Documentation:
* My main sources are from living with most of these family members.
* SSDI, census, birth, marriage and death records from Georgia, Texas & Arkansas.
* And the LDS Family History Center, Lamar Co (TX) Genealogy Library and Texarkana, USA Genealogy Society.
* My sources started (in the 1960's) with a pedigree chart a cousin had filled out using our grandmother's (Emma) Bible. I didn't do anything with it until about two years ago after I retired and then received a used PC.
