Family Review: One Of My Discoveries On The Journey

I've been reflecting on my research. I've come a long ways since I began. I'm still making discoveries. I'm looking for clues to follow up on. I'm thankful for those who have done their DNA test. It helps in the searching to contact with family connections.

Here's a re post of one of my discoveries. (I added more to this blog.) I was searching for my Great Grandpa Isaac Blakey. I couldn't locate him on the 1880 census. But, as I was searching for him, I can up with a remarkable finding.

Thanks for reading.
God bless you.

It was on June 28, 2007; I made the discovery that my Great Grand Mother Julia White was (listed) on the 1880 census. Something on the inside of me jumped for joy when I saw her name on my computer screen. I said out loud, "Thank You, Jesus!"

I started singing and praising God. I keep looking at the screen. I have located my ancestors. What an accomplishment!

I looked at the names that followed after my Great Grandmother. Her son, my Great Grandpa Isaac with the White surname. The other names were familiar too. I thought yes, I have found my ancestors.

Name	Age
Julia White	60
Isaac White	30
Spencer White	28
John White	26
David White	22
Josh White	20
Martha White	18
Rachel White	29
John White	10
Mary White	8
Andrew White	6
Julia White	4
Henry White	2
Rebcca White	10
Andrew White	2

(The above names were added to this blog.) I noticed some things about my ancestors lived together by reading this census. There were three generations living in one household. The family stayed together.

I had my heart's desire to find out who my ancestors were. I am thankful for the leading of the Holy Spirit.  I had thought that my Great Grandmother Julia had passed by 1880.  There were not family record of who my Great Grandfather's name was.  I thought the day was on August 7 , 2007. Mystery Solved.

I thank God for putting the desire in me to search for my family history. May I continue on this search for information by the grace of God. (Amen.)

P.S
I'm still making new discoveries. This past week I was searching. I came across more information through death records and census returns. My mind is wondering. I'm finding more pieces to the puzzle. My quest continues.
