http://shellyfamilytree1.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

I'm Back With a Vengeance! I really haven't had the chance to update the blog in over two months. It wasn't that I had nothing to say, it's just that my focus turned to trying to solve a few of the mysteries that lie within my family history. It is unclear why she decided to marry another Harris.

Haven't Posted For Awhile . Due to a number of reasons (mostly that I lost access to my gmail account), I haven't really posted for awhile. Sad - I have been extremely busy. Over the next few weeks, I'll fill everyone in on what I have been up to. One major event occurred last weekend. My maternal grandparents, Lawrence and Grace (Mudford) Dedrick, celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary. They were married in 1941 on a hot August day in Port Burwell, Ontario. Posted by Trevor R.

Maple Creek, Saskatchewan and a Photo | Among the Trees of My Ancestors

http://shellyfamilytree1.blogspot.com/2010/05/maple-creek-saskatchewan-and-photo.html

Maple Creek, Saskatchewan and a Photo. About six months ago, my maternal Grandmother, Grace, phoned me to say that she had received a number of photographs from her cousin, Kay Jones. Kay had moved to a retirement home and wanted to give these family mementos to someone who would appreciate them. Among them was the photograph pictured to the left. So, is this a school photograph or something else. I see a young woman who may be Orpha Pearl Mudford (1899-? Posted by Trevor R. Shelly. Austin W. Mudford.

The Al Feere Comment | Among the Trees of My Ancestors

http://shellyfamilytree1.blogspot.com/2010/05/al-feere-comment.html

The Al Feere Comment. My first avenue was to mail a letter to Reverand Alan Feere of Stoney Creek. A couple of weeks ago, the letter was returned. I thought that my chances of making a connection had failed and I was doomed to not know the Feere side of the story. Last night, I checked on my Blogger dashboard, and lo' and behold, there was a comment from Al Feere from 22 March 2010! Posted by Trevor R. Shelly. July 24, 2010 at 3:19 PM.

When I was a bride in my twenties (many years ago), my husband and I stopped at a farm in Locust Grove, Iowa, on a cross-country trip to the East Coast.

Breathe Life into Your Life Story. There are Book Signings… and Then There are Book Signings. June 26, 2014. I was so pleased I had been asked to signed books after I spoke at Jamboree a few weeks ago. Jamboree is an annual genealogy conference sponsored by the Southern California Genealogy Society at the Burbank Marriott. It’s one of the biggies. So, I sold and signed what I thought was a respectable amount of books–for me. […]. Tagged as: Dawn Parrett Thurston. Southern California Genealogy Society.
