And then there were 99 little green leaves waving

Who can resist a waving green leaf??

I know I can't.

Not all match up of course but I did find a couple

of very interesting ones.

Find a grave is always a plus - and there were

several found that a couple of

to the 4th great grandfathers and uncles were officers in

the American Revolution and Civil Wars and I'm looking into the deets

as they have markers in special cemeteries.

And then....

there are other trees out there that have stuff 

from other relatives pursing some of the same lineage

and they have stuff

I don't have and vice versa and

 its so cool to find them.

That's what happened here.

 The to the 4th great grandmother - photos were uncovered

as well as children, grandchildren info and

the fact that one's 4th great grandmother Mary Lockwood McCormick

Mockler that lived to 87 years old,  had 17 children

(I so can't imagine) 

and remarried when she was 42.

 On a scrappy note I'm not happy with the recollections gold mist.

 This is a photo with her granddaughters from her

son Wm Carpenter McCormick.

Amanda Alice was the daughter with wife Elizabeth Arnold

and Lily and Ella were the children of wife Emaline Eve Christman.

 Can you believe this find. 

This is also a photo of Mary Lockwood McCormick

they think is around the time of the Civil War

and that patch on her sleeve indicates she

had 3 sons in the military.

I love this kind of stuff and it totally blows me away the information out there.

It really makes them come alive and photos are da bomb.

My heritage albums went from a pre-binded album

to be individually removed and installed in a 3 ring 8.5x11 binder.

Actually 2 binders.

I also found birth and death certificates and some

new tombstones-always interesting to see where they are buried.

It tells of their religious inclination.

Both pages are Basic Grey persimmon line.

The majority of my pages in the original album was Basic Grey -

really really really old BG lines...

And their stories continue.
