My Very Own Genealogy
RESEARCH Page

This area contains my genealogy information as it has been gleaned from many sources; family books, the Web, and other members of my family. I was amazed to discover how much interest there is in my own family about our roots. I must say a special thank you to my Uncle Dan Hunt and his wife, Aunt Carol; during one of the most unhappy circumstances in my life, I met them and found we had a common interest: Genealogy. They provided me with a lot of the information I'm sharing today.

There are several families that I am researching: Cole, Pawson, McFarland, Talbot, Watkins and Hunt. Both lines (my father and my mother) appear to have Irish/English (even Scottish) roots; my mother also has a Russian line. The Cole family has one branch that has been here since the early 1600's; the other branches appear to have come to America between then and the mid 1800's.

Join me on my quest to find out who I am, and maybe you will see your own ancestors, too. Perhaps we aren't so different after all.
