      Hi, my name is Karen Gerry Thomhave. My grandmother was Onie Pearl Marshall. I am thrilled to find a part of my heritage!!! Her parents were Willis Dewitt Marshall and Etta Florence James. Her husband was William Preston Gerry. I have always been told that Onie was born on May 4th, 1900. My father was William Macadoo Gerry (1918-1963) I barely know anything of my heritage due to my Dad's sudden, untimely death. We have only had brief and sporadic encounters with my relatives in Winston Salem. They are wonderful and I enjoyed their company, although only twice in my adult life. Lately I had been trying to find info on the internet. Seems as though I was getting a little push... I started to become so frustrated searching the Gerry line and today I finally decided the Marshall line may hold some promise as the name appeared often in the Moravian search I had found. I even sent out a prayerful plea to my ancestors to help me. Within 2 minutes I found your web-site! I was going to stop looking at all those names and go have a coffee, but decided to scroll a little more and EUREKA!!!! There they were! Thank you, thank you for this invaluable information. What an amazing person you must be to have researched all this. I just want to thank you for giving me and my entire family something to grasp and even hold onto after all these years of wondering. Can't wait to tell my husband and daughter,my mom and 5 siblings. I have bits of info but not much. My Aunt Sandy is the only surviving child of Onie and William. I hope you will contact me. I can't wait to get started reading everything you have on your web page. I am so happy! God Bless you and all you do. Karen :)
