This week I am going to be working on my Millsap / Millsaps family. This picture is of George Everett Millsap and family. George is the brother of my great grandmother Rachel Millsap Zion who married Jonathan Adam Zion.
Pictured with George is his wife Amanda SAMS and children Everett Ray, Anna E, Hazel, Jasie, Jessie, and William. Son Walter passed away before this picture was taken.
The Millsaps are all dressed up in their best for this family picture. The picture was taken about 1914.
I believe they were living in Missouri.
More research needs to be done on this family to confirm that I have the correct names of some of the children. George last years were in Idaho. I did not know I had family that had gone to Idaho so this will be a new state to do some research in.
The parents of George and my great grandmother Rachel were Flavious Armenious and Anna Woodmansee Millsap. Flavious and Anna had a total of ten children.
Thanks for stopping by for Sepia Saturday Grace
It's always interesting to find family members in a part of the country you didn't know about. I've traced some back to the late 1700s that I didn't know about. In our area we are the only ones in the phone book with our surname so we also have to go out to find the others.
ReplyDeleteStarting research on a new family is always full of surprises. I've been working on my Dad's side of the family this month because of St. Patrick's Day and they're Irish. It's been lots of fun since I had never worked on them before.
ReplyDeleteI love family group photos. What a pity we couldn't enlarge it to study it more closely.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I’m not sure if you are aware that you still have word verifcation switched on. There’s a general rebellion to do away with it as it’s become very complicated and seems to be putting people off commenting. I got rid of my mine a couple of weeks ago and it’s been fine. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Great photo! That is fun that you have now found a new branch of your family.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week,
