I try to set aside one day a week to do genealogy research. It usually begins with a trip to The Family Search Center.
Often times it ends well into the night with me down a rabbit hole!

This week at the Family Search Center I came across this death certificate for my mothers first cousin Cecil.
From it I was able to confirm his parent’s names as well as his exact date of death.
Courious to me though was the cause of his death. ‘Died Sudden-On the Street’ 🧐. What could that mean?? He was 18 years old, does that rule out natural causes of death? Possibly, but not likely. But, it got me wondering….
Under contributary cause for death the code was 199. So I googled death codes for Tennessee in 1939.
HOMICIDE is what came up! 🫣. Well…that got me wondering; Could it have been a hit and run accident? Was he shot? Who were his enemies? What was this particular town in rural Tennessee like in 1939?
It’s definitely a mystery I hope to solve!

I saw this today this on CBS Sunday Morning. It made me think of my Great Aunt A’s Sour Cream Sugar Cookies. Each one always had 3 raisins on top.

When Rosie Grant launched a TikTok channel, GhostlyArchive, as a testament to gravestones, she discovered a niche form of memorial: cemetery markers that bear beloved recipes of the dearly departed. Her new cookbook collects headstone recipes that are "To Die For."

I found this old picture in one of the boxes of things we brought home from my mother in law’s house after she passed. I love it when who’s who is written on the back. However in this case I didn’t think the man in the photo matched up with the name. After some digging and research I discovered indeed he was not, JF Stillwell, but Toliver Kirkpatrick Elliot. JF’s great grandfather!!

My passion right now is putting together timelines, and filling in the blanks to put together the stories of the lives of my ancestors!!

Looking through some genealogy websites, I came across this. I’m not sure I’ve seen any of these in my research. But I thought it was interesting and will look for them.
