I've spent the better part of 12 hours the last 2 days doing some research on Grandma White. It has been quite interesting! Having gone through mom's pictures it got my curiosity going when I came upon a few pictures of the White's. I know that Jessica has worked on this project and I would love to see what she has also. I read Grandma Stacey's obituary and it said she was born in Mt. Caramel, IL when in fact according to census forms she was born somewhere in Indiana!! Another question is how exactly did Grandma spell her name. I see where it is Stacey and then Stacy! Now these could just be mistakes by the census takers because on the 1930 census form it says Elmer Lyn instead of Lyle! You can be sure I continue on with this project, I think I'm even dreaming about it!! Tony says I obsesssed with it! Don't you just want to go back in a time machine and find out what happened back in the early 1800's and forward?
Oh well, we may never know the answers and I might just have to be content with that!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the warmer weather!

Take the census forms with a grain of salt - they are useful but also contain errors.
Trust me, genealogy in any form is totally addicting!
Give me a day or 2 and I'll email you some things.
