I'm going to take a slightly different approach to my blog. I'm trying to organize all my genealogy information into timelines for individuals, which includes dates and sources for all the people in my files organized in a timeline-like fashion.
I'm going to start with my grandfather, L. C. Farmer and my grandmother, Louise Harvell Farmer.

Her husband, Leroy, is my 3rd cousin 2X removed. Our common ancestor would be Peter Michael who married Rebecca Ann Martin. We may have another connection through the Smith family, as I am also descended from a Smith family from the same area, but haven't fully researched them yet as they were a recent discovery.
