Bio and Links
Bio Photo I have been involved with the geneology of my family since 1995. And it is thru the research of my families that i learned that my mom and my wife are 4th cousins! So if you do the math you will know the added relationships i have with my children!!!! Geneology is a challenge, it is a passion to some more than others to know who has come before us. Where they lived, where they walked and worked, went to church, were married and the list goes on and on. In my tree i know the names of all my great great grandparents and from there it gets lean on a few branches of the tree. On the branches i have my forefathers back ten generations and some more, which to me is exciting! Along with Geneology i have another passion for photography, so when i had the opportunity to photograph grave sites in my community for others, i take it as a challenge to seek them out and photograph them to share with others in search of them. I look forward to the day when the names of those buried in cemeteries across the country will be catloged and photographed for all of us to share!

My family names consist of: Truitt, Strong, Granger, Lawler, Collier, Hall, Morgan, Cooper, Godwin, Sims, Posey, Farley, Davis, Frost, Gurganus, Earnest, McLaughlin, Dickey, Hawkins, Kilgore, Smallwood, Coupland, Foote, Bishop, Rakestraw and Buckelew.

My online family tree can be viewed on ancestry.com by searching Purnell Truitt Family JWT.

I just read your messages. I got busy yesterday and never sent you an email on the Colliers. I will try to DO SO today.

I forgot to mention that I am descended from the Sims, Kilgore (Killgore), and Earnest families. I wonder if we have mutual relatives. I grew up not far brom Birmingham.

I will send you an email re the Colliers. Benjamin F. Collier was married twice. John W. H. was a son from his first marriage and James A. was from his second marriage.

You are welcome. I knew it was a typo as I make a few myself. :) I do have Collier ancestors, but I have never been able to connect them to Vines Collier's line. Your line is also my ex-husband's as you share an ancestor. If you go to my virtual cemetery, his father was Roy Mason Collier; grandfather was John H. Collier; great grandfather was John W. H. Collier; and GG Grandfather was Benjamin F. Collier. If I can answer any genealogy questions on the family, email me at jobi0618@knology.net anytime.

Joe Urse
I was only to happy to go look for Joe Urse's stone.
I knew them through Green Lakes. Good memories of them from there. And I remember how lost Joe was when Jennie died.

RE: Cousins?
I come through Johannes Shriver's daughter, Anna Eva who married Christophel Bankert/Beuckert. Those period of "German" immigrants and a bit later used first-middle names such that the first name was their "Christian name" and their middle name was what they commonly went by.

Cousins?
Yes, Johannes Shriver. I link up to him three differant ways ;-) That happened in those parts of MD and PA. After the War, my VA folks went up and helped "mix-up" the gene-pool. It seems your AL folks also helped with the gene-pool.

Cousin?
If you tie into the Shrivers or others of Adams & York PA and Carroll Co MD, we may be cousins.

RE: Lucille Shriver
Lucille T. Shriver b. 20 July 1907 d. 10 July 1991. She is next to Robert C. Shriver b. 14 Sept 1908 d. 17 July 1986. They are in St. John Luthern Church Cem. in Littlestown, Adams Co., PA.
I went ahead and took their tombstone photo when I was there. Let me know when you make your adjustments and photo request(s) and I'll add it.

RE: Erma Rhone & Paralee Wyatt
You are most welcome, Wes. We [my sis & I] are concentrating our photo-taking efforts on the "country" cemeteries as fewer people seem to visit them. We're probably going out again before the end of the week.
