How Does Luther Brewer, Jr, connect to my family tree?
Luther's grandmother, Violet Markham Brewer, and my 2nd great grandfather James Markham were siblings.
Interesting how all the children except two went outside Mississippi. Three to Gary, Indiana, and three to California. I wonder what happened to them all?
ReplyDeleteIndividually, they likely have interesting stories to tell, successes, failures and regrets.
