Family Pictures

Here are a few of our family's pictures.

Meeting Cousin Tracy 'ala Lopez

Jones from Meriwether, GA connection. I was so happy to hear from Cousin Tracy today. She is Bubba's (Hiram Murphy) oldest daughter and let me say very sweet. We talked for a few moments and decided to meet in person on Wednesday when I meet cousin Edis and visit cousin Annette next week. I am very excited to meet some more relatives on this side. As the youngest of a divorced couple it wasn't often I was able to see & meet both sides fo my family. For one thing most were either younger or older than I. I am however determined to those whao are related to me. Till we meet again!

Family Tree Updates:

October 19, 2010 I recieved this request on yesterday and am excited about what I could possibly offer. Details to come. I have been researching the descendents of Wesley Boler and also the descendents of at least 2 of the slave families he had. I believe that Jesse Boler of the 1870 census next door to Wesley Boler was one of those families. Can you provide me with some information of the Jesse Boler family. I would appreciate it. I am a board member of the Foundation for the Restoration and Preservation of Boler Inn. I believe that the black families that toiled on the farms and in the homes, maybe in the old Inn itself should be remembered. This is a project I have taken on myself for my own satisfaction, but I hope some day to share with the museum. Thank you for your attention.

Surname Explanation

A family member pointed out that while I have a certain large amount of Surnames very close family members may not see their name in the list

Getting Started...

Well I started my hunt for my ancestors when I was 8 years old. The problem was I also stopped that same year. My maternal grandmother suggested to me she had no idea who her father was and my paternal grandmother went only to her grandparents. It was only after my lovely husband Jemal Webb  got me the gift of ancestry.com for Christmas that the passion I had no idea was this strong ignited. I used the census records and the information from my living relatives to find the family I knew only existed in theory. Once in ancestry I started to link up to other family trees especially on my husband's side that gave more detailed information. From there I went on google and researched surnames that weren't as popular  (to me at least) and found cousins and information galor! I still have a long way to go but I am determined and pleased to share the journey with you. Blessings to Cousin Luckie , who not only inspired this blog but also helps to encourage me to find my answers. Also...
