A Second Look has morphed into a brand new animal. It seems the more I review the research that I’d started back in 2008, the more I discover. Not only regarding my ancestors, but their place(s) in history, and those that they came into contact with.
A Little Dab’ll Do Ya
It was this vintage commercial that made me think of my DNA results. “A little dab’ll do ya.” Really, now?
A Second Look: Chronology of Robert Lee Terrell, Sr.
I’m diving deeper into the rabbit hole by adding my maternal great-grandfather to my A Second Look project. What can I say? I’m a sucker for puzzles, problem solving, and investigating! A journey like this one practically demands it. Whenever I discover something new, I feel like I’ve hit a ridiculously enormous lottery jackpot.
I’ve decided to start with creating a timeline or chronology, as it seems to be most commonly called.
Robert Lee Terrell, Sr.
I the midst of my second look project, I realized that my maternal grandfather’s history has been totally ignored. So, I took a pause from my intensive Askew research to focus on the lineage of my maternal grandfather, David Terrell, Sr.
The name of my great-grandfather, Robert Terrell was proven with the 1930 and 1940 United States Federal Census. His full name, Robert Lee Terrell, Sr. was found in the U.S Cemetery and Funeral Home Collection. Great for a start, but I still needed to find the names of his parents.
