Sepia Saturday 118 : Going Out Meet The Millsap Family

Tonight's Sepia Saturday is labeled Going Out. Ourselves or family members all dressed up to go out. You can read other Sepia Saturdays here.

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

The Whispers Of My Ancestors In My Ears Anna Woodmansee Continues

While reading blogs tonight I found Angels in my Ear which was referred by Armchair Genealogists.
She has just started out writing her blog.  I look forward to continuing to read her writings. She talks about putting depth and more to our family history besides the dates we find.

I often sit and wonder about my ancestors. What was their lifes like, what were their dreams and hopes. How did they handle the saddness in their lives. At times I wish they would whisper in my ear. Tell me their secrets.

Today I shared the obituary of my great great grandmother Anna Woodmansee. The last part talked about her long suffering. It reads She has been a great sufferer for several years, but has bore her suffering with patience and christian fortitude. What is meant by that? Did she suffer from some disease, some unknown sadness to me. I wonder?

I did find this wonderful picture of one of her sons on ancestory tonight. This is George Everett Millsap and his family. I love ancestory and how their is sharing of family pictures for others to enjoy and put into their family research books. Pictured is six children, I found out that they had one more son who lived only about three years.

While searching swag found this site about abandoned cemeteries in Decatur where my ancestors lived. It mentions Millsaps. More research needs to be done here. Anna married Flavious Armenious Millsap.

Thanks for stopping by as I share my family members and what I am finding about these wonderful people who came before me. I want to learn more about all of them. Your friend in family research Grace
