Hi Everyone, My name is Carolyn and as some of you probably already know I am writing a genealogy book on my Kirkpatrick family. I have just finished the chapter on Silas Fain Kirkpatrick who was the son of Joseph Milton Kilpatrick, and the brother of my ancestor Bennett S. Kirkpatrick. I've included all the information that I have including the pictures and stories and letter's written by Silas's sons who were in the Civil War. If there is anybody out there who is a descendant of Silas who has information, stories, or photo's that they would like to have put in the book, please contact me and I will be glad to input them for you. My next chapter will be on Jonas Joseph Kirkpatrick, and if any of you have any information, stories, or photo's I'll be glad to do the same for you. I found something on the web that I got a kick out of, so I thought I'd pass it along: A modern mother is explaining to her little girl about pictures in the family photo album. "This is the geneticist with your surrogate mother and here's your sperm donor and your father's clone. This is me holding you when you were just a frozen embryo. The lady with the very troubled look on her face is your aunt, who is a genealogist." A big thank you goes to Shirley Reed who sent that to me, laughter is good for the soul. Sincerely, Carolyn [email protected]
