Our Family Genealogy Pages

WELCOME!

This site is devoted to my family as it connects in every direction--up, down, and sideways. One of the beauties of this program is that it can handle an almost limitless number of people. And so it goes. I have been working on my genealogy for over fifty years. I started with paper and pencil for a fifth grade family tree assignment. I spoke to all my close relatives and began writing to distant cousins. Over the years, I went through about five family tree computer programs which became progressively more detailed and complex. But they were always on my computer and subject to computer failures and loss. Then there was the option to have a static tree on the internet. I skipped that style of record keeping. Finally, the clouds floated into my genealogical life. Now, my work is on its own website in the clouds instead of on my computer. I make all my additions, corrections, and updates directly to the site, and the information is immediately available to all. Even better, there is room for my photos and documentation. I have chosen to have all the site open to the internet except for names and information about living people. Most of my information is solid until I get to the upper edges of the lines. I have a lot more information and documentation to add. I am always open to more and better information and documentation from any researchers. Do feel free to contact me.

2013 Dent Centennial Family Reunion Calling all Dent Cousins! Planning for the 2013 Dent Centennial Family Reunion is well under way. Save the date: Saturday, 6 July 2013, Musella Baptist Church, Crawford County, Georgia. Actually, the reunion is now morphing into a 3-day event with a Friday night Meet & Great, Saturday Reunion with Family Photos, and Sunday Genealogy Research & Field Trips. Virginia Bentley Ellis is the chairperson for the Communications Committee. She has established an email address for our reunion. Send your contact information to her at: dentfamilyreunion2013@gmail.com We need names of those attending, mailing address, email address, telephone numbers, and ages of children attending. The information you send is IMPORTANT for activity planning purposes, as well as for formal invitations. As you think of and come across other "cousins" please send us their contact information as well. We have 9 Committees in need of more volunteers. If you would like to serve on one of the committees, please let us know. We are asking attendees to bring old family photos, portraits, documents, whatever to the reunion. Currently, we are amassing an amazing amount of old photos of your ancestors. Each attendee will be given a DVD of those photos. If you can, it would even be better to email them in advance--even if you don't know who they are--we may be able to identify them. Then yours can be included in the DVD. I will be sending out a planning update at the end of each month so I look forward to sharing more information then. Kelly Dent, Dent Reunion Coordinator, kellydent@charter.net

DNA Research We now have the results from a 67 marker DNA test from our oldest living Lanham male. The test results have been added to the Lanham study group at Family Tree DNA. The results show that we are among the expected subgroup of the Lanham family but no new connections so far. We all await more Lanham males to add their DNA tests to the group to expand its range.

FindAGrave FindAGrave.com is one of my favorite sites. I have been a contributor to it for over 10 years. I have added over 500 memorials to its current total of 92 million. Most of the graves on this site are also on FindAGrave.
