Just got a FAG correction.

For Luvina Burris.

My good Samaritan told me that her parents were John Sherman Burris and Mitti Belle McElroy.

That little email solved a mystery.

I've had Mary L Burris (born about 1916) in John and Mitti's family for years.

Just never knew what happened to her - or whether she married or had kids.

She is buried in St. Joe Cemetery, as are her parents.

Now I wonder why she died at the age of 23...

Now that you have a new location, do I have to sign up again to get updates through my Google Reader? I wouldn't want to miss a single post. I love your writing style.

Hi Dee! A recent blog post by Taneya and Susan Petersen has me using FAG a lot more these days. In fact, someone posted a photo of my paternal grand-mother's headstone from an old neglected Negro cemetery in the Austin, Texas area. That truly was a sweet find!

I love your new site, but I can't seem to get my OpenID to work properly.
