Welcome Family- I have created this tree as a convenient way for all of you to see and enjoy the 
bigger tree. I am inviting you to view, comment and send pictures of any of the individuals you 
find here. 
I started this research many years ago and yes, it was before ancestry.com came along. It began  
with 
scraps of paper with interesting scribbles and some handwritten notes from my Grandma Vada Kimzey. 
and Grandma Elizabeth Strasburg.  
My Brother-in-law Jack Tomlinson also willingly shared with me. Great Aunt Fern Lewis and Betty 
Russells compilations after their deaths also have been of great help. They all had the "bug" in 
genealogy ahead of me and their records provided the platform for me to start my own research. I am 
so thankful to these family members for passing on the valuable information. Since that time Larry 
and I have added to their efforts and filled in many puzzle pieces and branches. We have had a 
blast driving... who knows where.... and searching through dusty and hot courthouse records and 
overgrown and forgotten cemeteries literally all over the South and Midwest. 
 
This is a living tree and as such has some branches more to fill in and some mistakes in it. No 
family feuding please! Please ask questions and comment if you see something that is inaccurate. I 
desire your help and accuracy. There are several special projects also herein that need attention 
and if you feel led to assist me in any, I would love that. This is a completely private tree, only 
invited guests/family at this point are able to see the information. When and if I should make it a
available for public use I will remove living persons information. Enjoy the shade.
 PLEASE SEND PICTURES AND SIGN THE GUEST BOOK!!!
