1-on-1 with Cheri Hudson Passey: Featuring Guest Cindy Roe Littlejohn, Author of Palmetto Pioneers






Author Cindy Roe Littlejohn joins me to discuss her family history book Palmetto Pioneers: The Immigrants. She explains how she came to write this creative non-fiction work and the importance of sharing your family story.





From years of research to put it all together in narrative form, Palmetto Pioneers is an example of how to put flesh on the bones to tell family stories.

She shares the story of Mary Adeline Walker from the low country of South Carolina and the journey she takes with her family to what was then considered the wilds of Florida.

Watch as Cindy shares how this book can help people interested in writing their own family narrative and also be a resource for those with ancestors who lived in the location during this time in South Carolina and Florida history.






About Cindy:

Cindy Roe Littlejohn
Author of Palmetto Pioneers &
Managing Partner, Roe Sisters Tree Farms

Palmetto Pioneers: The Emigrants: Before there were cowboys, pioneers, frontier justice, and Indian wars in the Old West, there was frontier Florida. Florida, before statehood, had it all plus alligators, humidity, and mosquitos. The narrative-nonfiction book, Palmetto Pioneers: The Emigrants, describes what it was like for a family who moved there in 1829.

GenFriends Genealogy Chat Show-Relative Race Season 11, Day 10-Team Reunion


The panel Melissa Barker, Laura Hedgecock, Shelley Murphy, Mary Kircher Roddy, and I welcome winners Karen & Thaddeus from Team Red, Leah and Nolin from Team Green, and Kentrelle from Team Blue! Unfortunately, Jon from Team Blue had to work. Carolen from Team Black had technical difficulties and could not join the meeting. Tia was not able to be with us either. So, not a full reunion, and we missed being unable to talk with them about this record-breaking season.


Watch as we get updates on family connections and learn how the teams felt about the season's challenges and emotional events.





We loved meeting those who could join us and hope to have them back on during future seasons!

Thank you for another great season! Family is everything!!

What was your favorite part about Season 11?
