I'd rather be outside playing I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious.
-- Albert Einstein
That quote about sums me up! I'm not particularly brilliant or interesting, but I do so embrace the love of family history. It has been a life-long endeavor that has brought me much joy and insight into my family.
I am one of the fortunate few who lives in the land of my ancestors. The great majority of my family was born, lived, and died within a few miles of where I now live. In this transient world, not many of us can make that claim!
My greatest desire is to connect families. Let's talk about how I can help you discover your story!
I hold a Bachelor of Science degree and have worked professionally as a writer, editor, librarian and educator. I've spent countless hours volunteering in my community at shelters, scouting, PTSAs, dog rescue, libraries, and in genealogical societies. I've lived a rich full life and I am grateful for all that I have. I am particularly grateful to know the story of my family - it has brought me much joy and understanding.
Note: As a professional genealogist, I employ the Genealogical Proof Standard and adhere to the Association of Professional Genealogists Code of Ethics.

Hi Carla, my name is Don Schreiner and I believe James Smith mentioned that you might be interested in talking to our Veterans group about your Father's military service. We are an informal group of veterans who enjoy hearing stories of fellow veterans. We meet at 2pm on the second Wednesday of each month and the program is usually one hour or less. If you are interested, please let me know at thehouseofschreiner@gmail.coml Don Schreiner
ReplyDeleteHello. My name is Nancy Curtis Holt. My adoptive mother's parents and others are buried at Salem Primitive Baptist Church in Archers Lodge. I would love any information you have on it. Della Parham Whitley and Joseph "Vic" Whitley were moms parents. Mom's name was Cymerline Whitley. Would also like to know how to get in touch with the church and find out when they hold services. Thanks so much, Nancy Holt

ReplyDeleteHello, I came across your blog by accident. I, too, am related to George Benjamin Allen and Mary Fleming Thompson, but have little genealogical information. I was wondering where they fit into your family tree and if you would be willing to share information connected to them that you might have.
ReplyDeleteThank you.

ReplyDeleteHello!
ReplyDeleteI am a descendant of an Ezekiel Fuller. Are you? I noticed you have the Fuller lineage story on this blog.
I have read so much about how Ezekiel IS NOT the son of William Fuller and Sarah Martiau. Yet, all of the ancestry sites say that he is???
Have you figured out the "real deal" about Ezekiel?
Please message me back if you have clues.
Thanks so much, Jane Richardson Dekle, Staunton, Virginia
Carla Stancil You have done a great deal of work! I noticed the marriage bond for J.B. Allen and Julia Morgan in your documents on the Allens. I am descended from Amaryllia Morgan and James Barnett Allen. Julia and Amaryllis were daughters of Winfield Morgan and Piety Weathers. James Barnett Allen and Joseph Barnett Allen were the sons of Zachariah Allen and Rebecca Barnett. The Allens home place is called The Elms in the Wilton area.
ReplyDeleteHello, Deborah Astine Sutton was my greatgrandmother also (sorry don't have the math at the moment)and have enjoyed your "Diggin for Clues" entry on her life. I see you have looked at the Allen family in Wake County -- would that be the family of Rufus Heywood Allen (veteran of War Between the States)and his daughter Mary? I am descended from them and hope they might be the same Allens.
