Our Story

Background/goals of the site

Hi, welcome to our story. A little background about the site: About two years ago my grandmother passed away and my dad found a box of letters my grandpa had written her before they got married. Those letters were a wonderful window into past and taught us so much about their relationship. Yet, they also exposed just how little we knew about our own family roots. See my grandfather died when my dad was very young and my grandma got remarried my papa. Grandma never really talked about the Pollard's, so most of us really didn't know much about our history.

Whats next.

Here is my first ever "blog" post. If you read through my articles you will see that there are still a few questions that are just burning inside me. The fact is I have barely touched the surface. I would still like to know Fredrick and Rebecca Pollard's final resting place. I have checked with the archivist in Cooke County and they don't have any record of their final resting places. I found a reference to Fredrick Pollard being buried in Hood cemetery, but that the headstone was gone. I have a problem with the source though.
