My birth name was Margaret Ann Purswell - born 7/5/48 - I have 3 brothers.I was born in Atlanta, GA as were 2 of my brothers.We moved to Birmingham, AL in 1956 and attended school there until we later all moved to other parts of the country.My father was Sam Calhous Purswell who was the son of Col. Sam Purswell of Alabama.My father had a sister, Margaret, and brother Patrick.Margaret had 3 children and I believe Patrick had 2 children.
My grandfather had a sister (maybe more - but I only met the one) who lived in Eufala, AL.I believe he was from somewhere in South Alabama.I have other relatives with the last name of Calhoun who lived in Eufala.
My father has passed.My brothers and myself are all interested in finding more information about the Purswell family history.My older brother, also known as Sam Purswell, lives in Maryland.He told me about a Purswell family reunion that happens every year (?) in Houston, TX.If you know anything about this or can provide additional information, I would be very appreciative.
Thank you.
