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.

What are the Odds?

What are the odds of there being “two” sets of twins out there named Mearl and Pearl? The set I’m interested in were born in 1895. I keep coming across a pair born in 1924.  Pearl Fay only lived 10 days before she passed. She is buried in an unmarked grave with my great great grandparents and her uncle Charlie.  I found Pearl’s burial location through court records, but have not yet found Mearl May…or is it Merl May?  I’ve seen both spellings.  Their father, Arthur is buried in California.   I’ve not yet looked for their mother.
