Welcome all my relatives!!
This beautiful welcome picture is of Ruth Shepherd Gurkin and her mother, Maggie Terrell Shepherd.
I am Denise Diffee Hall, of Burlington, Alamance County, NC. My mother is Jeanne Brooks Diffee, a descendant of James M Terrell and Lula Morgan Terrell of Alamance County and John R Shepherd and Susan Kinney Shepherd of Alamance as well, maternal side. She is descended on her paternal side from Joseph Samuel Brooks' and Sarah Catherine Sharp Brooks (this is the grandparents of Jeanne instead of Great Grandparents because I have not found the Great Grandparents yet), William G. Sharp, Jr.and Emily Isely Sharp.
Belva Shepherd Brooks was Mom's mother and she was the daughter of Maggie Terrell and Lonnie Edwin Shepherd Sr.
I have been working on Ancestry.com for a few months trying to trace our heritage. Some of you may have already done this. If you have - let me know so I can add the information you have found. It's quite an adventure trying to trace all these people.
Here are some pictures I have scanned from our collection. If you have some you would like to share here that would be awesome! We can make this our home base and I will give out the password so everyone can upload information as well as pictures. That is my intention by creating this blog.
Email me if you would like to upload a story, info or picture to this site. If you don't know how to upload - I can upload from an email you send me.
