Welcome to Southern-Style Genealogy

This is rather an extensive website including everything from genealogy to recipes.  In order to locate the individual you may be seeking this web search may be what you need.  In revamping the website, unfortunately, the titles to the pages got renamed and so some hyperlinks may no longer be accurate.  Forgive me if this has caused you problems.  It is my purpose to make the research I have done available to you as others have done for me.  If you acquire information that will add to our body of knowledge, please share it with us.  Also, if you have pictures of common ancestors, I would also like to add those to my collection.  There is information on just about every page from sources from the Internet to libraries across the country.  Consider my quotations from these websites and go back to the source for more complete information. Also it is unfortunate, but in transferring information into my FTM I sometimes typed very quickly and not very accurately.  When that was transferred to the website the errors compounded.  I am trying to fix that, but it is taking time.  As for hiding dates?  I have decided the information is already out there somewhere so if someone wants to do us harm with that information they have already got access to it.  Even our drivers licenses are online.  So, from now on, I do not suggest using parents names as a log in for anything.

How Green Was My Valley

Courage came to me from the height of the mountain and with it came the dignity of manhood, and knowledge of the Tree of Life, for now I was a branch, running with the vital blood, waiting in the darkness of the Garden for some unknown Eve to tempt me with the apple of her beauty, that we might know our nakedness, and bring forth sons and daughter to magnify the Lord our God.

  I saw behind me those who had gone, and before me, those who are to come.  I looked back and saw my father, and his father, and all our fathers, and in front, to see my son and his son, and the sons upon sons beyond.

And their eyes were my eyes.

        As I felt, so they had felt, and were to feel, as then, so now, as tomorrow and for ever.   Then I was not afraid, for I was in a long line that had no beginning, and no end, and the hand of his father grasped my father's hand,  and the hand was in mine, and my unborn son took my right hand, and all, up and down the line that stretched from Time That Was, to Time That Is, and Is Not Yet raised their hands to show the link, and we found that we were one, born of Woman, Son of Man, had in the Image, fashioned in the Womb by Will of God, the Eternal Father.

A LITTLE GENEALOGY HUMOR
  or
 GENEALOGY PROVERBS I'VE HEARD/READ AND BORROWED (Pat Greathouse of Pike County)
 
  Can a first cousin, once removed, return?
 
  Cemetery: (n) A marble orchard not to be taken for granite.
 
  Crazy .... is a relative term in MY family.
 
  Genealogy: Chasing your own tale!
 
  Genealogy: It's all relative in the end anyway.
 
  Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people.
 
  I trace my family history so I will know who to blame.
 
  It's hard to be humble with ancestors like mine!
 
  Life takes it's toll. Have exact change ready!
 
  Searching for lost relatives? Win the Lottery!
 
  That's strange; half my ancestors are WOMEN!
 
  Do I even WANT ancestors? Some I found I wish I could lose.
 
  Every family tree has some sap in it.
 
  FLOOR: (n) The place for storing your priceless genealogy records.
 
  Friends come and go, but relatives tend to accumulate.
 
  Genealogists do it in the library.
 
  Genealogists live in the past lane.
 
  Genealogists never die, they just loose their roots.
 
  Genealogy: A hay stack full of needles. It's the threads I need.
 
  Genealogy: Collecting dead relatives and sometimes a live cousin!
 
  Genealogy: Where you confuse the dead and irritate the living.
 
  Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools!
 
  I looked at my family tree ... there were two dogs using it.
 
  I think my family tree is a few branches short of full bloom.
 
  Life is lived forwards, but understood backwards.
 
  My ancestors are hiding in a witness protection program.
 
  My family tree is a few branches short!
 
  Research: What I'm doing, when I don't know what I'm doing.
 
  Take nothing but ancestors, leave nothing but records.
 
  Theory of relativity: If you go back far enough, we're all related.
 
  "May you ask the right question of the right person at the right time."
 
  "Genealogy it's not just a hobby, it's a way of life!"
