Thank you ,I have one of Aunt Spicie ,but none of Green,you have been so helpful to me
You bet. My pleasure to do it. I would like to hear your family memories.
I really don’t have many memories,due to the fact my dad left my mother when I was 6 months old ,never saw my father more than 6 times thru the years ,was raised by my step-father Red Spurlock who was a Bluegrass banjo player,and business owner of a glass shop in Fairborn Ohio,I I was an only child by my mom and real dad.But dad had 7 more children and all have different mothers,some married to some not .7 girls 1 brother ,.Sounds like Grandma Angeline and her daughter Tillie which is my dads grandmother.I didn’t know any of my family and started asking on the internet ,leaving posts messages etc. And Glenna Epling saw them,contacted me and met me in West Va ,near her home and gave me pictures of our family that she got copied for me ,she doesn’t know how much I loved her for that ,wonderful lady and cousin.Thats why I am trying to find as much as I can ,on my family have been doing this for awhile and alot gets confusing.This site of yours has helped a lot ,I am hoping to get to the reunion they have next yr for sure
