OH! Suzanna...What's in a name?

Now, I was not named after any one in particular but it is fun to do genealogy and find there were so many interesting characters with my name back through the years in our family.

Here is a copy of a genealogy done long ago on a part of my father's family that lived way way back over 100 years ago.....




Possibly THAT Susannah was just as mouthy as I and the Indians thought that instead of kill her and bring a host of bad medicine on themselves they would just release her to go back to her people and cause them more harm with her PRESENCE  than with her ABSENCE.....

sigh....OH! Suzanna.

Visit your local library, history museum, Family History Center or Genealogy Center and start your journey into family stories you never knew existed.

Another good resource is to visit Facebook and look for any genealogy pages on areas that your ancestors lived in. My family has connected with quite a few distant cousins we had not heard from in possibly 30 years this way.

Here is one that is from the Jackson County, Kentucky group page and where I got the graphic above:

The next one I will try to find is on Stamping Ground,Scott County, Kentucky.

You never know what you will find.
