My Grandpa (Hance Raulerson) gave me a Bible when I graduated from High School in 1964. I put every piece of information I could in it (starting with the information in his Bible). Then I went with my Mother to a Starling Family Reunion (my Mother's Aunt Mary). Meeting this lady changed my life, she was 74 years old at the time. That's when I got interested in genealogy. Through the years I have met people who have helped me on my way, starting with Virgel Raulerson, Casey Dinkins, 'Gene' Barber, Loyce Knabb (book), and Gene Hodnett, this man was unbelievable. We went to a Hodnett Family Reunion. I took my Copying machine and was trying to get copies of this mans work, I was in our camper and he came up and said "Sue you are missing the Family Reunion You can take my papers home and copy them send them back if you want to". This was the first time I had ever met this man (yes, I took them Home when I finished I sent them back special delivery). I do not take credit for my work in genealogy, I just give credit and thanks to all those folks who have helped me through the years. I started looking at Find A Grave for my parents Memorial and got hooked. I joined so I could put flowers on my parents grave. Also, I put in at lot of information on these flowers notes. I went back looking and the folks that created my Daddy's Memorial, Alton & Loudonia, had turned the Memorial over to me. I felt like I did in1964 and that's over 48 years ago. To me it brings families back together. Thank You Alton & Loudonia.
(If I have created any duplicated Memorial if they are first I will delete mine. I do not like duplicated it make things complicated) People are coping each other records. They don't know the real hard work, time, money that they have paid for court records. A few of the names that decade their work in Genealogy is Loyce Knabb, Virgel Raulerson, Gene Barber, Casey Dinkins, Gene Hodnett. Ancestry needs to take control.
