I'm making Progress!!

As many people know, I have been working on geneology for the past couple of years.  I created a family history scrapbook.  It's beautiful!  I love it and have flipped through it so many times. 

But I'm not even close to finished.  I am now working on my husbands side of the family.  I've recently been in touch with my father in law's cousin who tells me that she's got photo's that she was supposed to share with the rest of the family.  I haven't seen them yet but I am looking forward to getting them.

I've also found a distant relation on my side of the family.  She has sent me a diary of my great-great-great grandmother's.  She's also sent me some photo's of the cemetery where this same 3rd great grandmother and her husand and his parents are buried. 
Isn't it beautiful?  It's called the Tall Cedars Cemetery in Tinsleybottom, TN.  It's very small and old but that just adds to the charm doesn't it? Tinsleybottom, TN was an area in Tennessee that my ancestors settled.  Their name was Tinsley of course.

I'll say it again....I love Geneology!

    1. Me too Marti! That particular headstone is from the late 1700's/early 1800's. I love how green it is in those pictures.
