My research interests are Smith, Oakes, Dodd, Barley, Brammer, Woods, My family thinks that I'm crazy because I like to research dead people! I just find it fascinating to link people with their families and put them together. I'm not crazy I just love the excitement of it. I got very excited when someone posted a picture of my g g grandma. One of mom's siblings verified the picture had been seen before and was her. Family on both sides were tobacco farmers. It was very hard work and not much money in it. Lots of children were born back then and were needed to help on the farm. There was no birth control so families were large. Please let me know if you see an error and I will check it out. I don't put death certificate on the pages because there's personal information that needs to be preserved for privacy. If you see any that I have put on a page earlier to this date please let me know and I will remove it. We live and learn from others who have no idea what they have taught us. Thanks. Wanda
