All my early life i was told my Dad was orphan?? Dad died in 1944, I was 21 yrs old. I was oversea,didnt know about it until i got back to the States. 25 years ago We started hunting/remembering bits an pieces of the past. NAMEs??   We went to different places , court houses , librarys ,cemeterys ,we found Dad,s parents marriage cert. Not much abt The Campbell line(BRICK WALL)   The Jackson line we have beyond the boat.,    We not have over 8,000 entreys ,,hers- mine - ours.   We were  seaarching a church cmt, ,the church was celebrating 200 yrs the founding of it. We found dads grand parents  an dad  were members abt the b1900 era . Found that Dad had a Brother who lettered out in 1906--nothing more abt him   Talk to family members  get pictures ??  Anything you can.   Thanks for listening to an OLD man.   Bill n Lois   Lois /lines Bilbrey,Copeland,Beaty,Robbins,Phillips, Winningham,Van Hooser,   An WHO ELSE?? --- On Wed, 12/29/10, HSTBUFF@aol.com <HSTBUFF@aol.com> wrote: From: HSTBUFF@aol.com <HSTBUFF@aol.com> Subject: Re: [TNOVERTO] a question about your research To: tnoverto@rootsweb.com Date: Wednesday, December 29, 2010, 7:02 AM I don't know about others who have just started working on  their family history but the questions this person posted is a good  reminder of how hard it is to start and what they learn as they go along.
