This is more of a recent interest of mine, but it looks like it's gonna continue to keep me occupied for a while. I'll try to post any interesting news I might discover about my family history...


Recent Discoveries

  • A while back I decided to create a surname group for the Summerlins on the Ancestry dna site. I believe this link will get you there:  Summerlins of South Georgia
     
  • It seems I'm starting to get a fair amount of family researchers contacting me with/about information about my family history research. This is really nice for me; it seems I've got a lot of "cousins" out there!...
     
  • I've discovered some interesting relationships within my family tree. Probably the most exciting to me is an (apparent) relationship between my 4th Great-Grandmother on my father's side and my 3rd Great-Grandmother on my mother's side - it looks like they were sisters! Now, think about this for a minute:  there's my Dad's paternal line (the Summerlins way back) and my mother's paternal line (the Newberns way back), that's 5-6 generations of ancestors ago, who married sisters! It also appears that these families may have been neighbors. I wonder what these people would think if they could know that their grandchildren would one day be married?
