I feel it's important to know where we have been and what we, as a family, have done. I am presenting a list of my Grandparent's ancestors. Although we Genealogists like to think all of our data is perfect, keep an objective eye on all information presented. I would not give any history more than a 90% accuracy rating just because virtually any statement can be disproved when best evidence is not present, especially in genealogy.
Click on my Grandparents name to see them and read about their ancestors...
I realize that I have left the sources of the information gathered out of these pages. If you need to know where I obtained some information, email me.
Here is my Great (or is it Grand?) Uncle Louis Bates.No date or location mentioned although I suspect 1915 and Iowa Park, Texas. He is trying to impress someone!
We might be able to determine the location by the buildings in the background,and perhaps the date by the car. Notice the lanterns just to the rear of the engine.
You may notice that I have added some photographs to these pages. If you would like the original scans(most are RGB at 150 dpi), email me and I will send them as soon as I can. Also, if you have some related photos that you need scanned, contact me and we will figure something out.
