Hello David,
I was just sitting here bored when I decided to Google myself. Much to my surprise I came across a website--yours--in my search that listed not only myself but my siblings as well, so I decided to check it out. I am Julie Alicia Sampson, daughter of Janice Lee Marshall, granddaughter of Edwin Yancy Marshall, great-granddaughter of Elmer Eldon Marshall, and great-great-granddaughter of Elias Yancy Marshall. I did notice a couple of mistakes in your research though. For example, my sister's (Jacquelyn Marie Sampson) third son's name is Jason Edward Klimsza, not John Edward Klimsza. My aunt, Geralyn Elizabeth Marshall, was born on March 15, 1950, not April 15, 1950, and she died on April 11, 1988, not the 12th. There have been a few additions to the family that have also not been listed.
If you would like any more information about my family, please let me know. If I don't know what'd you like to know, I'll ask my uncle, Gordon, who's very much into genealogy.
Sincerely,Julie Sampson
