I am constantly affected by the back stories I find with families that I've done research on (usually my own family.) Having lived around some of them, one would never know the trials that they went through.

But, life goes on and, not surprisingly, repeats itself in many ways.

Research resumes on the lives and times of the Lawrence clan that moved into the Livingston, Polk County, Texas area after the Civil War from the Rankin County, Mississippi area.

Regarding my spouse's family, I am researching the lives and times of the Murphy, Jones and Woodall clans that populated the southern Texas counties of McMullen, Duval, Jim Wells, Webb, Frio and Atascosa while including the east Texas county of Freestone.

I will gladly assume the maintenance on any relative in my tree upon request.
