Welcome new MyArnolds Users, new Additions and Family Finds
17 June 2008 - 7:54:26am

We wish to welcome Ronny Ferrell, Roger Creed, Charles Byford, Shaunna Liley, and Sharon Bates to the MyArnolds.com genealogy website. We thank them in advance for their work and contributions.

Ronny Ferrell is a Hopkins county, Texas-based genealogy researcher quite active his own Ferrell line as well as the Allied families - Keith, Arnold, Griffin, and more. We look forward to some terrific contributions and resolution of some walls from NE Texas. Ronny has been generous and prolific in sharing his work with others - a most refreshing and welcome addition here.

Roger Creed has already added much new information on the Creed, Adams and Dunlap families of Eastern Illinois (Crawford County) and this ties in nicely with Kay Wood's efforts on the Swinger families. Additionally, he is a talented and prolific photographer and his additions of now nearly fifty headstone photos is greatly appreciated. Photographs and other documents are terrific enhancements and important sourcing materials for genealogical facts. Remember to provide sources on the data you enter to support your information.

Charles Byford has joined to fill in information on the Stephen Jarvis' ancestors, including Anne Parry.

Sharon Bates is a cousin, related through Arnolds and Mileys of Pike County, Indiana. She and her sister are Abells.

Shaunna Liley is descended from the Kentucky Arnold branch of Josiah Arnold's children and is close kin to Janice Arnold Remmers. She has been instrumental in providing some leads and filling some holes on these Arnolds and we thank her.

Finally, during the week of May 20th, 2008, we were contacted by Ina Walls in regards to her husband's kin, William Elmer Arnold of Hopkins county, Texas. William's parents were William Oscar Arnold and Ida Jan Patton. Oscar's parents are still currently a mystery, as he was born between 1880 and 1885, probably in Hopkins county and has not yet been located with his wife in the 1900 or 1910 census. By 1910, Ida had remarried with Charles Beadles and there is no record of Oscar. While assisting her, we have discovered more cousins eminating from our 5xGGF, Joseph and Elizabeth Coe Arnold, including descendants of their daughter Elizabeth W Arnold Veal and their son Christopher Columbus Arnold's daughter, Minnie Arnold Posey as well as his son Ira Moda Arnold's children in Hopkins, Hunt and Dallas county, Texas. We hope to contact some of these newly discovered cousins and acquire still more data for MyArnolds.com.

We again thank our newest users for their contributions and time and we pray all our cousins remain healthy, wealthy and wise. Stephen and Kate Arnold
