CHASTITY's Comments

Thanks very much, Chastity. That looks very promising for a family connection. I visited the Hockaday School website, downloaded their video, and emailed a staff member to ask for their founder's (Ela Hockaday) family history.

Sorry about the typos. I never catch the darn things until after I've already posted.

Anyway, my first cousin lives in Plano and her daughter and son-in-law live in Katy. Her other two children are still in CA. My dad's side of the family, the Joneses, is much smaller than my mom's side but scattered from the east cost to the west cost. Mom's side (grandparents descedents), which is at least 5 times as big as dad's side, for the most part are all right there in my hometown in NC.l

Thanks, Chastity. I JUST found out about the site through Anderson Cooper 360.

I forgot to add that some of my Jones cousins are in TX but they migrated there. My first cousin is originally from FL and here daughter was born and grew up in CA. My first cousin and her husband moved to TX over ten years ago. Seems like they were there hardly no time when her husband was diagnosed with brain cancer. Her daughther recently got married and is expecting my first cousins first and probably only grandchild.

Chastity,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. My granddad was a Jones but the surname name comes from his mother. My granddad Jones' line is my one line that I doubt I will ever get back much further than him, yet on my dad's side that's the one I want the most because we / I know the least about it. I've only found who I think is my great-grandmother on one census and even that doesn't say she's my granddad's mother. I have a post about my great grandmother on the blog I'm doing for dad's side of the family, (www.conversationswithmyancestors.blogspot.com), if you want to check it out.

Excellent! Let's compare notes! Are you looking in South Carolina as well?

wow Chastity, i dont recall having any ancestors in Texas but we can stilll callaborate and c what we can come up with alright??????

Wow Hi Chastity, Thank You for the welcome did you have any family from Mississippi???????? Or Virginia?????

Hi and thanks for the welcome. While CRABTREE sounds rare, there around 23,000 of us. There was another Michael CRABTREE that played for Texas Tech
last year. He was an outstanding wide reciever and there was Eric CRABTREE who played for Cinn. I am caucation but I have met quite a few African-Amerrican
CRABTREE. Thanks for your input and I will be happy to be your friend.

I am pleased to join everyone.

I have not seen any Bair. Only Baer, Bear, Pare, Bare, Etc. Most of mine is in PA.

That is so wonderful!

Have you any info on the connection between the Hockaday School and the Hockaday Family? My mother's maiden name was Hockaday - she was born 1898 in Lydney, Gloucestershire.

Thank you for the birthday wishes! BTW - I agree with the Germany factor. My father is Scottish, but has a distinctly German name. No one knows why - it goes back several generations. Unusual name, as well. The reason behind the name died along with my grandfather - he would never discuss it. One of the many mysteries we find researching......
Happy day, and enjoy that gorgeous baby! Georgeia

thank you Chasity. but not as pretty as your baby..... Bet you are one happy camper...

Thank you Chastity! What a pretty baby...

I must confess, Chastity, a co-worker did that for me. Little did he know that I would use it for the world to see! Quite appropriate for this forum!
