Where To Begin

Where to begin with the Conner Family? For me I began with Lillian Adeline Conner, my great grandmother. She was the daughter of Joseph Washington Conner and Cynthia Carolina Flynn. I was named after Granny Cynt. I have a copy of the Widow's Application for Pension and a copy of the "Report and Settlement of Estate of Cynthia Conner" filed 09/24/1938 in which all her children are named.
Joseph Washington Conner was born 15th of July 1845 in Bill's Creek, Rutherford County, NC. He is listed in the home of Jackson Conner as a 7 year old in the 1850 census of Bill's Creek. Jackson Conner was born about 1820 and married Adeline Thomson.

First Post

Wow! Setting up this blog has been fun. It is exciting to see all the fun things I can add to the site. Can't wait to try them out.
This is a work in progress. Stop by frequently and let me know what you think.

Introduction

Hi,
I'm Jane and I started this blog to publish tidbits of research on the Conner family of North Carolina. My hope is that others will read  the tidbits and match it with one of their tidbits to complete the puzzle of the Conner Family.

Where did they first migrate from into the North Carolina territory?
Which dock did they first step onto when immigrating to the Americas?
Is there a Conner Family Bible for the Conner Family of Rutherford, Lincoln and McDowell Counties of North Carolina?
Who else is researching the Conner Family?
I have found Conners who migrated to Indiana, Missouri and Texas....Are they connected? How?

So... you can tell that genealogy is a pass-time for me, especially the Conner Family.

I can't wait to share some of the tidbits I have in my 6,000 name genealogy collection with the anticipation of finding out what tidbits are out there.

Give me a shout if you have interest in this family.
