Please contact Chug with any corrections or additions. He is very interested in family history and images of ancestors from the 18th and 19th centuries. Do we have a genealogist in the family, budding or otherwise? Does anyone have or is anyone working on a family tree?

Here is an image of a family tree that was put together by a Roberts in Kentucky sometime in the 1960s. It is a good summary of Papa’s side of the family. It has most of JoJo and Papa’s grandchildren up through the late 1950s or early 1960s. The paper copy is approximately 2 x 4 feet.

Family reunion, summer of 1975, celebrating JoJo and Papa’s 50th anniversary – love the bell bottom outfits on the John Travolta fans: Joe T is reaching for Bogey on the floor, and Kelly M is to his right. But who is the disco dude in white at the far end? Is that Billy M?
