I've wanted to research my family lines since I was in about the 5th grade at Fort Necessity, LA, when my maternal grandmother refused to share any information with me about her family. Unfortunately, life got in my way. . . aside from raising my 3 wonderful children and working full time I had no time or money to follow up until after I retired! Over the years I managed to gather tidbits of info which I hung onto. Thanks to the many contributors to Find A Grave site, I have managed to grow my family lines, as well as those of my children & their father and those of my current husband. I not only work on my direct lineage, but lateral lines as well.
I have lived in California since the 1950's, so it's extremely important to be able to access records online.'
Some of the main names I research are: Huffman; Cater; Martin; Weatherly; Watson; Townsend; Knight; Pritchett; Phillips; Lapp; Cupit; and that's not even the tip of the iceberg!
Please feel free to contact me if you have questions and/or information which we may be able to exchange.
