Researching a Family Tree in Stony Ground
Welcome to my genealogy blog! I’ve been digging around in my family tree for twenty years now, and I thought this would be a good way to share some of the great stories and pictures I’ve collected. I might also give up a few tips about researching now and then. If you have a question, please post it below, and I’ll see if I can answer it.

Digging Up Stones %d
Hi Katrina, First let me tell you who I am. I grew up in Whites Addition, Cherry Tree. We were neighbors of the Stoneoff/Baisden Family for years.
My father is George and Rena Sansom. I know Robert knows who I am. I was a playmate with Johnnie and Cleta Mae when we were growing up. Johnnie and I are the same age.
I too am into genealogy and my grandmother on my mothers side was a Bailey. This part of the Richard Bailey family of Virginia. A couple of his sons migrating to Southern West Virginia. Let me hear from you.

Hi, Beula!
How very nice to meet you! It never occurred to me that people would stumble onto my blog by googling names. Very cool!
I wonder if it’s the same Bailey family? I haven’t done a lot of research on the Baileys, mostly because I’ve found Frank Bailey very difficult to research (though his father Clayborn and grandfather Henry are a bit easier). Hearing from Vernard’s daughter is what sparked my looking into that line a bit.
Hmm. I think perhaps it’s time to update that blog!
