It's wonderful to be able to trace your family back that way. I've be promising myself to do a search on my own. My brother & I were foster children, knew our parents & grandparents, a few cousins but not so much the rest of the family. Don't really know much about our ancestors except that one was hanged as a highway man, and apparently our maternal grandma was related to Jesse James.

Both my great great grandfather on my mother's side and my great grand father on my father's side. My grandfather on my father's side was killed in a logging accident building that church.

Oh no the story of Barbara is a happy one. She is now young, healthy, happy and will be all through eternity. The Bible says absent on earth is presence with the Father if you are His. Well we have been made aware of all our family very closely.

Until death comes, it is never too late in this life for one to give one's heart to the Lord, but it is also best to make that decision today.

I had uncles and great uncles who were in WWI it was a horrible war. I am so sorry for all the wars. I am so glad God made some so strong to fight off the enemy or none of us would be here; however, I wish the blindly hateful, prone to kill enemy would see the lack of sense they use trying to take down Israel and America. That is the crux of most of the wars. All of it amounts to position, money or pure hate. The poor dears who go to these wars are left in such poor state after they are home again. God help all who have had to fight to preserve freedom.

That is so interesting, I have seen stories about that park in TN. it is the site of a lot of activity. My great great grandfather lost his boys and one of his daughters husbands in the Civil War. He and his other threes sons in laws and their families began this church because there were so many families around there without husbands, dads and sons. It is still visited by the families of him. My sons are buried there.

How interesting. My great grandfather and his brother helped found a Missionary Baptist Church in Tennessee after they mustered out of the Cival War due to injuries. It is still there and still holding services though it is now in the middle of the Natchez Trace State Park in TN. Somewhere I have pictures of it and its cemetary where my great-great-grandparents are buried. I was there about ten years ago.
