| Bio and Links |
I was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, the daughter of Van Buren Mayo and Margaret Elaine (Bandy) Mayo. I married my best friend in 1979, we remained in the area until 1986 when we moved to Indiana in search of work. We have remained in the north every since, though I surely do miss home. I have been researching his family, the descendants of Hans Johannes Bischoff, for many years, as well as my own family lines including, but not limited to, Mayo, Bandy, Crawford, Whittlesey, Miller, Maxwell, Loflin.... The descendants of Hans Johannes Bischoff have spread all over the world, but they started out in this country around the Floyd and Montgomery county areas in Virginia. I've become very close to the entire family, and continue to add "new" family members and information all the time. Please contact me if you think you might be related, or if you have information about them, or my side of the family. Bishop family common surnames include Lester, Skaggs, Quesenberry, Simpkins, Goad, Phillips, Justice, Harper, Drake, Keene, Taylor, Slone, Smiley, Abshire, Matney, Maynard, and many many many others. My husband and I have finally settled again, this time for good, in Frenchburg, Kentucky. This is next door to Morgan County Kentucky, where his great grandparents are buried, and there are still Bishop descendants living there, who have never left.
Sadly, West Liberty, Kentucky, the county seat of Morgan County Kentucky, was hit by a devastating tornado Friday, March 2, 2012, just 2 days ago as of this writing. The families there will need your help. Please consider donating to your local Red Cross to help get them the assistance they need so badly. We live a mere 17 miles away, and our place, thankfully, was unharmed. We are very fortunate and thank God for our blessings.
I have discovered a webpage that lists the murders, and deaths, (etc) of hundreds of people, mainly children. I've searched findagrave for many of these names, and most are not included here. I feel that these kids should be remembered, and the public should be made aware of how they died, perhaps to help prevent others from the same fate. I am including as many of these names as I can everyday, as well as from some of our nations tragedies, such as the Oklahoma bombing, Waco, 9-11, Katrina, Ted Bundy victims, etc. Feel free to write if you know of something I've not covered, or if there's someone you'd like to not have listed. These poor folks need to be remembered, and justice needs to be served. Perhaps by spreading the word among our contacts and networking, these things can be accomplished. I'd love to see you visit my myspace page, I have included the link for my homepage listing here below. I have included hundreds of blogs there about those less fortunate than us. If I have included a memorial that you would rather not see on findagrave, please, write me and let me know, I will be happy to remove it. Or, if you need to send corrections, they are always welcomed. I'd deeply appreciate any flowers and notes to be added to my parents names, grandparents, my late grandson Andrew Vincent Elkins, and my husband's late mother, Sue Elaine Bullock, as well as his father, Dow Darrell Bishop's memorials. Van Buren Mayo, and Margaret Elaine (Bandy) Mayo are my parents names. I live 1000 miles away from my family's burials, so it is difficult to get down there in person. I am hoping their online memorial will grow because of my friends here on findagrave. Make sure you visit my virtual cemeteries as well, I have quite a few set up and plan on adding more names and burials as I go. Thanks in advance, and remember, feel free to write. You can also check out my facebook page, listed above, and feel free to join my Bishop group there or on Yahoo, or both. I also run a group called Justice: Missing or Murdered on Facebook, that you are welcome to join as well. | |
