You may notice that there is a “New Look” to the home page.

This change was brought about by the addition of  Word Press to this site.   Word Press will allow me to let everyone know the latest happenings and changes to this website by posts to the home screen.   This change meant changing the look of the home screen and moving the main genealogy pages

The main genealogy pages may be accessed by the “Genealogy” tab at the top left corner of the screen

My latest search was into Benton County, Missouri for 4 cemeteries last weekend.

My search started off with looking for the Fristoe Cemetery , Fristoe, Benton County, Missouri, USA.  which took us onto a dirt road and and after 7 miles on this back woods country road it ended abruptly in a dead end as the road in front of us was under water.   We backed up and turned around and headed toward the next one   which was the LP Union Cemtery, Benton County , Missouri, USA which ended in not much better luck as the sign read “Bridge Out Ahead”

I was not going to get discouraged as this was winter in Missouri so one more try and it was this time to

Spring Branch Church of the Bethren and Cemetery – (Dunkard), Avery, Benton County, Missouri, USA

Travel to this cemetery was a success and it is located in the most beautiful valley called “Breshears Valley” in Benton County.   The cemetery is part of the Spring Branch Church of the Bethren and sits to the right of the church and is mostly Breshears descendants.   As time would allow I took photos of most of the headstones with the help of my husband Robert.    I also have photos of the cemetery and surrounding area attached to Spring Branch Cemetery

With that cemetery done and time getting short we had time for one more cemetery which was Shady Grove Cemetery, Racket, Benton County, Missouri, USA

Well that is the latest adventure and stayed turned for the  next one!
