A fifty year old Christmas Card greeting being sent from my family one more time just as it was in 1958. Merry Christmas all…

I’ll be doing the family bit for the next couple of days. Y’all enjoy the holiday and I’ll catch ya on the other side…

The aftermath of Hurricain Ike has left me with little time for continuing the update process of my genealogy…As the year winds down and the cleanup becomes less of an issue I hope to continue with what was a work in progress once more.

My friends researching Cox-West-Whitt-Pearson and related families have been busy though. Lots of new data to pour through and input into the database…It will be added as checked…

Happy Papaw with newest addition to the family tree…

And with beaming Grandma

And shortly it’ll be back to the hospital.

When I started updating these pages and posting documentation and images on my site, I didn’t imagine the time frame involved. After spending all of my free time over a four day weekend doing a data dump (when I wasn’t getting caught following intriguing leads into research wonderland), I am beginning to realize just how much I have stashed on multiple hard drives.

My biggest problem seems to be that I don’t save low res anything. All of the old photos I have were scanned in at 900dpi. My documents convert put at megabytes per page not kilobytes. It all makes for great research tools as you can zoom in untill that lousy handwriting is semi-legible, but the download times are l-o-n-g and the display runs off the page. I can see I’ll be resizing many of these images again in the near future, but for now…I’ll just get them uploaded.

I am trying to spread the love by not concentrating on just one family. So you will be seeing things added to multiple family lines over the coming weeks…Bear with me, this is going to take a while…
