I think thats why we are all doing this. To find out what we were and who we are. There are memories and stories out there just waiting to be uncovered. I never knew my GrandFather and to this day he remains a mystery. He was born in Colorado but his family came from Missouri and I think he went back there and died but where, I don't know. His name is William Holman Turner; dob July 1893. He married my GrandMother, Hattie Iceline Lawrence; dob Dec 20, 1895 in Grand Junction, Mesa, Colorado, but at some point they divorced and she went to Idaho where she remarried. William stayed in CO., but there was a blurb in the paper that stated " Word was received by Clarence Turner of death of his brother, William, who went to Missouri from here last fall". This was in "The Daily Sentinal" in Grand Junction dated Feb 20, 1936. I have posted many times looking for any info on William but thus far have received nothing. If anyone here sees the name William Holman Turner please contact me. I hope one day to find what Carol has. Til then I just keep on digging up "bones", as I refer to it. Thanks Carol for the encouragement.

You will be amazed at the amount of >personal information that may be revealed! Good Luck! Lorraine's right...the same thing happened to me. My mother never knew her paternal grandparents nor does she remember hearing much about them. When I started researching my ancestry and talked about it all the time <grin>, my mother's eyes would glaze over and she once asked me when I was going to "be through with all that", and I just laughed. An online friend, who was raised in the small Texas town where my grgrandparents lived, is a member of their local history society, and one of her projects is researching old newspapers for the area. Periodically she sends me blurbs from the paper which include my grandparents' surname. It was indeed a great day when she found a memorial written by the best friend of my grgrandmother, my mother's grandmother. It was a glowing, lovely portrayal of a woman who devoted her life to family, friends and caring for those misfortunate. It made this woman come alive for my mother and me, and when I saw the tears in my mother's eyes, I knew I had at last hooked her...now she understood my *addiction*.
