Who Do You Think You Are aired last Friday night. I sat with my arms crossed with tears running down my face. Not because I was sad and not because I was happy. I cried because I was so jealous. An emotion I have never really experienced before. I am not a jealous envious person, so those emotions are so new and so raw.
I was jealous because these people had all the resources and people at their finger tips. They had everyone else braking down their brick walls. I am excited the show is on, don’t get me wrong I love the idea and the reason behind it. But really, I wanted to be the one that was helped through my family tree.
It had definitely lighted a fire under my bum, to pull out old files and get reacquainted with people I hadn’t visited in awhile. I am looking forward to seeing another episode on Friday.
So on Saturday I tried looking for the Howell family. I was a little successful. I had found Sara Howell who married Henry Brezee. Together they had a child Rosa Bella Brezee. I found information on Sara’s parents. Her mother was Rebecca Limbers and her father was Nehemiah Howell, so now I have another name to look up and that really excites me. I found an excerpt from the book “The History of Barbour County of West Virginia. I don’t know the author. There is a handful of info for me in this book and I am so excited.
The only problem with the Howell family is that I can not find Nehemiah anytime before he was married to Rebecca. I have my work cut out for me on this one. So my goals for this week are;
- Find out who Nehemiah father is.
- Find all the Census on Nehemiah.
