I credit my grandmother, Maggie Cruise Williams, and my parents for my love of genealogy. I would sit for hours listening to them as a small child. I started documenting everything in 1962. I recorded conversations on a tape recorder.

I love sharing family history with anyone who wishes to share with me. I am teaching my granddaughters about our genealogy.

Some of my paternal family names: Shockley, Lawson, Mason, Joyce, Philpott, Turner, Banks, Padgett, Thomas, Corn, Adams, Elrod, Edwards and Young.
Some of my maternal family names: Williams, Cruise, Ratliff, Hubbard, Rakes, DeHart, Whaling, Stegall, Helms, Foley, Lee, Spencer, Ayers, Cochran, Fuqua and Webb.

My children's paternal lines are Hawn, Rhinehart, Bolick, Goins, Michel, Dietz, Jones, Walker, Weese, Earnhardt, Orr, Garren, Laughter, Nix, Haddon, Souther, Cairnes.
