Last week, James Clinton Gambrell contacted us. We added his connection to the Gambrell family and now need to broaden his family. Also Curtis Gambrell has sent some wonderful photos that need to be added. So we squeezed in the following work this week:

1. John Newton Gambrell, Jr. (i187585) and wife gravestone photo by Curtis Gambrell
2. Enoch Brazeale, (i187689) gravestone by Curtis Gambrell & Cemetery
3. Nancy Gambrell Brazeale gravestone by Curtis Gambrell
4. Daryl Gambrell sent another photo, and this one has been restored and colored! Lawrence Wilson Gambrell

Nellie Rowland continues her work and has uncovered an unknown photo of a Gambrell from Johnson County, Texas. The photo studio was in Cleburne, Texas. Can anyone help us identify this fellow?

Challenged by the provision of Nelle Rowlandâ??s work, we continued the work on that line of Gambrell, focusing this week on William Ephraim Mitchell Gambrell. Here is what we got done:

1. Narcissus Emmaline Gambrell in 1870 census
2. James Franklin Gambrell household in 1870 census
3. William O Alexander household in 1850 census
4. William O. Alexander household in 1860 census
5. William O. Alexander household in 1870 census
6. Jimmy Brysonâ??s Registry on the William and Narcissa Shaw Gambrell family, page 15, 16.

Nelle Rowland added comments to our blog, but I think her questions need more exposure! So we are adding this to the Most Wanted section of the website as well.

Additions

It was pointed out that we did not have Pleasant Marion Gambrellâ??s family in the Gambrell family tree. So we set about correcting that by trying to cleanup a large Gambrell data file. But it was too much to add right now. So we opted to just add 65 members of his family line, and that was not so bad!

Cemeteries

938. Belton Cemetery, Anderson County, South Carolina

939. Ebenezar Baptist Church & Cemetery, Anderson County, South Carolina

940. Honea Path Presbyterian Church & Cemetery, Anderson County, South Carolina

941. North Burns Cemetery, Washita County, Oklahoma

942. Restland Cemetery, Young County, Texas

Howdy all! There was a fatality in the process of moving to a new website. Something went wrong and we had to remove all the images and their links from the new setup, since they were duplicated! So now we have to go through each of the over 1700 files and tell them what category they belong to, what album they go to, and where their thumbnails are, and whether or not they are the default image for each person.

In short, this is going to take many hours of work to restore, so they will be appearing as we have time to sift through the huge pile. I do hope for this reason alone that we will not have to move again very soon. This job is huge and follows many hours of trying to move things. So in the meanwhile, please be patient! You can certainly point things out and those items will be handled with a priority over the general list.

So what does this mean? It means work on other aspects of the family tree has to take a back seat till this project is restored. I will be so glad when I can sit back and know that there is a family line that is completely done and current and only needs to be looked at to add current events or recovered photos and information.

I cannot wait to get back to working on this family formally, but in the meanwhile, Joyce Jones graciously sent information on John Newton Gambrell and his wife. Thanks Joyce!

Daryl Gambrell Sr. also sent information on John Gambrell III. He has spent 40 years researching his family and we hope to hear more from him soon!
