Hello, I would like to welcome you to Patsy's Primrose Lane. You will be seeing changes to my pages as I add more family information in the coming months. I have been doing research on the different branches of my family since the 1960s so please come back and visit often to see the new things I am adding to my pages.

There are Fantastic links below!

Visit them to see if you can find something helpful.

 

Just a note that I will be working on my pages and adding more information, but life has a way of throwing kinks in what we plan.

It seems like my family trees have been in limbo the past few months as I have been having to take care of family members who have had surgeries and illness. I am hoping that 2011 will be a better year with everyone staying healthy.

I belong to "OPHGR " which has a lot of new information that our Archivists are working diligently to process and transcribe to put up on the internet as FREE information and in hardcopy that we submit to the Library of Congress to preserve the information. Go to the link below and take a look at the site.

As a youngster, I was always facinated by all kinds of history and finding the many branches of my Finley ( paternal) & Conway (maternal) family just came naturally. On the next few pages, you will find out about both my paternal and maternal family. In 1965, I married and thus began the search for the Vinson (paternal) & Werner (maternal) lines of my husband's family. Grandma Mildredge Scroggins Vinson helped me with the Meador & Scroggins and Cox - Vinson lines as well as my in-laws, Earnest and Mildred Werner Vinson.

I want to give credit to my many cousins who have helped research our many lines. Three of my cousins without whose help I would be lost are Wynell Walraven Choate, Johnnie Finley Horton, and June Walker Staton (1924-1995). We have spent many hours in dusty court house basements, walking through overgrown graveyards, traveling to distant states, and looking up sources in libraries for those elusive members of our family as we shared lots of laughter, sighs and excitement.
