I first became interested in genealogy when I was 14. (Has it really been over 20 years now?) My history teacher gave us some weird homework one night. We were supposed to call our grandparents and find out what their grandparents did for a living. I don't know why she gave us this assignment, but I was told some wonderful stories by my older relatives, and the seed of a life long desire for information was planted. When I was 16, I fell ill with rheumatic fever and was confined to the bed for many weeks. To keep my mind active, two of my great-aunts, Mrs. Dave (Lola Belle) McCormick and Mrs. Arva (Lurlene) McCormick, gave me the job of writing down these stories and others I was to learn through correspondence. This page is the result of that beginning and several years of research, cemetery visits, correspondence, and leg work. I've met some incredible people in my search for my past. I want to thank them all for the information but most of all for the friendship.

So, buckle your seat belts, get some popcorn and a drink, and let's journey through the past together.

nuts have visited My Family Tree since 5 November 1996.

I had 170 visits from 8 June to 5 November. Guess there aren't many McCormick researchers out there!
