• Great grandfather Earnest Gillis born abt 1879. (37 KB)
  This is my great grandfather Earnest Gillis. If you have any information to share regarding my great grandfather please email me.
• Ollie Mae at her 104th Birthday Party (695 KB)
  Some of my family went to see Ollie Mae on her 104th Birthday, 2-19-2006. She lives at the Brownsboro Nursing home in Louisville, KY. She tells me she has no aches or pains and takes no medicine except when she gets a little "nerves". She played piano for us. She was full of energy. We spent over three hours with her-she wore us out! The next day we returned to say goodbye and she gave me pictures to copy.
• Great grandmother Ann Gillis (677 KB)
  Dressed up and ready to go.
• Great grandmother Ann Gillis aka Ann Bailey (159 KB)
  My great grandmother Ann Gillis later married Tom Bailey. Her maiden name was Porter. Fannie Porter, her sister, married Charles Gillis. I am searching for relatives. Email me if you are related.
• Porter Sisters? (173 KB)
  When I saw Grandaunt Ollie Mae 2-19-06, on her 104th birthday, she told me that the lady in the top picture is her mother. She did not identify the lady on the left in the bottom picture but I believe that she is my great gradmother's younger sister, Fannie. Fannie married Charles Gillis and Anne, my great grandmother, married Earnest Gillis. Ollie mae told me that Caroline Gillis was her grandmother therefore I must conclude that Earnest and Charles were not brothers but rather's cousins. The 1880 census records show Caroline in the home of Ned and Jane Gillis, the parents of Charles and George. She was listed as a sister-in-law. My research in the 1870 census records indicate that she was raised by Ned and Jane which explains why she carried the Gillis last name. Jane's last name before marriage was Kendal(e).
