MOMMY AND HER NAME
MOMMY AND HER NAME


My mom and I started doing genealogy right after
I was diagnosed with an Accoustic Nueroma back in 1998.
My great aunt Mae Kendrick Lawler has been a
great source of information having researched the Kendrick Family
for over thirty plus years.

During a visit with Aunt Mae we started talking
about naming patterns and such.
Aunt Mae told me that when my Mom was born
she was named by her Grandfather William D. Kendrick.
He named her Edith after his grandmother Edith Wright Kendrick.

I was named by Mommys father Frank P. Kendrick after his favorite teacher.
My grandfather was named Franklin Pierce Kendrick
and I often wondered if he was named after
President Franklin Pierce whose mother was a Kendrick.
