I lost my yuongest bro Oct 5 2000 and my oldest son Oct 9 2000. That is why i started my research. My daughters stayed with me for 6 weeks. We just sat and talked. They were such a comfort to me. I not only found some of my mom and dad's people. But some of the nicest people you could ever want to meet. I married a Sims from Geneva county. My dad's bro married a Barantine from Dale County . In finding my cousins. I find all these names in our family. If not by blood, by marriage. My oldest bro could play the harmonica. My husband played the Quitar, and we all loved to sing. Even when at home we would sit out on the front porch at night and sing old gospel songs. The memories are wonderful.

I have listened very quietly as each of you told of things so important in your lives. All these wonderful things make us the great people we are. Liz, you and I talked so we both have Yohn blood. Janice , you and I have talked so we are cousins through your husbands Faircloth line. Max Yates and I have Yates blood. Michael Barnes has Faircloth blood. Each person that I have talked with I have learned to love even though we have never met. The great and wonderful thing about genealogy is age does not matter at all. We all are a big family willing to help each other. And that is great. I lost my oldest sister Nov. 1, and almost lost all my interest in genealogy and many things. She told me of the many things she remembered about Holmes county because she was 65 and I am 58. But how many story she told me that now are coming alive because all you have really been a healing for me. I indeed myself remember the ice truck and the Grand Ole Opry. But most of all I remember the fabulous Southern Gospel Singing Conventions my parents took me to. In 1950 we came south to Polk County to find work. But we continued thee singing and all our family can still sing. When my sister died she was in De Funiak at a state singing convention. How proud I am to be from Holmes County, Fla. How proud I am to have all these bloodlines because our blood makes us the tender, loving people that we have come today.
