The Roberts Brothers~Remembering on Memorial Day

  On this Memorial Day, my thoughts are as always on my maternal grandfather, Gilbert Ernest Roberts, and two of his brothers who lost their lives while serving in WWII.

May 31~

Margaret Frances Gibson Thames (1854-1929), my paternal Great Great Grandmother would be celebrating her 160th birthday on this day. Fanny was the daughter of Benjamin Reese Gisbon (1824-1907) and Margaret Canty Walker (1839-1900).

Honor Roll Project-Horry County,SC Vietnam Memorial

      Heather Rojo of Nutfield Genealogy has issued a challenge once again this Memorial Day. She is asking Bloggers to take a picture of and transcribe names from a War Memorial in our local area. The blog posts will be added to her Honor Wall Project, an ongoing effort to make veterans names available in search engines on the internet.

      On behalf of my Father, John Allen Hudson, who served in Vietnam and has lived the past several years suffering from the effects of his time there, I would like to add the Horry County, SC Vietnam Memorial to the Honor Roll Project.
     This Memorial, which was dedicated on May 25, 1985, can be found in Conway, Horry, SC in front of the old courthouse on the corner of Elm and 3rd Avenue.
