My uncle(by marriage) got in touch with me a week ago. He sent me pictures of my dad(died 1962) in short pants. Also pictures of my grandparents when they first married. Also while my second cousin was digging through an old barn, he found a painting of my grt. grandmother who died in 1909. And an old photo album with her, her 3 brothers and parents. All these people have been dead for yrs. We think there was also a picture of her husband and her but we aren't sure Am Southern born and bred and darn proud of it Am researching maternally:ballard,briley,clubbs,george,gillihan,goolsby,jackson,link(9x),majors,pool/poole,summers,thompson paternally:ausbrooks,barber,:brown,freeland,gant,kirkham,mcquiston,moye,parker,rippy,tipton,whitson Brenda Parker proud member of the IBSSG --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

I went to the opthamologist's office with my husband, David this morning in case he needed someone to drive him home. He had gotten something into his eye at work on Fri. A man came in the waiting room and asked him if he was related to B.J. Koons (who is David's 2nd cousin) and introduced himself by saying that his daughter was married to B.J. I told him that I had been corresponding by email with his wife on the genealogy of the Koons family. He brought her into the waiting room. We were so happy to finally meet each other and put faces with the names! Jinnye Faye Parker wrote: My uncle(by marriage) got in touch with me a week ago.

It's pretty exciting when that happens. The first pictures I ever saw of my father's parents were sent to me by some third cousins!
