I was challenged (not in a nice way) to find something to occupy my time when I retired so that I did not end up drinking and gambling away my hard-earned pension.

I chose to join Ancestry.com and begin to build links to my ancestors, (sometimes it makes me want a drink, but the fees leave me no money to gamble with).

Then I found Find A Grave and after a few instances of incomplete, or inaccurate data, and missing connections to other family members. I decided to quit bitching and become part of the solution and joined FAG.

So far in my FAG journey, I have added only those that link to my family tree. I have a special interest in making sure the babies are accounted for.

The primary names in my ancestry are:

Paternal: Scarborough, Watson, Wright, Haley, Cloyd

Maternal: Smith, Gordan, Tewell, Cissell, Youngblood, Prater

And a few found on both sides, such as Ballard, Moore, and Watson, although I have not found a circular connection.
