Thanks to a resourceful genealogist, Ruth Watters Burks, W. Jacob Parker’s Bible was found and saved for future Parker researchers. See the family record from his Bible.

It is with a sad heart that I inform the family of the passing of Judy Brown, loving mother of Kellie Brown Martinez. She was preceded in death by her husband, Billy Wayne Brown, who died from cancer.

Viewing services will be held July 21, 2010 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Melendez-Sherman Funeral Home, at 6409 Upshaw, Humble, Texas 77396. (281) 441-9209. A tribute memorial will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. for anyone who would like to openly speak about Judy.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the American Cancer Society.

A genealogy record is only as good as its sources. To ensure accuracy, I appreciate feedback on errors and omissions.

In addition, I have started adding Source Pages. Source Pages will identify the sources for information for each surname set of pages. Please check back regularly for more Sources.

See Bertling Sources
See Braddock Sources
See Foster Sources

For example, a family Bible is an excellent source of information for family records because the information in it was probably recorded by someone in the family who had an interest in keeping accurate records, such as a mother or sibling (see the Wernli Family Bible below).
