I am so excited to be in contact with you and I am pretty sure that we haven't to date exchanged information so I anticipate a wonderful journey of finding our connection. My gr aunt shared that an elder person in our family told her that if there is a MILLER then there is a relative. My gr aunt recalled being told this on more than one occasion as she was growing up. She is the baby of 9 children and is currently in her late 70's. I will attempt to list what I have thus far regarding my MILLER lineage so we can begin the digging (smile): MYRA MILLER, born circa 1858 in Alabama per 1880 Census. It is interesting that her father is indicated to have been from North Carolina and mother from Alabama. The very next household has the following-- Armisted Miller from NC Hariet Miller from Alabama Samuel Miller Edward Miller Robert Miller Creecy Miller Susan Miller On the 1900 Census I believe that MYRA's name is misspelled as MARRY. It shows that 9 children are in the household; where as it shows that she had 13 children with 12 still living as of the Census. These are the children on the Census-- Esmes (?) 1879 Francis(?) 1882 Jim 1884 Anna 1888 William 1880 Thomas 1893 Ella 1896 My gr grandmother Louella ANDERSON md Elijah CROSS Elbert 1897 Cresy 1899 Additional children on the 1880 Census are-- Susan 1876 Albert 1878 Emma 1880 It is quite possible that some listed as children might very well be MYRA's siblings and/or WILLIAM and MYRA both had children prior to their marriage to one another. I've got a lot of digging to do in this area. Per the 1910 Census it appears that MYRA was deceased because WILLIAM is shown as a Widower with 4 of the children in his household-- Jim 22 William 21 Ellis 15 Tresses or Presses 13 Per my search on Ancestry.Com, it appears that MYRA's death date may have been 21 Mar 1910. LOUELLA ANDERSON married my gr grandfather, ELJIAH CROSS and they had 9 children. My grandmother was ETTA MAE CROSS and she passed away in 1983. Is any of the above ringing any bells? I have printed your emails and I am combing through them to see what I can find. Do you know anything about the African Tribe that your MILLER line may have come from? Per some information that I received because of my posting a vintage photo of what is said to be MYRA, I've been directed to research the Fulani Tribe because of the thinner nose and lips. I will stop here for now to await your response. Rich Blessings, Terri
