My research has branched out to include the maternal lines as well as the in-laws! I couldn't stop. When I would reach a brick wall with my direct lines, off I would go on the ladies, then when I returned to my lines the brick wall would fall. So, I guess the genealogy God is telling me give so you can get. I really do get a lot of other people finding their family in my data and the gratitude expressed to me by them is awesome. They cannot believe someone would bother to include the family of the wife and even the siblings and their kids!

My main lines are Pirtle, which has been spelled so many ways you just have to go see my home page. ;-)

I spend vacations riding out to Texas and with my GPS and MapQuest I locate old country cemeteries and locate my kin. Last year I found my Great Grandmother Anna Virginia Simmons Perkins and her son who died in the 1917 flu epidemic and her mother, my Great Grandmother Rebecca Jones Simmons in Old South Church Cemetery, Nevada, Collin Co., TX. I have photos and will post them as I have time.

I also have all the Pirtle graves in High Cemetery, Van, Van Zandt Co., TX which I will be posting soon. Thank you for all the work that has been done. I found birth and death dates I didn't have!

It helps to be ADHD for real.
