Being the grand-daughter of a Sexton who was born in Cainsville, Missouri, I started researching the family tree; how addictive this has become. It is like a big Suduku puzzle that needs the pieces put together. The web is an amazing place and I have been able to locate a lot of information on the family. However, at this time it seems I have more bodies than burials. Our family looks more like a roaming tribe of Gypsies that tend to pop up in some of the most unlikely of spots. Sometimes I wonder what they were thinking and what drove them to leave one place for another. For my grandparent it was the dust bowl era and the hope for a new start which carried the family farther west.

I have received a lot of help from others on the web in answering questions that come up along the way with my research. At this point I have over forty-five hundred past and present relatives accounted for. Finding an ancestor to put in the tree is a very rewarding thing. I have quite a bit to go and I feel more connected in knowing where my family came from and how we are tied together.
