Hi,
I am not new to Family History just new to this list.
My name is Patty Remali and I have been interested in family history since I
was a little girl sitting on the floor at the feet of my grandparents
listening to stories.
Unfortunately, it was my grandparents on my father's side telling the
stories. My Cecil grandparent NEVER told family stories and now he is gone
and I am left to dig around on my own.
My line ends with Alexander Cecil born May 1833 in VA and died May 1903 in
Upper Twp, Lawrence Co., OH. He married Elizabeth Walburn 20 Apr 1856.
Elizabeth was born 31 Dec 1832 in Lawrence Co., Ohio, and died 5 Apr 1883 in
Lawrence Co., Ohio.
There were several children All born in Ohio: George Washington Cecil, born
abt 1858; a female name not known; Lucy Alice, born Feb 1864; John Q.;
Hester; Ella Frances; Elizabeth; William Henry, born 28 Aug 1878, born and
died in Ohio (this is my line); and Charles.
I am pretty sure that Phillip Cecil, born abt. 1797 in VA. and Elizabeth
Tomlinson are Alexander's parents, as a couple of people have shared that
with me, but I have no proof. I know NOTHING of Elizabeth and very very
little of Phillip.
I have had to put aside my family history for several years, but am now
trying to get back into it. I hope by joining this list, I can pick up some
info and direction as to where to start looking.
Look forward to seeing the e-mails come through.
