My uncle Blake (84803076 Blake Mitchell WALKER) was my inspiration to start this journey of where I come from. From his documents, I found that we had several Civil War veterans, family fought in the Revolutionary War and even traced back to the Siege of Londonderry. I recall him telling me as a little girl about being a member of the Betsey Ross Sewing Club. This intrigued me enough to start my own adventure into our family history. I started on my mother's side who is also a WALKER. To my mother's surprise (or confusion), her parents were NOT from Wales & Yorkshire as she had always told me as a child…they were from Michigan! I'll never forget her telling me "Well who the hell am I?" While I have several brick walls, I am enjoying the challenge to find missing links. It's always some amazing story that keeps you going. My hope is that one day my daughter will carry on our family story for future generations...Kind regards, Harriet
