Virginia,Dixie,James, and all the rest:
I'm Mai Lisa Tiwater,B10-13-65 in Ceres, CA., and I just cannot beleive after all the years of 'Running into that BRICK WALL' when trying to find any info re: tiwater family history,...........I HAVE FINALLY HIT THE MOTHER LODE OF "ALL MOTHER LODES "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WWOOOOHOOOOOOOOOHOOOHOOWEEE!!! I'm ,daughter of: Enest Neil Tiwater B11-8-39 indian territory Omulgee/Ofuskee? Ok,son of: Floyd Wesley Tiwater B APRIL 1914(same territory)/D MARCH 17,1961 Modesto, CA.-Stanislaus county.Son of James Wesley,brother of marvin,edith, and stella. To all inquiring from kennowick,as well i'm sure,I just went into my box of things i saved when my grandmother had me clean out the upstaits of her barn a few years ago, and while doing so I discovered this OLD suitcase that was full with old pictures and letters,and things. So after i looked through it and finally saw pictures of my dad and his brothers as young boys and lots of other things, I told my g'ma to look in the suitcase asI was sure she didn't want to throw it away, and she said,"No it's trash, get rid of it too." I asked if she was sur,she said yes,so Brought it home and still have it. Afew minutes ago I looked at some of the letters in it and found a postcard from 1942 to mu g'pa, Floyd W. from his dad, James, a letter to my dad Ernie from hisuncle marvin,& auntleaora,withanotherletter from his g'pa james postmarkes march 1962, guess from where; Kennewich!!!!!!!theres also more to the story about the mother that left her boy when he wasone, and stayed with other people who raise him, something to do with the parents and child were moving from arkansas to a southwestern state, and the mother was very ill,due to problems with her pregnancyi'm and it seems that the boy was left behind with friends, or family, someone they trusted,anyhow, this was in the middle of the journey travelling by horseand wagon , so the boy stayed while they went on to seek help, then come back for the boy. This took some time I was told, and when they returned, the family carin for him had moved on with the boy,and no info where they could be found, which is where the part about taking on a different name come in. My g'aunt ediths' daughter told me this last year when visiting,also found a phonebill with calls to Glendale, CA.no year on it but the pre-fix wre letters,and I know Glendale applies to some of your famillies also. so with all of my long lost family,(& I know you are mine,Like you said,tiwater is so uncommon that i'mnot the only one who has always not known most anything about the Tiwater name, Im sure that you all belong to me!!!!write back all of you, please!! I will also write to the message board soon with my immediate family tree for all you guys. my email address is: tiwat26@aol.com
