Good Afternoon, Izard Cousins! How is everyone? The list has become very quiet. I suppose many of you are finding everyday life is taking up time and energy. :) Right now, I have been working on taxes, and it's a challenge, isn't it? I don't know about you guys, but I would love to see the Fair Tax put into place! Anyone with new discoveries in your family tree? I got my cousin to purchase a Family Tree Maker so that she could be a second source for storing all the discoveries, so that they are not lost. It's funny, when I first started the quest for family information, the internet seemed to be alive with people on all the lists actively involved in genealogy. Now, no matter what list I am no, it's hard to pry out any activity. Do you find that on the lists you belong to? I hope for any new folks who are hungry to find information, that you will introduce yourselves and tell us who you are looking for. Perhaps, we have the answers, or at least a few of them. :) Hope all of you are doing well! Blessings, Jean Cuevas

Just springtime in Oklahoma. Had some really beautiful days. Then it's supposed to go into the trash tomorrow for a couple days. Heavy thunderstorms with a chance of large hail and tornadoes. Then, Monday morning, SNOW in some parts. Gotta love it. Looks like it will be heading towards Arkansas after it's through with us. Be prepared. For as long as I've known anything about my "Richardson's" there was a story that we were related to the famous Confederate General, Bill Richardson. Well.............................we all know how "stories" go. I found out, first, he wasn't a general, second, he wasn't in the Confederate Army. He was a Captain in the Union Army. Company G, Phelps’ regiment of Missouri Volunteers. I found confirmation of Delia [ sometimes Delila ] Short was married to my William Walsh. Her family was in Fulton County in the late 1800's. And, unrelated to Arkansas and Izard county in particular. I discovered the final resting place of my adoptive father.

Hi Billie. The weather has been crazy this year, for sure. We just are coming out of another cold snap here in Georgia, and I hope it's the last for this year! Sorry about the possibility of hail and snow. You know, I would love to see Oklahoma. When Dad was overseas during WWII, I lived with my mom in OK. Probably Claremore, since that's where Dad's mom is buried. All I remember about Ok, is Sulpher Springs and finding a park with a drinking fountain, and not being able to get enough of the water! :) I was a strange kid! Loved the smell of that water, kerosine, and gasoline! I have Richardsons in my family tree, although I have never really tried to research them. An Elizabeth Richardson, born June 1809, died October 06, 1872 in KY, married Jonas Houser March 1829 in KY. That's all I know about her. I know that a lot of the Jefferys married Richardsons in AR. So glad you found the burial place for your adoptive father. Jean C At 07:39 PM 4/12/2014, you wrote: >Just springtime in Oklahoma. Had some really beautiful days.
