Thanks to an ad on Facebook, I have discovered an app that enhances photos, but the main feature that attracted me was the face animator. The examples given were of old photos bringing past presidents or famous people in the past, to life, with smiles and the eyes blinking. I...
Of course, there is a Bosley -Boyce connection in the family. My Grandfather, Raymond Vaughn Bosley (know as “Red” to his friends) married my Grandmom, Ethel Lee Boyce. I have a list of the family on my Grandmom’s side, and she came from a large family. Mostly sisters, who I...
According to my ever-changing 23andMe results, my ancestry is mostly European. Mostly British and I have found a lot of German, so when France, Belgium, Italy, and recently found Norwegian heritage pops up on my Ancestry, (Hopefully, I learn more about the Norwegian later) I like to investigate deeper. One...
This blog already has an about me page, but after receiving my DNA results (a birthday present), I felt compelled to write another one, a part two if you will. I had a few surprises, and some, thanks to my research into Dad and Mom’s Ancestry, I was not so...
Continuing on my quest to learn all the places my ancestors came from. Updated Post! 1973 names on this list now! The last blog I did the Bosley Family Tree. This post will be on my mother’s side, the Fletcher – Buckwalter Family tree. This part of the family tree...
Updated, now with 1552 names on the list! I’ve been doing a lot of research on Ancestry.com and other sites looking for some hints into my parents’ heritage. I found more than I ever thought possible. My Dad’s name is Bosley. I always figured it was English, but for years...
The fun I have on Ancestry.com doesn’t stop at learning about my own heritage, I have also included John’s side. The Dolphin family history has been more challenging. Information in England is a lot different. Maiden names aren’t included in much of the records is just one challenge. When I...
The more I dig into the family history of the Buckwalters, the more it points to origins of Switzerland. Today I found this old photo. It’s marked on the back as Mary Buckwalter. This lady married a Buckwalter. Mary would have been my mother’s father’s mother, Mary Buzzard. (The Buzzard...
Been going through a lot of Mom’s papers, photos, and items she has stashed away. Today, we found this gem. “Cousin George” according to the back of the picture. My son, who enjoys doing different things with facial hair, exclaimed upon seeing this, “My hero! That takes commitment!” True. I...
Those boring begats of the Bible. You know them. In our daily reading, John and I learned there are a few good reasons to put and keep them in there. One reason is the accuracy and details of them puts the Bible scientifically right in the middle of history. They...
Digging around in our barn, we found a very old looking box with very old photos in it. Inside were last names I recognized, but not many faces did I know. On mom’s side of the family I know there are Fletchers, Browns, Lees, and Buckwalters. Even though the box...
