Thank you for your comment, we do have Welsh in our bloodline . To what existent a blood test would need to be run. My late Uncle Jon Lang did all the family history stuff before me.

Thank you , for your comments. We do have Welsh, My Grandfathers brother took the 23 and me and we have a lot more English though.

You made my day! LOL. The Data base error project has me in such a state!

Thank You for editing CSA Goode's :) John

Appreciate your additions for William H. Wallace -- I've been the "repository" for much of the families old photos and ephemera -- working my way through, convinced that this is a format to assure that some of it gets it to the next generations.

Thank you for working with me on the Nichols military service for CSA.

Great great grandfather Stark got so hungry during the Civil War he told my grandmother when they slaughtered a cow they would not waste anything. They would put the cow blood out in the cold air until it congealed and had blood pudding! Her grandmother heard something fall on the hardwood floor and roll across it. It was a Minnie ball that had worked it's way out of his hip and the hole was healed. She could put her finger in it when she helped bathe him when he got old!

Apparently we came from "the Midlands" and southern Scotland with the Anglo refugees of the English Civil Wars after the Mercian Empire yielded to the Saxons who yielded to the Vikings who yielded to the Normans. Arriving in Virginia during early English Colonial rule when they were giving away land patent rights to those willing to clear, plant and live on it. Fourth generation families moved to North Carolina to then settle in South Carolina by the sixth generation. Who then moved into Georgia and Alabama by the seventh. And here we fought another Civil War then stayed there forever.

Tim, I just read your biography and would like to thank you very much for your service to our country. You are a contemporay of mine and my husband's brother alao served in Viet Nam and saw heavy action. We are deeply indebted to you for the freedom we enjoy. We do not take it for granted and we pray for our servicemen and their families. Thank you so much . Patty Pelham James

I totally agree with you about Frank Stringfellow :-)
