Bio and Links
Bio Photo I have been a genealogist for 27 years. I was born in Kansas and grew up in Kansas until I was a sophomore in high school. We then moved to Des Moines, Iowa where I finished high school. I have lived all over the country and traveled in 43 states. I love the history of our country and studying my families along with their friends and neighbors. I keep a huge database of families because I track them as they travel westward. I have helped many people find their ancestors because I have a gift at tracking families, so I want to share that with others. I don't always find everyone, but my percentage rate is at least 95% of the time. They call me the sleuth!! One of my friends once told me "ya can't hide from you!"

My father was adopted in 1920 and I found our biological family in 1992 when he was 72 years old. I am willing to help adoptees try to find their families, especially the stolen children of Georgia Tann of the Tennessee Children's Home Society in Memphis, Tennessee.

I recently completed research for Hewitt Clarke's new book, "Money and Blood" and am currently doing research for another new book he's going to publish. The story features a section on the family of Filmore Johnson and his wife, Betty Levy and the self made million, Robert Johnson who started BET television, whom is a descendant of Filmore Johnson.

RE: Bryant - Prevett
Not related, but Ed Bryant, was a good friend and my first real boss at a paying job. He'll be missed. I just wanted to tie folks together as I could, and I saw all those PREVETTs and PREVETTEs you gathered. I'll let you mind those since you're there local. Thanks so much for all you did.

Valentine Branscom
Hello,
I changed the burial location for Valentine and Sallie to the Monte Vista Cemetery. I made a note on both that they were moved from the George W Miller Cemetery.

As for Sallie's maiden name, I don't know where the Tipton comes from. I have no record of her marring after Valentine's death.

Carolyn,
Thank you for the correction on Tom's birthday. He and I were friends in Tennessee decades ago, and even though I hadn't seen him in a number of years, I was deeply saddened by his death. Thanks also for providing the picture.
