Young and Savvy Genealogists. Young and Savvy Genealogists Facebook Group. The Fenity Family Bible. I spoke on the phone with Aunt Shirley today, and got some amazing tidbits I didn't know. She told me that her father was in the National Guard during WWII, which may actually be good news. Aside from managing to avoid active combat and to stay with his family, his records may have survived that fire in the National Personnel Records Center. I can confirm that this page of marriages is written in Annie Ror...

Family Stories: Photographs and Memories: Wordless Wednesday - Shepherd Siblings
http://familystoriesphotographsandmemories.blogspot.com/2015/05/wordless-wednesday-shepherd-siblings.html
Family Stories: Photographs and Memories. Thursday, May 14, 2015. Wordless Wednesday - Shepherd Siblings. This is a picture of my father Malcolm Lloyd Shepherd and his siblings Nancy and Colin, which was probably taken about 1932. Their parents were Christina Sterland Lee. And Malcolm Michael Shepherd. Unfortunately, their father, Mac, died in 1932. As a result of injuries he received in a logging accident. As I look at this picture, I wonder if it was taken before or after the death of their father.

Young and Savvy Genealogists. Young and Savvy Genealogists Facebook Group. Lynchburg: A City Directory, A Pair of Shoes, and the Great Depression. After a long hiatus from working on my genealogy, sometimes the hardest question for me to answer is where to start again. But if time and experience have taught me anything, it's that you can't really go wrong. Start anywhere. No matter how much you think you know about anyone, there is always more you can learn. What can we glean from that one line? Well, we...
