Lost family photos
21 February 2011 - 1:04:55pm

Yesterday, Jody Wallcraft, a member of this website and a Williamson descendant, lost a box full of family photos and documents that fell out of the back of her father's truck. You can imagine her devastation at having lost her important family records.

A good samaritan by the name of Dave Brooks found them along the roadside and took them home with him. In the box he found a document that referred to Madeline Brunt ‎(1910-2007)‎, and had the presence of mind to google her name. That's how he found this website and contacted me with the details. I searched for Madeline Brunt's descendants and recognized Jody Wallcraft's name as she had only recently become a member of this site.

Jody is now in contact with the good samaritan and will soon be in possession of her documents.

Thanks go to Dave Brooks and June ‎(Williamson)‎ James who was the source of most of the Williamson genealogical information.

The lost Noppers
16 January 2010 - 11:46:39am

After some 20 odd years of searching, finally made contact with the Nopper descendants who emigrated from Germany to the US around the turn of the century. A lot of researching, gap filling, guessing, assumptions and many disappointing phone calls later, I finally found my father's two 1st cousins living in California where my great-grandmother had emigrated to before World War I.
