Researching one's family tree is a long tedious process and while one can find other family trees posted on the Latter Day Saints page  there really should be more research to feel the facts come to light.  The task has been so rewarding that I started researching my late husband's lineage  and lo and behold, many of his ancestors were settled by mine, and some intermarried, yet the two of us never had any direct connection, in our blood line.

Like most we both have indian blood in our family, with my mother having most.


Currently I am collaborating all of our research on the freepages at rootsweb.com and if you have not searched there, you really should check our their family trees :)    My website there is

I have been visiting local cemeteries taking pictures of headstones of relatives that even my parents did not know about.  Plus at findagrave.com there are volunteers nearly everywhere, who you can contact for pictures of headstones in other states and my collection is growing and it also proves the location, names, and dates of my family.


All states are adding historial information, Bible records, cemetery records, etc at USgenweb.com, just click on the state and start reading.  That is where I located important information dated 1811 for my father's line and it is all free.  Another good page to read is www.accessgenealogy.com and it is also free !  I read about several Indian Chiefs there and found several of my outlaw cousins in my family tree intermarried with those lines.

One fabulously rewarding trip to Greenwood Cemetery revealed the headstone of mom's grandpa W F Fenn, whom she knew very little about, so I ordered his death certificate

and the Bozeman family had a large plot there too!  One thing about these trips is the facts that you can add to your family tree;  just knowing it is so.

The Bozemans in the Carolinas has me baffled because the name Mordecai was only used once and that was speculation even then.

Digging through old boxes of cards and letters, I found a hospital receipt for $9.00 where I was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma and was able to trace the residence of my parents in 1953 to Mingo Road in
the town of Broken Arrow  :)


On the internet I have been in contact with dozens of relatives and send my love to my dad's sisters for their many packages of notes and documents that they have worked on over the years.

One would be amazed and honored to read about their many kin listed on the internet in the many wars for freedom in our great nation.  Even their military records, birth, marriage and death records can be ordered from online.  There are many mailing lists to join and share with.

Some of my mother's cousins are also emailing new information for the Bozeman family tree, and recently my husband's lineage has help through email.

Anne Carter's   Anderson, Brack, Sellers, Doty line goes to the Mayflower, while her Bozeman granny had a cousin who blazed the trail to Bozeman Montana, where he was later murdered by Blackfoot indians while moving cattle into that country.

One Doctor Bozeman of Alabama went to England for his medical education and then settled in New York to practice.


The father of that Bozeman granny married four times and one wife was Ellen Bean, kin to the hanging Judge Roy Bean.


Granny Lorena Bozeman McClain connects to the Moon lineage of Virginia where one of the Moons married Mr Lynch who started the official lynching of criminals in the old days.   Lorena's great great grandfather Elijah Andersonof the Carolinas found in Montgomery Alabama :

My Daddys' parents were found on the 1920 census of Chelsea, in Rogers County Oklahoma, near many other Coonfield families but also near Chief Will Rogers....one of the Coonfields married a full blood Cherkee tghere named Josephine Horn.

Mom's Uncle Joe McClain was short and very dark - even told to sit in the back of the bus away from the whites.


One Cindy Parker was captured by an Indian Chief and became his bride, bearing his children.

Grandma Miller smoked a corn cob pipe and could read the ashes.   Her granddaughter was born with a veil of skin over her face indicating the ability of a "seer".

One Scrimpshire cousin married a Cherokee Chief Dennis Bushyhead - the stories are endless.



We all share pictures, letters and documents hoping to build a family record with facts instead of speculation.  Most of it I post on a webpage for preservation and the weblinks are within this maize of links, so please be patient if you browse and feel free to email me if you like  :)
