2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 30 – Teams

Posted on August 2, 2022August 2, 2022 by Diane Faulk

This week’s theme is “Teams.” Did any ancestors play on a team (or root for one)? Don’t forget about teams at work. There are also teams of horses and oxen.  Training camp started this week for the pro football teams, and my favorite team is the Philadelphia Eagles. My husband Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 29 – Fun Fact

Posted on July 26, 2022July 26, 2022 by Diane Faulk

This week’s theme is “Fun Fact.” Not everything in family history has to be serious.   July 24th was our 51st Wedding Anniversary. We celebrated it with a couple of our friends. Fun fact #1 is I only knew my husband five weeks before we married. We met on June Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 28 – Character

Posted on July 19, 2022July 19, 2022 by Diane Faulk

The theme for this week was “character.” To me, your character is your attitude, behavior, and beliefs. I struggled with this one. I thought you couldn’t find a person’s character for someone you do not know, but that is not true. My paternal grandfather married in Alabama when he already Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 27 – Extended Family

Posted on July 13, 2022July 13, 2022 by Diane Faulk

Growing up, my grandmother always talked about her cousin Fannie Dotson. I believe Fannie was living in Athens, Alabama, at that time. Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of meeting cousin Fannie, but I did meet her daughter and granddaughter. Attending a Genealogy Conference in Denver allowed me to meet Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 26 – Identity

Posted on July 2, 2022July 3, 2022 by Diane Faulk

The theme for Week 26 (June 28-July 4) is “Identity.” In genealogy, we seek out the identities of our ancestors. But they were more than just names. I believe we develop our values, beliefs, and our personality in childhood. My values come from my upbringing with my maternal grandparents. They were Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 25 – Broken Branch

Posted on June 27, 2022June 27, 2022 by Diane Faulk

There are multiple meanings for a “Broken Branch” family member. I am claiming it as “life cut short.”  “Broken Branch” means a child could have lived a day or up to 16 years of age. Due to the loss of records for births under 10, I don’t have many children identified. Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 24 – Popular Name

Posted on June 20, 2022June 20, 2022 by Diane Faulk

I decided to use my 2021 Week 10’s theme “Name’s the Same” for the Week 24’s “Popular Name” theme. The name selected is “Robert Barbee,” my 2nd great-grandfather, who married Martha Ella Quinn, 1877 in Madison County, Alabama. Robert Barbee (1834-1928) had a son, Samuel, by his first wife, Amanda Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 23 – Mistakes

Posted on June 11, 2022June 12, 2022 by Diane Faulk

This week’s theme is Mistakes. We all make them — and that includes us and our ancestors. Sometimes mistakes are out of our control, and sometimes, mistakes are a blessing. Here are some of the things that happen to me: [1] The students lined up alphabetically during my high school Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 22 – Conflict

Posted on June 2, 2022June 2, 2022 by Diane Faulk

My maternal grandfather always claimed that his father’s surname was Lanier. He even gave his children the middle name Lanier. Ever since I started Genealogy, I have been researching James Lanier, first husband of my great grandmother Rosa Barbee. In May 1901, his mother, Rosa, married James Lanier in Morgan Continue Reading

2022 – #52 Ancestors Challenge – Week 21 – Yearbook

Posted on May 25, 2022May 25, 2022 by Diane Faulk

I want to share my experience in researching Yearbooks. First, I was looking for a picture of my husband in high school. So I looked at U.S. School Yearbooks, 1900 – 1999, for Booker T. Washington High School. I found a picture, but it wasn’t him. So I went to Continue Reading
