Michele Chavez: April 2008 Archives

For years, those of us researching Dawson Seals and his family have been trying to find Dawson's wife Elizabeth's surname and family. It has been a mystery. Cousin Jay Seals had told me years ago that Elizabeth was a Brewer, but I hadn't found anything that proved this.

Recently, I did a Google search on "Dawson Seals" and one of the links that came up was to a page on the Ontario Vital Records Project:

5803-86 Charles Brady SEALS, 40, widower, Baptist minister, Tennessee US, Indianapolis, s/o Dawson SEALS & Elizabeth BREWER, married Frances MATTHEW, 21, Clinton twp, Indianapolis, d/o James MATTHEW & Amelia GATES, witn: Mr. & Mrs. David WADDELL of Plympton twp., 3 Sept 1886 at Chapman House, Sarnia.

For many years, I had a website online called "Genealogy Tales," but when money got tight, I took it down.  I'm glad to say that today I'm resurrecting the website in this blog format, but you will still be able to see the stories and database by clicking on the links in the Pages section to the right.  

I'll be entering the old stories from the old website as I have time and energy, but I'll be posting new  blog entries as I collect more information.  I'm using The Master Genealogist to enter data and publishing it with John Cardinal's Second Site.  

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please feel free to contact me or post a comment on the blog.  I look forward to hearing from you.
