My own life and my opinions are shared at When I was 69.

REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

Favorite Photo

  I have 2 women's photos that are just about equally my favorites.

A studio photo of my mother, Mataley Mozelle Webb Munhall Rogers (1917-2003)



My namesake...but Eugenia had already been taken when I was born, so I was Barbara Booth. I guess I'm glad I didn't get Almeda (also spelled Almetta) as my middle name! Eugenia Almeda Booth Miller (1873-1936)  had been raised by her grandparents after being orphaned at a young age. She then helped greatly in raising my mother as well as her own 4 daughters.

Incidentally, her mother had the same name, Eugenia Almetta Whitty Booth.

    Barbara Booth does go well together. I have my mother's maiden name as my middle name - Graham. My mother wanted to give me her mother's first name as my middle name, she said DON'T DO IT!Her name was Fannie. I think I prefer Graham.

    I miss your wonderfully detailed posts about your family, either far far back, or more recent! But I will look forward to the April A-Z challenge. I'm pretty glad you aren't Kristin Fannie either...Graham has a certain seriousness which Fannie lacks!

Looking forward to hearing from you! If you leave your email then others with similar family trees can contact you. Just commenting falls into the blogger dark hole; I'll gladly publish what you say just don't expect responses.
