Adding Additional Primary Sources

The past 2 days, I have copied one will, 2 marriage licenses, some photos of gravesites, and other family history from my brother in law's genealogy file. While none of the information is about my ancestors, it is helpful in the search of the ancestors of my husband's and children's ancestors. I was surprised to find that my brother in law had some of this information as far back as 1992. Had no idea that he was working on this while he was not yet retired from his full time work! Every little bit of information helps!

The Edwards Connection

Back in October 2009, I failed to mention that my husband and I flew to the Atlanta area to attend the Edwards family reunion. This was my husband's ancestors, and he is a great great grandson of the couple honored by this occasion. Fast forward to February 18, 2010. Our first grandson was born, and his parents chose to give him the middle name of Edwards....in honor of these ancestors. He is a great great great great grandson of this couple!
