I had traveled from California to Kansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Virginia, New York, Canada back to Illinois and stopped in Branson to see my step son. All this time looking up family and being very suscessful, over 750 documents. I spent a few days with him. I could have headed directly back to California, but I told myself why not go to Little Rock, Arkansas, I had never been there. The drive was easy and I got to Little Rock about noon. I looked around one of the Cemeteries, and then thought why not check out the State Archives there may be something there interesting. Not actually family, but why not? I checked a lot of names, nothing. They were going to close before long. Well that's how it goes some days. One last name, IVEY, They went to Texas from Kansas. Not much chance that I would find anything. There they were - 19 pages single spaced typed pages of the right IVEY. The lady stayed over so I could copy the information, now that's Southern hospitality.
Why did I go to Little Rock? and not stop in Austin, Texas,
where the records should be? You tell me!
