About the WELLMANS
Please sign in to see more. I have been working on this for many, many years and it's still a work in progress. The one piece of advice I can give anybody starting on the genealogy journey is "don't take anything for Gospel". I've found incorrect headstones, birth certificates, obituaries, even information from family members that knew other family members their entire lives and didn't know the persons real first name. If for some reason you have found information on anyone in my tree that you believe is incorrect by all means feel free to email me and I'll be happy to update what I have here. Also if you believe that you may be related to someone in my line, by all means email me and let's compare notes.
The primary lines that I have been researching are those of our grandparents:
My grandparents were:
1. Eddie Leroy Wellman 2. Vercie Opal Welch
3. Buford Harrison Daily 4. Mary Velma Warden
Katy's grandparents were:
1. Dewey William Clemmons 2. Ruby Edna Singleton
3. Bryan Eugene Williams 4. Mary Ellen Nevils
I hope you eventually find everybody your looking for and if not at least have a good time hunting. I know I sure have.
My thanks to William Coxhead for this
THE ELUSIVE ANCESTOR
I went searching for an ancestor. I cannot find him still.
He moved around from place to place and did not leave a will.
He married where a courthouse burned. He mended all his fences.
He avoided any man who came to take the Aussie Census.
He always kept his luggage packed, this man who had no fame.
And every 20 years or so, this rascal changed his name.
His parents came from Europe. They should be upon some list
of passengers to Australia, but somehow they got missed.
And no one else in this world is searching for this man.
So, I play geneasolitaire to find him if I can.
I'm told he's buried in a plot, with tombstone he was blessed;
but the weather took engraving, and some vandals took the rest.
He died before the county clerks decided to keep records.
No Family Bible has emerged, in spite of all my efforts.
To top it off this ancestor, who caused me many groans,
Just to give me one more pain, he betrothed a girl named JONES.
