Family Ties.....

Today was an exciting day for Chuck, he got to meet his cousin Frances Gilbert Greeson of Resaca, GA.  Quite a milestone since he only remembers meeting one other cousin (CJ) years ago.  Frances and her husband Ervin invited us into their home and served us a delicious dinner.  We spent most of it catching up on the family history.  Tomorrow we will meet at the local library to do some research, but in the morning we're off to find the Dodd family cemetery in Rome, GA.  This is his mother's side of the family that we're trying to get information on for the family tree.  Have you ever watched "Who Do You Think You Are" on ABC?  Well, I started researching my family in 1973 with the help of Joanne Heacock Craig and after a trip to Oregon in 2007 I started back up again (sporadically).  We couldn't pass up the chance to see his Mother's birthplace and where her family lived.
We are camping at Salacoa Creek Park, it is a little off the beaten path but well worth the drive as you can see by our campsite deck overlooking the "fishin' hole".  I could so live here!
