Whitener in 1883 and they moved to Murray County, Georgia sometime in the next year or two.  Between 1904 and 1907, they moved […]

Pattersons Married in Gilmer County, Georgia

March 10, 2013 Tonia Kendrick

I was trying, without luck, to locate a marriage record for some of my Patterson ancestors.  This family line is confusing to me, so I decided to make a table of all the marriages that took place in Gilmer County, GA that included a Patterson.  I’ve linked to the people who are already in my […]

North Georgia Map 1846

Last week, I posted what I know about Jackie Patterson from his birth about 1794 in South Carolina up until his marriage to Jane Chapman in 1828 in Hall County, Georgia.  This is part of my attempt to pull everything together and make sense of all the bits of information that I’ve found so far.

John “Jackie” Patterson – The Early Years

Do You Miss Research Opportunities Because You Think You Don’t Have Time?

July 22, 2011 Tonia Kendrick

I was in the neighboring county a couple of weeks ago when I realized I had about thirty minutes to kill, so I sped over to the library. Normally I would not have done this, because I didn’t have any genealogy information with me and I would have thought I didn’t have enough time to […]

Thar’s Gold in Them Thar Hills

July 6, 2011 Tonia Kendrick

I made an interesting discovery while working on census records for some of the Pattersons/Chapmans.  I was looking at the 1840 record for my fourth great-grand uncle, Joseph Patterson (born 1790/1794).  The 1840 census is two pages wide, so make sure you always look at that second page.  I almost missed this find, myself, and […]

About Tonia

Hi, I am Tonia Kendrick. Genealogy is my hobby, my passion (those who say obsession would not be accused of crazy-talk). While I had helped my mom with genealogy as a teenager, I first caught the bug myself when computers came into the picture.

Now we are well into the 21st-century and every day brings a new genealogy adventure, whether it is a new record group to explore online or a visit to a cemetery, courthouse, or other repository. It all comes together here. Read more about Tonia's Roots or contact Tonia. Read More…
