I am the only daughter of James C Shows. My father was born in Morales Texas in 1940 to A.T and Willie B Shows who later moved to Edna Texas. James C is the oldest of the 5 Shows children: James, Raymond, Ronald, Audrey and Darwin. My father James married Danielle Martin in Saint-Nazaire France. My mother is a native of France. I was born in Stuttgart Germany in 1963. I am now the mother of identical twin daughters (Danielle and Crystal born 1983) as well as 1 son Adrien born 1996.

Comments:
I just happened to see your website. I too have time on my hands due to illness & it has become a past time for me to try to look into the background of my family. My dad, Ronald George Kramer, is the son of George Lawrence Kramer (who died in 1/1988). I am just now starting on the research for his side of the family as previously I had done some research for my husband's side from Ireland. I just happened to notice the name "Kramer" listed on your husbands side of the family. I have no information to really pass on at this time, but when/if I do, I promise to send whatever I come up with.

Great site...keep up the VERY hard & dedicated work!

Comments:
I am researching the Blair side of my family and have met a brick wall. My grandmother Catherine Christine (Katie Mears) was married to Horace Jefferson Blair, son of William Monroe Blair and Martha Caroline Ford. I have found info (not all documented) on Blairs back to 1610 in Ayr Scotland. It is the Mears family and Horace's brothers and sisters that need info. Keep up the good work.

Who is your oldest documented ancestor? Many
Comments:
Hello, i'm just getting into my relatives and am now addicted to this hunt!! I got your site from SusieResearch and it started with my interest in my Peveler connection. I'm in the Daniel side(she is many into the David side) I'm a relative of Daniel's daughter Sabina who married Isaac Sailor, their daughter is my great grandmother. Her name is Ellen Perkins Sailor and married John William Norman in Missouri,had my grandmother Margaret Ellen in Missori and moved to Oklahoma.But i do not have enough info,she was born in 1858 in Texas as was another cousin John Stephen Ham who is son of David's daughter Rachel. They must have been just down visiting as rest of info shows Missouri facts. So visiting Daniel's family?? I don't know where Ellen was born or when except 1858, cousin John was born Mar 21 1858 Bonham, Fannin Texas. I also don't know when she died except before 1910?? I would love to hear any Peveler info you might have, thanks so much donna whittaker

Although I have been at this for a couple of years, I have only worked on it from time to time. I am the daughter-in-law of William Russell Jarrell, Sr. who is in your genealogy records. He wrote back and forth with a gentleman from Texas regarding the Jarrell ancestory. I have not yet recorded or gone through all of their information yet. I have worked on my line of Summers/Wheeler. Find all of this very fascinating!

I have seen Ferrill spelled Ferrell, at various times in the past.

Who is your oldest documented ancestor? Richard Ferrill ca 1665 NC
Comments:
I am inclined to believe that Ferrill and Ferrell are simply variations in spelling. That said, I have created an internet book, on line, under the name, "CLAN FERRILL."
The book describes, with many gaps, the migration of a an extended Irish-American family.

Thomas Alhanen Ferrill was born in 1847, served in the Confederate army from MS, migrated to TX, married and had several children {this is covered in the chapter, CLAN FERRILL, in Texas]. The USGenWeb coordinator for Llano County TX has posted chapters of the book on the web. I am attaching the Texas chapter.
I don't know the name of the Ferrell in your ancestry. I have several other chapters [NC,SC,GA,AL,MS,LS] that touch on the movement of the clan from NC to TX.
I continue to add to the book, as I obtain more detailed information. I will be happy for you to link your files to mine.
