| My maiden name is Bryan. It is naturally also my father's name and his father's name. <giggle> My mother's maiden name is Hall. My dad's mother's maiden name is Gaines and her mother's maiden name is Gunn. My father's father's mother's maiden name is Reid. My mother's father's mother's maiden name is Hunter. My mother's mother's maiden name is Weatherly and her mother's maiden name is Young. I and my one and only and younger sister were both born and raised here in the Dallas, Texas area. My father and his siblings were all born in Birmingham, Alabama, and they lived in various places between the births of the various siblings, but were always back in Birmingham, Alabama at the time each child was born. His parents had 5 children in all. When my father was about 8 years of age, they moved to New Orleans, Louisiana where they finished raising their children and lived for a very long time afterwards. I remember that they lived in a trailer by about the time I was born in the 1960s and used it to travel. My father's side of the family loves to travel and have always been known for their wanderlust. What we know about this side of the family is that it seems that they have lived all over the south and then goes up to places like the Carolinas and Tennessee and Kentucky and Virginia. We think the Bryans are supposed to connect to the original immigrants who came from Ireland to Pennsylvania and then moved to the Yadkin River Valley. I am talking a direction that goes from where the family lived in recent times to where the family lived in earlier times. Even the Bryan line, even though it supposedly came from Ireland, was here by the time of the American Revolutionary War (yes, Virginia, there is as such thing as Irish Immigrants to the Americas before the Irish Potato Blight of the 1800s <giggle>). In the early to mid 1970s, my grandparents on this side of the family moved to Lakeland, Florida where they lived in a retirement community until they died. They are buried in a town in Mississippi that is a short drive from New Orleans. Anyrate, on my mom's side of the family my sister and I and our cousins are 7th generation Texans with there being about six generations on a pure matriarchal (sp?) line between my mother and the earliest generation to move to Texas who lived in the Southeast part of Texas in and around the Huntsville, Texas area. I am not saying this to brag or anything, just to give an idea of the trail here. Not much wanderlust here. <giggle> My mom was one of four siblings. Both of my grandparents on this side of this family died in Huntsville, Texas. Anyrate, this is my attempt to stick a home page onto the Family TreeMaker Website. It is actually my second attempt as I tried this much earlier, but I could not figure out what happened to my submission and I could not get the software to allow me to make a second attempt at that time. I hope to be adding an InterneTree shortly. I know FTM should have a copy or two of information I have submitted to them. I just got through looking up the Volumes that I contributed to. They are Volume #13, Tree #425 and Volume #24. Though there may be a few differences to it by now like more children by my first cousins and all. May whoever is interested in more information write either me at clbs@dfw.net or my Aunt Tricia (goes by Pat by non-family members) at USDMan@aol.com. My aunt probably won't have any information on my mom's side of the family I don't think though. I hope that something on this page has been helpful to you, the reader. |
