What you will find here.
Family News
Here you will meet some of the nicest, funniest, kindest, generous, hospitable, creative, strongest, most faithful, good looking, hard working, "salt of the earth" folks on the planet.
Here you can share your Life Events, announcements, Births, Marriages, Loved ones passing, retirement, graduation, first tooth and more with people you have a connection with.
Genealogy Here you just might finally be able to answer the questions, "Where did I come from?" and "How did I end up in Tishomingo, Oklahoma?" by following our ancestors migration on the Maps link. If you link to the Charts you will find our Pedigree and Descendant charts. The Docs is where we keep a scanned copy of all those priceless documents we dug up proving our lineage. (From a Genealogist perspective these documents are the building blocks that build a bridge from the present to the past.)
The Surname list makes it easier for those searching for their families to see if the person they are looking for might be mentioned here.
The Forms are a very convenient way to record your information in an orderly manner. You can print the Family Group Sheet, for example, to record you and your parents, your spouse and their parents, your children and their spouses, vital information as a unit or a link in the great chain. You can also print a Pedigree form to fill in for yourself or your grandchild showing your direct line.
The Related Links are internet links to sits like Ancestry.com and Find-a-grave.com. and other sites we have found helpful.
The Ancestors Each person in our "Family Tree" played some part or influence in some way who we are today, just as you will influence those your life comes in contact with effecting future generations. In these pages we have gathered everything we know about this person to tell their story.

52 Q & A Have you ever wondered what your grandmother was like at your age? What did my grandpa think about the world he lived in? How did my great-great-grand mother manage a household on the frontier with 16 children? Would you be surprised to find out you have a lot in common with your Aunt Martha? If only you could read their Diary. This page, 52 Q & A, stands for 52 Questions in 52 Weeks, one of the simplest ways I have found to actually write your own life story in a year. Simply by answering one question a week. The 52 questions are posted. Don't panic! I'm not asking you to confess all your sins or to write a NY Times best seller, just answer the question. I found that as I answered the question, memories began to flow. "Go with the flow". Just imagine you and I are sitting across the kitchen table with a cup of coffee, just visiting. You can always come back later and add more details and photos.
Recipes Our family's culture can be interpreted by the food we eat. Some our best memories are connected to food in one way or another. Wouldn't you just love to taste Granny McGill's Coconut Cake again? Aunt Troy's Chocolate Cake, Or Aunt Mildred's Green Bean Casserole with the French fried onions on top. Chances are one of the cousins still has that recipe and is willing to share it here. This is also the place to share your very popular Pot Luck Casserole, New Year's Black Eyed Pea Salad, Clam Dip and the story or memory attached to it. When we get enough recipies, we can print our own Family Recipe Book to use and pass down to the next generation.
Kin-Folk These are families that are related by marriage. The Coffman and Sharp lines on Granny McGill's side, the Palmer and Spradling line, my Mom's side of the family and many others because we are all related in one way or another. (And I can't afford the time or money to manage a website for each family line.)
