I grew up in Hobart, Oklahoma and after moving away over 50 years ago, I have recently returned to Hobart.

My dad grew up in Rainey and Rocky townships, Washita County, Oklahoma. My mother grew up in Hobart, Kiowa County, Oklahoma. I have many relatives that came from that area and many ancestors buried in the Rocky and Hobart cemeteries.

I've been interested in genealogy since 2008 and regret that I didn't start sooner, so that I would have had access to all that rich history that went to the grave with my parent's, aunt's and uncle's. I'm thankful that two of my cousins have helped pave the way before me. I've also met 'new' cousins that have filled in many gaps for me.

My direct family lines are:

Means in Oklahoma, Missouri, N. Carolina;

Cunningham in Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee;

Taulbee in Oklahoma, Illinois, N. Carolina, Maryland;

Boren in Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky, N. Carolina.

Many thanks to all you folks who have worked so hard in creating and updating these memorials. You've created a rich pool of information for the rest of us.
