So someone asked how I got the picture in the previous post.  It is really a simple explanation but I need to delve into my family history a little to explain fully.  My father was adopted right after his birth, due to health complications he was able to locate his birth mother just after I was born.  She lives near my dad's legal family, so there have been times we will go visit her.  A few years ago my dad asked her for family history information.  She gave him names, pictures, and old possessions of different people.  So this picture is one that she gave us.

I know this picture is on the side but I wanted to put it here so it would be bigger and introduce you to the family a little.  This is a picture of Martha Ellen Duncan Baccus and her family.  From left to right Ray Baccus, Martha, and Pearl and Carl Brabbin.  Ray and Pearl are her children, and Carl is Pearl's husband.
