Powell February, 2001 |
Hi, My name is Lisa Powell.
I want to give a great big thank you to US GenWeb and the Wise County
site. Thanks to these sites I have located a huge part of my family.
I have been researching the
Lawrence and Mitchell surnames from the Wise County Virginia area for
almost 6 years. A couple weeks ago I came across the list of peoples
names that are searching particular Surnames. I have been to that page
numerous times, looked at the people's names and e-mails, but never went
ahead and e-mailed. That day a couple weeks ago, I did it. I e-mailed
every Lawrence and every Mitchell researcher and low and behold the
e-mails were pouring in.
I was lucky enough to find
1st cousins. 3 of them as a matter of fact, and now I hear from not only
them but their kids also. Their mother was my Dads sister, and she left
Virginia at age 14, my Dad was only 8 at the time and they never saw
each other after that. Unfortunately Dad's sister has passed on and Dad
is suffering from Alzheimer's, but the family has once again reunited in
honor of them. Good luck everyone, and don't give up, USGenWeb and
the county sites are great places to find information.
