Off on a Family History adventure! I’m heading to St. Charles, Missouri, for the National Genealogical Society annual conference. On the way I’ve stopped to meet our 3rd cousin’s wife, Sharon. Sadly, her husband Ron passed away several weeks ago after a year-long illness. I’m hoping we will be able to go to the cemetery where our common ancestors, Daniel & Jane (Williams) Davis are buried, and perhaps see if Alvina (Davis) Jones has a tombstone there. Unfortunately, the snow, rain and floods that affected Nebraska over the last 6 weeks have affected Missouri, too, and along with spring rains have apparently left the country roads to the cemetery impassable. Darn. Our second chance to go to the cemetery is next Sunday. Hope it works out.
I met Sharon through Ancestry.com. She posted a photo of our (Ron’s) common ancestor, Jane (or Jenny) (Williams) Davis. I contacted her to ask if I could copy it and let her know I would be passing by to the conference. I hope the weather will cooperate and I’ll get to the cemetery on this trip.
