Hi! My name is Becky ABSHER; I am researching my husband, Wayne's, family in Tyler, TX. His grandfather, Adolphus Hugh ABSHER (it seems that Adolphus was an oft-repeated name at that time, from reading Bob's post about his Peter Adolphus Humble!). Our Adolphus was born August 17, 1883 in Tyler, TX. He married Estelle ARD (b. July 10, 1886 in Mills Co., TX) December 20, 1902. I'm not exactly sure where they were married. Adolphus' father was Henry Alexander , b. October 26, 1844, in TX. (not sure where). I live in Norwalk, CA; Los Angeles Co. My husband Wayne and I will celebrate our 20th anniversary this September. We just had our 9th grandchild (a beautiful granddaughter, April 7). Wayne retired last June and hopefully we will hit the road soon to start REALLY researching! On my mother's side I have heard stories of some of the ancestors spending time in Tyler, but as of yet I have nothing that would indicate it. I will, however, add the names at the end just in case. You never know! I would be more than happy to share and compare any information anyone of you may have an interest in; and would certainly appreciate any help of the same! My ABSHER ancestors - ABSHER, ARD, WOOLVERTON, MAYFIELD My GRUMBLES ancestors - GRUMBLES, EPPLER, TAYLOR, BOOTH, PIERCE, POIRIER, PRICE, STOKES Glad to join you all!
