OOOh, so neglected!!!!

This blog has been so neglected, and to be honest, I've only been doing bits and pieces, but this last weekend, found more information in two days (on hubby's mom side) than I have been able to find in five years!!! The stars and moons must have been lined up just perfect.

And where do you ask, did I find these gems? Well, one of the sites is the Find A Grave website, which is free and done on the volunteer basis.

Then, dear hubby, buys me a memebership to Ancestry every year, and they are a huge help.

Now let me tell you about my find.

Let's start with Terry

Terry's mother and father: Robert George Hortter and Zelma Imagen Long
Zelma Imagen's m & f: James Arthur Long and Sadie Louise Huggins

This is were I got to add info!!!!!


I had Sadie's mom's name and 'married' name, but the Mr was deceased.
I found them!!!

Robert Long and Arlona B. Mathews! There they are and found the marriage certificate too!

Then I found the parents of Arlona, not the maiden name of mother yet, but really hopeful!

Parents of Arlona are Robert and Sarah C. Mathews! Joy Joy Happiness!

Well, that's what I got and I'm so happy!

Until next time! May God bless you and keep you safe and healthy!

One of my other passions..............



Family History.....

I once saw a difinition of genealogy:

Disturbing the dead and

irritating the living!


Yeap, that's how hubby and daughter feel. But I love it and will attempt to share my 'diggin's' here!
