A Week Of Birthday Fun!

My husband and I captured some lovely pictures this past Sunday during a family gathering we had for our daughter. Ladybug is turning 8 this week! I know E-I-G-H-T?!!!! Good Grief time goes by too fast.

 If you want to see her earliest moments take a look at this post. From then until now, we've enjoyed every moment of watching this beautiful spirit grow up.

    The cake is looking delicious and I am glad that your girl enjoyed her family time. I am also thinking to plan a small holiday party for my kids this summer. Can help me by telling where I should start planning for it.

He brought to my attention a deed which documents the sale of about an acre land from a woman named Charity Ambrose  to the trustees of Mt. Olive AME Zion Church in Riverdale, NC. Guess who's listed among the trustees. My maternal 3rd great grandfather and his son, Mortimer and Alfred Mitchell.

Week 6: Surprise
What is something surprising that you've found in your research? What is a surprise that one of your ancestor's had? Have you found something in a surprising place?

Back in May of 2016, I was surprised to discover another child of my maternal 3rd great grandparents Cesar and Mary Jones. His name was Carolina Hauckins. He was born February 23, 1844 in Onslow County, NC enslaved to a man who's surname was "Hauckins or Hawkins" You can read more about how I discovered Carolina in these posts:
