I was thinking about my cousin, Emeline Smith (Walker) Fatherley (1923-2009)<\/a>, who died nine years ago this January \u2013 and realized that I didn\u2019t have her genealogical details, or that of her husband, Robert Edward Fatherley (1905-1995)<\/a>, in our family tree.<\/p>\n

So, I turned to GenealogyBank to gather the details of their lives.<\/p>\n

By searching on their names, I quickly found articles about the family in the Historical Newspaper Archives<\/a> \u2013 as well as one from the Recent Obituaries<\/a> collection. In all I found over a dozen articles about the family and I added them to the family tree here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are accounts of their wedding \u2013 before and after the event.<\/p>\n

I found the tragic news article about the death of their young son, William Walker Fatherley, and the birth of another son in 1940.<\/p>\n

And I easily pulled up my cousin\u2019s obituary, giving me more information about her, her parents, siblings and family.<\/p>\n
