I now have genealogy records that goes back to 1066. I even have copies of the family bible and other documents about our famous kings of England. I even have a copy of the photo of Jesse Fitzwater 1813-1899, Father of our branch of the family near Monticello, Illinois. Do you know about Robert Fitz-Walter? He was an English baronial leader against King John in the early 1200's. I have a copy of the Coat of Arms of Robert Fitzwalter Baron of Dunmow from whom we are descendants. Also a complete date to date box of written stories about Fitz-Walter to Fitzwater from 1066 to present. I am putting all this in a book. I should be done in 6 to 9 months. Called "Fitz-Walter to Fitzwater". Anyone who would like to participate please feel free to email me and you will get nice discount. If you would like for me to look anyone up let me know. It is great to visit an elder with stories and the books to back them up. Even stories of their own. While I was visiting my great aunt she pulled out a photo album and in this album was a photo of Dora Lee waving at her husband George Patrick on the front porch. I noticed the date December 12, 1918. I looked at Dora Lee again and jump up screaming and crying. My poor aunt looked at me wondering what was wrong. I got emotional, Dora Lee was pregnant with my grandmother Nevada Virginia Patrick, she was born February 21, 1919. Than we noticed an address on the house 117 but no street name. So we went house hunting for a house # 117 and no luck so far. This is so exciting finding great things and some not so great about family history. I hope you enjoy the book as I am putting this "Fitz-Walter to Fitzwater" together. The book will be cover to cover with genealogal history in the making along with a Family Tree (cost extra)
