Family history isn’t just about dates and charts—it’s about people, choices, and the ties that held families together across miles and generations. If you love genealogy, migration stories, or simply seeing how scattered records become a living family narrative, this one’s for you.

My 5th great-grandmother, Elly Hays Rodgers, moved her family into the Mississippi Territory hoping for fertile land and a fresh start. She didn’t know she was stepping into a war zone — Creek warriors raided their home, stole their animals, and threatened their lives. One raid even sparked a deadly feud that could have ended her family. And yet, she survived. Because of her courage, generations later, I am here — carrying a piece of her strength with me every day. https://unfoldingthestorygenealogy.blogspot.com/2026/01/elly-hays-rodgers-life-that-made-mine.html

Researching my 3rd great-grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Hearin, reminded me why records matter. Dates and places tell us when and where, but a single letter written by his grandson in 1913 added the color—the wars he lived through, the roles he held, and the complicated, sometimes uncomfortable realities of his time. Family history isn’t always easy, but telling it honestly is how we truly understand the past.

This post looks at German Christmas Eve (Heiligabend) traditions brought to Texas by my ancestors—Anna & Peter Schorsch, the Henry Sievers family, and the Michael Englert families—and how cultural traditions become part of our inherited story.
Genealogy lives in moments like these.

Meet Thomas Chittim Knight (my Great Grandfather), who served as a musician in the 1st Regiment Texas Cavalry during the Spanish-American War in 1898. Not all heroes carry rifles—some carry bugles. Thomas answered the call and served with honor.

Remembering my Daddy today. ❤️
He’s been gone for 12 years, but his presence is still woven into so many moments of my life. I miss his voice, his laugh, his steady way of loving our family. Time may have passed, but my heart still reaches for him every day. Love you always, Daddy.

Today I’m feeling especially grateful for one of our family’s most treasured heirlooms — our family story, Bluebonnet Blue, written by Kathryn Meyer Coe Aguras and William Henry Meyer. 🌿
It’s more than a book; it’s a collection of stories, memories, and history woven together to keep our roots alive for future generations. Every time I open its pages, I’m reminded of where we came from and the legacy we’re blessed to carry forward.
Honoring the past, celebrating the present, and preserving it all for those yet to come.
