I am so bad at this. I envy those that consistently write on their blog. However, I do have some exciting news. Since I started this blog, I have managed to track down relatives I didn't know existed and/or were alive. During a conversation with my mom, she remembered that her dad had 2 sisters (Aunt Dorothy Pope and Aunt Susie Smith). She also remember that Aunt Dorothy had a daughter named Ida Mae and that Aunt Susie had a daughter named Marva Faye. Well, while dabbling in Ancestry.com (it seems something new comes up every so often, even if I enter the exact same information I entered previously) I stumbled acrossed another family tree that was sharing the same ancestors I had. Coincidence? I think not? So, using the leads that were available in that tree (a very important lead I might add...that there were living relatives), I started searching for these living relatives. I tried google without much success, so I tried Facebook. I sent messages to everyone that fit my criteria and low and behold, someone replied that was indeed related. It's been amazing. I have talked with 3 cousins (2 in Arkansas and 1 in Tennessee). It has been wonderful getting acquainted with these new relatives.
Life is good!
Okay, I'm going to try really hard to right more frequently.
