My beloved Uncle Earl Sisson died July 25, 2007. I am sure that many of you have either met him or read his book called "Earl's Notebook" A Small Family History compiled by Earl Palmer Sisson and Lillian Cooley Sisson. He was 86 years old and lived in Chattanooga, TN. He has been quoted countless times and much of his findings have made their way onto several genealogy sites. He never owned a computer but he and Aunt Lillian traveled far and wide gathering information on the Sisson family. He is the reason for my interest in genealogy and I will always be indebted to him. Whatever he states is fact is indeed true. If he was not sure he would say so. It has been fun going behind him and checking out his findings and marveling at his accuracy. When my brother did the DNA to the 25th degree this verified what we had been told. We are proud to be part of the "Southern Sissons." Thank you Uncle Earl and Aunt Lillian for all your dedication and hard work.
