Marshmallows23's Journal

        Remember I told you genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle ? We found out my mother had a baby brother named Jack. When we went on our trip, we got all his records. There were TWO  GEORGE CORNWALLS, we didn't know anything about them. On Thursday at the library, I got both death certificate and you won't believe this one ! They belong to my grandmother too. Jack was a preemy born 27 Mar 1928, he live for one week. The first George was stillborn 28 Mar 1929, the SECOND GEORGE was also stillborn 5 Dec. 1929. How sad that all three babies died ! My job now, is to get the funeral records from Williams Funeral Home, when we go back in October for that book unveiling. This is why you get the official certificates, to varify the proper dates, parents, wether they be birth, death or mariage. Those are concrete proof of their existance and accuracy to dates. You can't rely on word of mouth to be correct. I bet my Uncle Don, never knew about the babies, he never mentioned them ! My mother said she had A BABY BROTHER, that died, bet she didn't know about the other two. It's important to check records, that come from the same area as you're researching, you just never know. We'll also have to contact West Cemetery, they were looking up where Leola Osborn and Jack Cornwall are buried, we need to find, where the George Cornwalls are buried too. I know for sure it is that cemetery, because the baby's father, my Grandfather are there. You'll also find, the family uses the same cemeteries and funeral homes. Cornwalls used Williams and West Cemetery, Osborns Sifton,and Elmdale cemetery. You can often tell if records are yours if you know the relogion, they don't vary there at all. Hope you enjoyed your lesson on Genealogy. LOL

         I'm going to do gardening in my vegetable garden, I NEED to wash, clean and wax my car, inside and out, IT'S FILTHY ! You can write your name on the dash, it's that bad, although my dash is red and the dust show, real easy. Guess I'd better get going, looks like another nice day. Bye for now !

 P.S. I didn't sleep well last night. I watched TV for about an hour and went back to bed. I'm now refreshed, ready to go for supper with Connie and Jim. She'll be surprised to have cake at Jim's, she won't be expecting it. I'll tell you about it later.
