Life's Weaving - Ann's Items - About my genealogy

My genealogy started with my immediate surnames: Glasgow, Hester, Tompkins, Hooper. Then the next ancestor surnames: Todd, James, Thompson, Bolton. And on to: Girffith, Henry, Britton, Boyles, Richardson, Crow (Crowel), Hunnicutt, Jones, and so on.

After compiling my data, I placed it on-line at RootsWeb in the late 1990's. Since that time, many surnames have been added to my database through contacts on-line, the U. S. Postal Service, Family History Books no longer published, and personal research . I soon realized that my database was encompassing many surnames of settlers who came to Franklin County, Alabama. As my database progressed, I have continued to add Franklin County Surnames through contacts, census and other sources.

Most of my personal ancestry had already been researched and data had been passed down through family group sheets and compiled information in old Family History books, papers or Bibles. I am disabled and income prevents me from research as I would truly like to do, so I contribute what I can through compiling what I have and sharing it with others. Errors are corrected as time goes on and they are found. New data is added in the same manner. Throughout this endeavor, I have met many wonderful people who wanted to share their family research through my database on-line. And many who have found a starting place for their own research.

This has been an extremely rewarding project for me and I have received much enjoyment from the new technology of sharing through the Internet. If one person has been helped by this, then it has been well worth my time.

A Link in Time

From lands and seas that I shall never know,
complex roads have merged their path to me.
Translucent threads of ancient lives before
interwove this web which is my pedigree.

Cultures of many nations formed the loom,
and laced the strands of fiber to evolve
a potpourri of souls who braved the path
of destiny with passion and resolve.

And now this fertile ribbon which I weave
a plait to braid and join the next in line;
people and histories which I may only dream
may know about this link in time that's mine.©
