My Family's Branches

Good News!
I am in the process of updating these pages! I have been working hard to update my database and have new software which should enable me to easily transfer all my info to this web site. Visitors will be able to download gedcom files from my site, and my new software will make updates much easier. I will be adding several new links to my links page, as well as some new photos. So be sure to bookmark this page and return soon to check for updates!


Thanks for visiting!  I got introduced (or addicted rather) to genealogy years ago, by one of my aunts.  She gave me copies of all the family papers she had.  I was hooked!  Admittedly, I am an amateur genealogist, but once you've been bitten by the genealogy bug there's no turning back! =0)

There are more than 3,300 individuals in my database. The main surnames are: ANDERSON, BARNETT, BURDICK, HAMILTON, HEAPE, HICKS, PRUITT, QUICK, ROGERS, SANDERS, and TOOKER.

Click on SURNAME INDEX link below which will take you to an index of all the surnames and individuals in my family tree.

I have cross-linked some names in the surname index with items that you might find interesting...wills, photos, deeds, etc.  Whenever a document or photo is available, you will find a symbol next to the person's name.  If you wish, you can go directly to these pages by clicking on the icons in the table below.  These page are a work in progress.  I am continually adding new information, pictures, etc.  

I have also included some links to sites that have been helpful to me, information on soundex codes, and guidelines for the beginner.  

I hope you enjoy your visit!

I have removed my guestbook due to SPAM! I apologize for any inconvenience, but I certainly don't wish to promote the kinds of links that were continually being posted there. Please feel free to email me instead! I would be happy to post a link to your genealogy web site.


 

Dedication...

 
This site is dedicated to the memory of my grandparents, Norman Warren and Katherine "Kay" Hicks. Grandpa passed away April 27, 1998. Grandma joined grandpa on December 19, 2003. They both loved to make people laugh and had a joke for everyone they met.  In their earlier years they were part of a quartet, singing and playing banjos and the bumpstick (a unique percussion instrument). Grandpa had a wonderful singing voice and grandma loved to dance.  They were true entertainers!

And to my grandmother, Gertrude Pruitt, who passed away July 15, 1989.  I still remember my favorite flannel pajamas, made with love by my grandma...and with those awesome pearly buttons! I miss the way she would call me 'missy'. Thank you, grandma for teaching me how to knit!

You all are greatly missed!

I am very proud to have received the following award:
