Detailed diary offers invaluable insight

Here's an article from the The Clarion Ledger about The Diary of David Gavin. Families mentioned in the pages are: Aberly (Averly), Appleby, Canaday, Clayton, Firman (Furman), Horn, Hughs (Hughes), Huger, Inabinet, Koger, Moorer, Muckenfuss, Murray, Myers, Pye, Rowe, Rumph, Shuler, Sistrunk, Utsey and West. The article reminds us that "Journal keepers are one of the biggest blessings you can find in your family research."

Coincidently this week, one of our writers, Ruby Coleman, submitted an article, Ancestral Memoirs, on how to locate letters, diaries or journals that contain first hand accounts!
