Williams Family Genealogy
My Lost Limbs (and then some)
Please be patient with me, I am restoring this web page and a lot of the material was lost. I will retrieve it eventually.
Welcome to the Williams Family's Lost Limbs Web Site.
First and foremost, I woud like to take a monent to acknowledge everyone who has helped with this web page by submitting information, documents and pictures on the families that I am researching.
I would like to thank Derrel Dexter, for sending me history, pictures, military information and stories to confirm and continue the family history on the GOOSEMAN, SHIRLEY line.
I would like to thank Patrisha Garris-Shoemaker and Charles Garris for information and support on the GARRIS, VINCIN and WILLIAMS lines.
Thanks goes to my dear Lucy Garret, for family history, marriage certificates, death certificates and pictures on the WILLIAMS, WHITE line.
Thanks go to Mr. Mike Sweeney from the Yakima County, Washington Genealogy Society for the obituaries on JOHN MURRAY and IZELLA JANE TOLLE.
A huge THANKS to Steve Knouse for information and pictures on the TURNER, TATUM, KNOUSE line. Thanks to Steve, I have been able to find a marriage certificate for my great great grandmother, LILLIE TATUM and great great grandfather, JAMES TURNER. Steve has also sent me pictures I would have otherwise never seen.
Thanks go out to John and Patricia Dill for the continuing information on the WILLIAMS, RUTLEDGE line. This is my main Williams line and John has provided countless pieces of information and opinions regarding this research.
A very special thanks to Thoren Tolle-Myers for her extensive research on the TOLLE, DONAHOO line. Thoren has her own web page on this particular line, so you probably won't find a lot on this line at my web page, but if this is a line that you are researching and would like to see her web page I am providing a link to her web page. I can't keep up with this girl, she is so good. Thoren actually has 2 web pages. One is at ~ThorenTM"Tripod and the other is at AngelFire. Just click on the link and it will take you to her page.
Now, Come, take a trip with me as we explore the world like it was 100 year ago or more. Let's learn about families that we never knew. Let's learn how they lived and what they did. This is a part of our heritage, our past.
Let us see what we can learn about our neighbors and our neighborhood. See what happened in our County and Counties near us.
Come, step into the past with me, let's see what we can learn together.
As most people in my area, I come from a mix of what I would sometimes like to call "I don't know what".
My genealogy begins with the combination of the Williams Family from Newton County, Missouri and the Gum Family from Bond County, Illinois. Then we spread out to the Seaman Family, which I know nothing about and the Turner Family, again which I know nothing about. As you can see from the beginning, on one side I know a little, on the other side, I know nothing. My Williams Family comes from miners and farmers and my Gum Family comes from carpenters and farmers.
I will tell you more of what I know concerning each branch of my family tree on my ancestors page.
My surnames include:
Williams, Turner, Vickers, Charlton, Gooseman, Trent, Galloway, Scroggins, Donahoo, Tolle, Garris, Stewart, Gum, Barth, Black, Yearout, White, Tatum and many more.
Later on, I will add some from my husbands side. They include Marbut, Easley, Vanderpool and Jinks.
Don't stop there though, that's not all of them. For a semi-complete list of all my surnames, go to my Ancestors Page
