Lost Ancestors by Attendees at Workshop

 Lost Ancestors We Wish to Find



We had a nice small turn out.  With that in mind we covered a lot of ground at our meeting.
 I played the CD  about the Trail of Tears Cherokee Legacy. We discussed the knowledge we learned and then all seemed stunned of what had happened after what all had been done.

We then shared going around the group their hopes and needs to move forward in their research.

Linda Cross, is looking for slave records about 1841. Two of her blank walls are TILMAN and BOWEN.  I need to find time to go through cousin Vicki's, Bowen files. I will do this before next Saturday. She has them into Kentucky.

Virginia Taylor is organizing some of the files since she has located a distant cousin that was unknown. She was anxiously waiting to hear back from this person.  BLAND has pretty well been unblocked but she has a couple more we will address.

Shirley Becker is still looking for William WRIGHT in NY. Many stories but no solid fact that he is the husband of Aurila Wright. An obituary says she was a widow at the time of her death.  ??
Arises because no data found on where died, buried, obituary any thing that would verify stories.
Was this maybe a divorced and covered by saying widow?

She is also looking for the ancestors of her GRAVES that were in NY and at least one moved to WVA of today Va of old.

Sheila Cloharty  is looking for CLOUGHTRY, ERTY,  in New Hampshire.
Looking forward to seeing you again Sheila.

Cynthia Teysko, is searching a new found line the WARREN'S and OTIS.

Gary Brock is looking for his half siblings, last name DAVIS in Toledo, area of Ohio.

Having learned I also have WARREN in my direct line. Some of us Warren descendants should chat.
That was my find of that week.

Any one with data on any of these names please contact me for access to these people to share information.  SusiCP1@gmail.com  or SusiCP@cox.net or here in message section.
