Welcome back, Sherry

What do you think about our having a roll call like they do on other
Rootsweb family lists? Each of us who subscribe could send in their
lineage. That usually brings in a flurry of activity for a while, with
cousins finding each other much faster.

I'll start with my Averittes. You will notice the change in the
spelling from generation to generation, but in my case I use the
spelling Averitte because I have genealogy notes in my great grandmother
Lucy Ann Martin Averitte's own handwriting! Isn't that kool?

Keep in mind, as we always should, that much of my lineage has come to
me from varied sources, and all that I have has not been verified by me.

The last couple, Virginia Ellen Averitte and Samuel Glenn, were my
grandparents. I have some limited lineage of several of these
ancestors. If you connect, let me know and I'll share what has been
shared by others with me.

It would be wonderful if some of you know the names of the wives of my
first four grandfathers in this list.
