Okay, so I realize this is supposed to be wordless, but just a quick note...lol. This was taken in 2007 at the second meeting of myself and my "cousin" Charles, who is a descendant the family of my gggrandfather, Calvin Yarborough's, owner. Interestingly enough, it turns out that my grandmother, Anna, who was the wife of Calvin, Jr., was Charles' nanny when he was a young boy. He remembers her fondly and wanted to visit her grave, so here we are!
Formerly, "Just Thinking", this blog presents the thoughts and experiences of a family historian working to demystify the past and uncover the stories of an elusive ancestry. NC surnames are YARBOROUGH, NEAL, GREEN, HAWKINS, DUNSTON, DAVIS, BROWN, ROSS, HILL, BRYANT, and DAVENPORT in Franklin, Warren, Halifax, and Tyrrell Counties. With so much of my family's history shrouded in darkness, is my personal mission to uncover the hidden details of my ancestry and bring them INTO THE LIGHT.
Wow! What an amazing story! I'm glad you didn't go with "wordless" this time around. =)
ReplyDeleteThat's really what this work is all about Renate - coming together on common ground to heal the past. Ms. Anna was smiling too!:-)
