Hello Family Members,

I thought I would start with a few files called Descendants files.  The descendants file starts with the oldest member of that family name, in my database and lists all of his descendants.

I am going to start with the descendants file for the Seufferlein's and the Goree's, next post (in a week or so) I should follow up with the Harrison's and Shimer's.

Seufferlein:  First and foremost I would like to give a great big thank you to our cousin, Ed Seufferlein who lives in Cedar Falls, Iowa.  Ed has done a tremendous amount of research about the Seufferlein Family and was able to trace our ancestors all the way back to the 1500's!  He was very generous to share all of his data with me.  I was able to merge his database with mine which allows me to now share some wonderful information regarding our family members.

To the left is an article about Ed and his wife regarding their 50th wedding anniversary.  Ed has not only shared his family database with me he has also shared lots and lots of pictures.  I will be posting some of those pictures periodically so please keep checking back to this blog.  The oldest Seufferlein I have in my database is Johann Seufferlein and you can read/print his descendants file by going to this link:  Johann Seufferlein Descendants.  Keep in mind I don't have a lot of the more recent data, for example, I don't even have my own Great Grandchildren in there.  I will be catching up and adding more data as I get it and when I do I will re-post the descendants file.  If you should see something that needs correcting please let me know.

Bertha Harrison Goree and Sister Blanche

Goree:  When the Goree's came to the US their names were spelled differently.  The original Goree's name was spelled Gaury.  Jean Gaury is the oldest Goree in my database.  He was born about 1645 in France and died in the US 1709.

The picture to the left is a picture of my Grandmother (Nana), Bertha Lucille Harrison and her twin Sister, Blanche C. Harrison.  My Grandmother married my Grandfather (Papa), Lilbourn Lidell Goree, in 1924.

You will find lots and lots of interesting data regarding the Goree family.  I want to thank one of our relatives, Paul Goree, for sharing his wealth of information and data file about the Goree's, without him I wouldn't have near as much as I have to share with you.

To see the descendants file of  Jean Gaury go to this link:  Jean Gaury Descendants

I want both the Seufferlein's and the Goree's to know that I haven't done a lot of current research.  It's been a long long time since I have played with our genealogy but I do plan on trying to spend some more time on it.  Again.... if you should see any information that doesn't look right please let me know and I will do some research and try to get it corrected.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask and I hope you enjoy what I have to share with all of you.

Warm Regards,
Gemma
