ABOUT

Gay and I met on Mother’s Day, May 14, 1961 at JRs Drive In located in Lucedale, Ms.  We were married 57 days later on July 10, 1961.  Next year (2021) we will be married 60 years. We have 3 children (2 deceased), 8 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

In 1988 we/I was looking for a hobby. After sometime I suggested we try genealogy. She agreed and the next Saturday morning we arrived at the genealogy library at opening time and with a few instructions began our research.

We found lots of information on her family right away proving and disproving stories and legends we had heard over the years. I was hooked but Gay grew tired of it real quick and has never been involved since.

My family’s research was not as successful. I did not know my paternal grandfathers full name or anything else other than he was born in Wales.

I have discovered many things since that day.
