Birthdays

Birthdays are such special days... an anniversary that someone came into this world. Ninety years ago today, my Grandmother came into this world in Reyno, Randolph County, Arkansas, daughter of Lillie Kerley and James Bryan Sullivan.

I have not been actively working on my own genealogy much in the last few months, but I have been doing indexing at familysearch.org. I keep hoping it will inspire me in my own genealogy search. Since it's Grandma's birthday today, I thought I'd go look around some of my favorite websites and see if there is any new information out there for me to sift through. :)

I am not sure why I am the person that is so interested in genealogy and the search for my ancestors. It seems I come across a handful of people in each of my lines, usually further up the line or VERY distantly related, that have caught the "genealogy bug" but I've yet to have anyone in my Kerley line or Sullivan line (well, I take that back. Peggy Aston is in my line, too, through my great-grand aunt, so we are on the same line) but why can't I find descendants that have photos of my "people"?

So, I will go make my son lunch and when he takes his nap I'll get back to searching for my "people". I hope they know I am looking for them and will, perhaps, whisper a little in my ear and get me headed the right direction to find the records that must exist out there! :)
