The first person I will blog about is my grandmother, Annie Lois Howell.  She was one of many children born to Fristus and Katie Watkins Howell.  The photo below is Lois with two of her sisters about 1940s perhaps?

Below is her birth certificate.  It appears to be a delayed certificate, or at least it says her name was added to the report in 1945, and was witnessed and sealed in 1970.  Not exactly sure why .  Her father, Fristus Haywood Howell was 48 years old, and her mother Katie Watkins Howell was 26 years old.  She was the fifth child out of a total of 13 children born.

Welcome

Howell is a very common name.  Sometimes it is TOO common.  My Howells come from North Carolina, fought in the Civil War.  The line can be traced back to the Revolutionary era.
