Each time I create a new profile with only the most basic facts, I grieve for the "dash", and wonder about that life lived in that, seemingly short and insignificant punctuation. This compiling of evidence may not be much, may not do more than sketch out the vaguest boundaries of a life, but at least it's something. Something which allows us to see that net - the bigger one.

Loretta Buckner is a descendant of Mayflower Passenger John Billington, 10th GG.
Loretta is a Friend (Quaker) researcher, focusing on North Carolina
Loretta Buckner is a descendant of Mayflower Passenger George Soule, 11th GG.
Loretta Buckner is a member of the Appalachia Project.
Loretta Buckner is a descendant of Mayflower Passenger Francis Cooke, 12th GG.
My interest in genealogy began with my maternal grandmother Sarah ("Sally"), who was a member of DAR, through her own father's research. Grandmothers have great stories, and Ollie Mae on my dad's side was no different--she seemed not only to know everyone in a 100 mile radius of the family farm, but apparently was also related to most of them.
The world becomes a much smaller place when we begin to follow lines of descent, and find them to be truly interconnected, in ways unimagined. Sister Kathy refers to the family tree now as a 'web' - like the roots of old growth trees the world over, the web is a living organism, capable of carrying messages across generations.
I call it "therapy".
I've also begun to think of it more as a net, in the words of Pablo Neruda:
- "I am nothing but the empty net which has gone on ahead
- of human eyes, dead in those darknesses,
- of fingers accustomed to the triangle, longitudes
- on the timid globe of an orange.
- I walked around as you do, investigating the endless star,
- and in my net, during the night, I woke up naked,
- the only thing caught, a fish trapped inside the wind."
Research Notes
Why would you need research notes on your own profile? (you might ask...) and the answer would be: to remember what I'm looking for at the moment. Those questions posted in G2G are a great place to begin the inquiry, and a recent one regarding Gateway ancestors has led me to this one: Are the Stewarts in fact Gateway ancestors? If not, then who is? Most recently, I've been trailing after several branches and twigs all through the Appalachian Mountains, soon to follow in person, I hope! [1][2]

Thanks for all you do for PGM and WikiTree!

I noticed on Martha Short Pace Clapp's profile that Kathlene had removed her Category and then it says you had left it blank. 00:31: Loretta Buckner edited the Biography for Martha Ann (Short) Clapp (1876-1960). (Categorization. (Removing incorrect cemetery)) [Thank Loretta for this].
I think I entered Rocky River Baptist Church because that's where her husband, Aug Clapp, was buried...until I could get the correct cemetery categorized. I did not know (and still don't know) how to do that...and then overlooked it. If you don't mind could you please complete the categorization for her Profile? There are just a few people buried in the cemetery.
From my personal knowledge, my step-grandmother's cemetery is Short Family Cemetery, Glendon, Moore County, North Carolina.
The Cemetery name is in the 'Find A Grave' Source on the Profile.
Thank you very much, Marlene Brown
I will be setting up that cemetery "shortly" (ahahah) 😉
