A website
devoted to the Howard Clarke & Fannie Jones Glover descendents.
If you are too young to remember the family pictures then you owe it
to yourself to browse them. The family has grown so much that it is
difficult to keep up with everyone. Let's not lose touch with our roots!
Website
Update:
I have updated
the section on our Demopolis Alabama roots as well as a few old
pictures the hallway and music room of the 45 College Street
homestead, but am behind on updating the family tree page. I have set
up a WebLog (blog) so that
we can have a forum to communicate family events and happending more
easily. Please try it out and pass the word on to other family
members so we can get some momentum on it. It does require
registration, but you can change your password once you have registered.
Glover DNA Project
Caroline sent
me this link. Other Glover genealogists are putting together a
program that is DNA based to trace the ancestry roots of each Glover
clan. It seems like an intriguing prospect to add to the hard work
begun and maintained by Caroline and Aunt Winnie. Check it out. http://dgmweb.net/genealogy/DNA/G/GloverDNA.shtml Mother
(Mrs. Nat Glover) found the original Newspaper writeup about Howard
and Fannie's wedding - Click

HELP WANTED!
Anyone out
there want to help with the website? Most of you are younger than I
am (61) and probably know more about websites than I will ever know.
I would appreciate some (any) help I can get as I am about to attempt
to scan to entirety of the Glover history that Aunt Winnie, Aunt Mary
and Caroline had printed so that the younger generations have access
to this wonderfully detailed and illustrated book. Family Cookbook
(Mary) Caroline
(Boone) Alford has spent
the last 15 years compiling her favorite family recipes - some 418
pages of mouthwatering delights! Barnes and Noble Bookstores may put
it in their southern stores as a regional interest book.
The title is
Southern Cooking with Caroline. It has a lot of helpful information
for beginning cooks, and all the steps are numbered for easy use.
Knowing Caroline's family I can personally guarantee that this book
is the only one you will need.
Do you have any old pictures you would like to
have scanned and perhaps published on this site for others to share
and enjoy? We will scan them for you. Just let us know.
Demopolis
Alabama Roots - Update
Gandy and
Taylor (Clifford Banks Glover and Sanford Taylor Glover) recorded a fact-finding
excursion to Demopolis. This is a funny video packed with
facts that would have been lost - their investigative skills far
exceed their videography skills. Click
Here to view the 35 minute video.
Also, TJ
Glover (Tom Junior's son) just recently made a similar trip. He found
and recorded some great pics of ancestrial graves. And for those of
you who remember his granddaddy Tom, you will appreciate his sense of
humor as he recounts the process. Click
Here.
Aural History
Cousin Cliff
Glover recorded this prior to his death. It's a great story of his
growing up on Newnan. Those of us who knew him will appreciate his
deep melodic voice as well as the occasional laughter. We are
fortunate to have this bit of recorded history.

Obituaries
Since starting
this website, we have lost Aunt Margaret (Litt), Aunt Louise, Tom
Junior and Cousin Cliff - I'm setting up an obituary section so that
you can view the histories of our great ancestors. If you have older
obituaries, please scan and email to me, or send the original to me
and I will scan and return to you.
Family Portraits and Ancient Ancestors
In addition to
the family portraits, we have some ANCIENT ANCESTORS here...
need some help
identifying them.

Trimble (Boone) Family
Aunt Winnie found this
picture of a school in Hogansville taught by Frank Trimble and his
wife Fannie. Grannie (Fannie Jones Glover) referred to them as
Cousins. The picture was taken about 1890. On the reverse side was a
listing of the names (click here
