Judson Jarrett
Found some possible new ancestry information for my daughter's Jarrett line last night online.
1880 Census of Jefferson Twp., Fayette Co., IA shows Katie Jarrett, age 14, living in the household of Judson Jarrett, age 72, born Virginia. The names of the other children line up perfectly with what I had on Kate Jarrett who married Henry Miguet in Buchanan Co., IA.
Later I found information on Judson Jarrett family in the 1856 state census of Iowa in Fayette Co., IA, and in 1850 census in Koscuisko Co., IN. The Iowa WPA cemetery database has Judson buried June 13, 1881 in Fayette Co., IA.
Still working on the putting the details together to try and tie this line into what I already have.
Kate Jarrett and Henry Miguet were married December 23, 1883 in Buchanan Co., IA. Their son, Frank Field Miguet, was my daughter's 2nd-great grandfather.

Chivlare - Foloway Family
Just spoke again with Mark Wilkins in Tennessee, it appears that this family history book that is being prepared will be available after the 1st of the year in a CD format. I asked him to let me know what he finds out.
The person who is putting it together is stressing that there are strong Native American ties in the Foloway line and Mark was talking about even money being owed to the family. I hope for his sake that it is not a scam.

Cemetery Plots Make a Nice Christmas Gift
One of the more amusing (at least to me) incidents in my family history research was the story related to me by mother regarding an interesting Christmas gift that her parents received from my great-grandparents.
Apparently one year for Christmas my great-grandparents, Virgil and Edna Wright, gave all of their children cemetery plots for a Christmas gift. Now this may not have seemed like a great gift at the time, but everyone will eventually die - and planning ahead makes good sense. Today my grandfather and grandmother are buried right next to my great-grandparents because of this gift.
In light of the family dynamic, the gift makes sense - afterall, the 80 acres that the family farm sat one were divided into thirds, with one great-aunt on the east and the other on the west. When the house passed down into my immediate family, I grew up having great-aunts on both sides. A very tight knit family, indeed.
Pre-planning for one's funeral is a good idea, and I'll admit that I wouldn't mind if I received a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. Although, I think I would prefer to be buried at Park Cemetery closer to cousin James Dean. For some reason, I've always enjoyed that look and feel of that cemetery.
We're just a few days away from Christmas and there are many gifts to be received. No matter what I receive, I'm sure that it won't top my great-grandparents for the most unusual gift.

Pearl Harbor : Great-Uncle John High
Pearl Harbor, the "day that will live in infamy", touched my immediate family in a number of ways. Not only did my grandfather and several great-uncles enlist to fight the Japanese - but my great-uncle John High was on board the U.S.S. Oklahoma on that fateful day.
I didn't get much opportunity to ever really talk to him about his experiences, but I do know that I'm thankful to God that he survived the attack.

Updating FindAGrave Memorial Pages
Today I spent a little bit of time updating and adding a few memorial pages to FindAGrave. If you haven't checked out that site, I would encourage you to do so. Right now, my plans are to continue to add memorial pages for as many relatives as I can and request photos of their tombstones. So far, I've had success with photographs of tombstones as far away as Massachusetts and Iowa.
