Notes
All documentation and information that has been placed in the JSY
Archives should have the name of the person
that the document was received
from. Below
are additional notes about the documentation that was
received from the following:
YNGHA/Karen
Mazock
- This documentation was received from
Karen Mazock that she has collected
on the JSY
family over the years sent in by other JSY family researchers.
In all cases YNGHA/Karen Mazock
will be supplied to any documenation in
the
archives that was received from that group of files and the submitters
name will also be supplied if it is
known. I know that a lot of the
documentation was sent to her from Beth Walker,
Rae Donahue and Ophelia
Kessler.
Beth Walker -
A lot of documentation came from Beth Walker, who
has done a lot of research
on the JSY family
through the years. She gave me a binder that contained
a lot of documentation and family group
sheets. It should be noted
that a lot of the
documentation she had that connects to Josiah Samual
Yarbrough / Elizabeth Owens and their
descendants is the research of Rae
Donahue and
Ophelia Kessler. Over the years she has given me records
for J.S.Y, Lorenzo Dow Yarbrough and Alfred
Yarbrough. Beth has given
me a lot of
guidence and help concerning the JSY family.
Renee Smelley
- Some of the documentation that I have
came from my grandmother, Carmen
Tilley
Pierce. In the early 1990s she made copies of all the information
and documentation that she had, put it
into binders and gave a binder to
each of her
children and to her neices and nephews. In turn I received
the binder that was given to my dad. It was
that binder that got
me started researching my
Yarbrough ancestry back in January 1999.
A
lot of the information was in note form written down by my grandmother
and her sister Jewel Walker. It is likely
that some of the documentation
in the binder came
from Rae Donahue and Ophelia Kessler because it is very
similar to the family group sheets/documents that
I received from Beth Walker. The majority of the Texas
Death Records I obtained from the LDS site at http://www.familysearch.org All
their records are free to
search.
