Bio

Catherine Sivils Entman - dob 01/22/-946 - parents: the late CDR Talmadge Howard Sivils (USCG ret) (11/14/1918-LA - 03/19/2005 - TN) & SN1cl (USCG ret) (06/08/1923 OH - 03/02/2002 TN) Children - Elizabeth Ann Entman Harper - 11/09/1976 SC & Margaret Perry Entman - 01-14-1978 SC

I am kin to the Sivils, Stewarts , Nelsons, Penningtons, Ellis' & others out of south & south east MS on my father's side. We also, through the Stewarts (we're unrelated double Stewarts) have Choctaw ancestors.And one Stewart line descends from the sister of Daniel Boone & her 1st husband, John Stewart - Daniel's closest friend & hunting partner.

On mom's it would be the Woges, Travers & Degnans from Cincinnati, Dayton, Covington, KY & Mobile (Circa CW period. Either before, during or just after.) 'Woge' is German for 'wave', as in a body of water. Due to deep hostilities towards Germany during WWI, many US Germans changed either their names or their ethnicity - my family woke up one day 'decided' they were Dutch. Then, of course, WWII didn't do a thing to convince them to reconsider what they had done so it wasn't until I was well I to my 50s that Mom finally whispered - as though the FBI were listen in - the truth to me. And funny, my sister refuses to believe me.
