I thought I would update you the reader on my recent research. I like keeping my cousins updated and blogging about my research helps to keep me focused.
The White Family Line: I have been working with another White family researcher (descendant of Albert White of Surry County, NC) to attempt to trace our White family back. Multiple White lines and re-used given names make this research particularly difficult. We believe (though nothing is set in stone) we can trace our White line back to the Rockingham and Caswell County areas to a Cajabeth White. There is still much research to be done to be able to support (or disprove) our theory.
The Haley Family Line: You can read about the latest developments here on my research into the 1820's tax records for Halifax County, VA. I have identified several Haleys I believe were in some way related to Jesse Haley (my GGGG grandfather). These Haleys do not stay in Halifax County for long and fall between the census years of 1820 and 1830. Another research trip to the Halifax County courthouse is in the making to look at land and court records.
The Howard Line: I was able to provide another researcher with photographs of someone in his Dean family tree. My great grandfather's (Connie M Howard) 4th wife was Lucille Dean. It is always nice to help another genealogist out.
I have lots of other research projects in mind - more projects than actual research time. Thankfully, the ancestors are patient, if not always forthcoming with answers.
