Carmack Amendment does not completely preempt claims against freight brokers so as to support the exercise of removal jurisdiction (i.e., from state court where case originally brought over to federal court), in granting Plaintiff's motion to remand case to state court. In denying Plaintiff's requests for costs against defendant for improvident removal, the court observed: the "Carmack Amendment's application to claims against brokers in addition to carriers is an unsettled area, and a well-supported, if ultimately unsuccessful, argument in favor of removal is hardly improvident."
Notice of Grant of Waiver – Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration grants 90-day waiver from 30-minute rest break requirement for the transportation of livestock. That's restricted to July, August and September 2013.
Safety Advisory Guidance – U.S. Federal Railroad Administration issues guidance in parts: (1) "Safety precautions and recommended guidance for persons responsible for unloading or transloading hazardous materials from rail tank cars, specifically those persons heating a rail tank car to prepare its hazardous material contents for unloading or transloading"; and (2) "Reminds such persons of current regulatory requirements addressing this type of operation".
B. TOPICS BY TRANSPORT POLICY.
Damage to Freight / Carmack
C. TOPICS BY AGENCY INITIATIVE.
No post this week.
D. TOPICS BY LEGAL DISCIPLINE.
Federal Preemption
Court Decision – Airline Deregulation Act preempted state common law claims of unjust enrichment and tortious interference, among others, in putative class action brought by skycaps at Boston Logan Airport against airlines that each introduced a $2 per bag fee for curbside service for departing passengers at airports (i.e., that the airlines, not the skycaps, received).
Court Decision – In case of semi rig's collision and wrongful death action, held that MCS-90 endorsement attached to insurance policy of motor carrier whose trailer was being hauled by a rig driven by a third party and pulled by a third party's tractor unit would apply in the event there was a judgment in the case (context here was motion for summary judgment), despite the facts that (1) third party was hauling the trailer at time of the accident, (2) another third party had entered into a lease subject to purchase with tractor's owner, and (3) that third party itself had entered into an Owner Operator Lease Agreement with yet another third party with obligation to do the maintenance.
E. NOTEWORTHY CRIMINAL ENFORCEMENT, CIVIL ACTIONS or INSPECTOR GENERAL AUDITS.
Class Action Tentative Settlement – Arkansas federal judge tentatively approved settlement of class action brought by several trucking companies against "Pilot Flying J" truck stops for pricing fraud on fuel. Reported terms include 100% recovery on payments plus 6% interest.

Ле-Моль () — гора в департаменте Верхняя Савойя во Франции, которая возвышается рядом с городом Боннвиллем и окружена коммунами Эз, Латур, Сен-Жан-де-Толом, Маринье, Сен-Жуа-ан-Фосиньи, Вью-ан-Салла, Пейонне, Фосиньи. Высота горы — 1863 м, благодаря чему хорошо видна во всём регионе. Хотя гора Ле-Моль в Верхней Савойи считается маленькой, она имеет важное географическое значение — отделяет долину реки Арв, которая протекает на юге и западе, от долины реки Жифф, протекающей на севере и юго-востоке, а также возвышается на южном подходе к Женевскому бассейну.

Significant oil and gas reserves
Renewable energy and tourism potential
Strong external financial position (very low external debt, large foreign exchange reserves)
High dependence on hydrocarbons and problems in using this income
Political crisis with an uncertain outcome
High youth unemployment rate
Overly large public sector
Red tape, financial sector weaknesses and problematic business environment
Subdued growth, constrained by political uncertainty
After being constrained by the decline in hydrocarbon production in 2018 (particularly gas), growth will remain very restrained throughout 2019. Hydrocarbons are unlikely to significantly drive growth. Production quotas under the OPEC agreement and ageing oil fields will limit any increase in oil production. Political uncertainty, notably the likely delay in the adoption of the new hydrocarbon law due to the current social unrest, will likely weigh on the evolution of gas production. Therefore, although hydrocarbons still accounted for nearly 95% of export earnings, the contribution of the trade balance to growth will continue to drag on growth. The political situation and uncertainty over the country's governance will also affect private investment, which is already suffering from a complex business environment. In 2019, public investment is expected to suffer from reductions in capital expenditure, which had been increased in 2018. The decrease in these expenses should lead to increased payment delays for construction companies, and potential corporate insolvencies.
Regarding consumption, on the one hand given the political and social context, social benefits are likely to be safeguarded, and therefore continue to support private consumption. This latter will also benefit from lower inflation (thanks to lower food prices). On the other hand, the growth of consumption will be constrained by high unemployment, while political unrest (which leads to the closure of shops on protest days) is expected to hamper economic activity.
Substantial twin deficits
In 2019, the budget deficit will remain large and threatens to widen even further. While the increase in customs duties should result in an increase in non-oil revenues, those related to hydrocarbons (about 45% of budgetary revenues) should be penalized by the difficulties in the sector. Given the social unrest, recurrent expenditure and social transfers are expected to increase at the expense of capital expenditure. With the government indicating at the end of June 2019 that it wished to turn the page on the "non-conventional financing" initiated at the end of 2017 (monetary creation process), and in the absence of new taxes, the Treasury could potentially turn to external borrowing, which is currently a marginal share of Algeria's low debt.
After contracting sharply in 2018, thanks notably to import control measures that led to the reduction of the large trade deficit, the current account deficit is expected to remain high. The import bans on a list of 851 products were replaced in September 2018 by a new tariff mechanism that will continue to limit imports, but export earnings are expected to increase even more slowly. The trade deficit is therefore expected to widen. Despite a surplus in the transfer account, the current balance will also be affected by the deficit in the invisible and income balances. The current account deficit is expected to continue to be financed by the drawdown of foreign exchange reserves (which represented about 17 months of imports at the end of 2018). As a result, they are expected to further erode, which they have done almost constantly since 2014.
A transition with an undecided outcome
After nearly 20 years of presidency, Abdelaziz Bouteflika was forced to resign on April 2, 2019 in the face of a large-scale popular mobilization calling for a regime change which began in February 2019. While the Constitution provides for presidential elections (initially scheduled for 18 April) to be held within 90 days of the resignation, the Constitutional Court ruled that it was not feasible to hold them on the announced date of July 4. While the 90-day deadline has passed, Abdelkader Bensallah, as Speaker of the Upper House of the Parliament, continues to serve as interim Head of State. Despite the departure of former President Bouteflika, demonstrators continue to mobilize en masse in order to demand the departure of all the symbols of the system that has governed the country since 1999 and the advent of a second republic. General Ahmed Gaïd Salah, a key player in Mr Bouteflika's departure and a representative of the military, is also playing a role in the transition, notably by initiating the "Clean Hands" operation: a vast anti-corruption campaign. Despite the arrests of prominent political figures, welcomed by some of the public, there are those who doubt the sincerity of the approach, openly accusing General Gaïd Salah of wanting to establish a military regime with a civilian showcase. President Bensallah, who was re-appointed head of state on July 9 after his interim term in office expired, did propose a roadmap for new presidential elections, but as no single figure truly represents the movement, it seems difficult to implement at this moment in time. The country's traditional opposition is divided on the objectives of the transition. This political uncertainty is therefore likely to persist in the coming months, hindering policymaking.
