Welcome

Trying to write one's family history can be rather daunting, to say the least. Even more so when you're dyslexic and have poor gramar skills. It can be quite exasperating trying to put some simblance of order to the tons of information I've accumulated since I began this journey while living in England in 2004. Should I write a book, use Facebook, use a genealogy website or write a blog? There are so many options, but no matter which avenue(s) I choose there will always be a family member who will not be able to access portions of my collection and research. What to do, what to do? Do I do more than one? Yes. This blog will be my avenue of sharing information, and feelings, as I progress through a mirad of projects such as writing a book and updating my tree on Ancestry.com. This, I believe, will also allow for sharing of information quicker. Though they are all different in how they share information, the end goal is to be the story teller for my family. To tell the stories of generations that came before me, who still walk with me and for the generations yet to be. I welcome your comments, questions and inputs.

John and Suzanna Kate (Cullimore) Flanagin

Don't really know why I've become obsessed with finding the parents of John W. Cullimore's sister's husband. Because it is a mystery? Because a great grandson has emailed me asking for any information I have on Suzanna?  What I do find interesting is that there are two sets of John and Suzanna Flanagins in the Ancestry.com databases and member created trees. And, within Ancestry.com people have these two intertwined within their trees. Suzanna Kate Cullimore's husband John Flanagin didn't not live, die, nor was he buried in Pawnee,Nebraska in 1905. Her husband live to around 1930. There seems to be two James Flanagin's that people are claiming to be the father of her husband. Both have different birth and death dates. I'm inclined to believe if one of these is his father that it would be the one born in 1811.  But as of this date I have no proof of who his father was.  Then there is the spelling of the last name. I'm sure that contributes to all the confusion...Flanagin (Suzanna's husband's spelling), Flanagan and Flanigan. Of course one could say that his family may have changed the spelling along the course of time.
