I have been working on my family tree for about 20 years. It is amazing the information that you can find if you give it time. My husbands Grandparents died very young in 1912 and 1930. He had never seen a picture of them. That became my quest. I will never forget the day that I made the contact that provided me with several pictures. I did a quick search with the information that you gave. If you go to https://familysearch.org/ and then go to search. In the search box put Wisdom and place of birth Texas then go to mother and put in Delia Wisdom. You will find your Grandfathers birth certificate. Also on the 1940 census where it lists him it looks like something is crossed out. I did everything I know how to do ( you can hit invert and it will be like a negative . Sometimes that helps) but couldn't read it..Good Luck in your searching.<br />Carole Z.Trixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16709008159351703747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-24671509395553055972015-04-30T22:51:53.402-05:002015-04-30T22:51:53.402-05:00Every family has a story..

Looking forward to learning more.. been thinking about trying to find more out about my father's side, from Serbia in the 20s.Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08480104863037122555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-72402666758870590552015-04-30T19:10:38.576-05:002015-04-30T19:10:38.576-05:00There is a story in my family, too. My mother'...There is a story in my family, too. My mother's aunt began to research our ancestry and my grandmother begged her to stop. She said my great-aunt would 'dig' up things that were best left unknown. And she was right. My precious, Godly grandmother had a son when she was very young. How I would love to find that story but I may not be able to learn about it. That son was not my grandfather. He was one of my great uncles, yet I wonder if I could learn the truth. My sweet Nanny carried the story to her grave and anyone who knew it is gone, too. You inspire me, my friend. One of these days I think I will pick up where my great-aunt left off. She passed on a wealth of information and I would love to take it farther back. With the new things available I know I could. Thank you for sharing your story. I can't wait to hear what you learn.<br />~Adrienne~Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401476871614514660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14774195.post-81123536493629070722015-04-30T11:25:08.932-05:002015-04-30T11:25:08.932-05:00I have some of these mysteries as well. My great-...I have some of these mysteries as well. My great-grandfather who carries my family name was born when his mother was just 14 years old. He was given his father's last name, but we are not sure his mother was ever married to his father and, other than knowing the father's name, that branch of my family tree is a dead end. We found one person with the same name who died fighting for the South during the Civil War, but no idea if this is actually him. <br /><br />Another story is that the ancestor who carried my mom's family name was actually taken in by a different family and took their name - but his name was something different originally.<br /><br />I wish I could go back in time and ask questions to find out where my family names really come from. Good luck in your search for your story. I enjoy hearing about it.Melodeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14721175322595091905noreply@blogger.com
