First day

Just set up the blog to try and document my search for the Lynch side of the family. My grandfather and grandmother really didn't talk much about their respective families. I just learned to listen when I was around them and seemed to retain some of the information.

My grandfather, William Carroll Lynch was born in Norman, Oklahoma on January 13, 1905. He was the oldest of 7 that I am aware of. Myrtle Elizabeth was born Aptil 1, 1908; Thomas was born in 1917, Hector Rosecoe born August 20, 1919; John Alvin and Melvin (twins) born May 17, 1922. Melvin died after just 6 weeks. Leonar Euell born June 28, 1924 was the youngest of them. All of them have passed on so am unable to obtain info from them.

William met and married my grandmother, Gladys Jewel Pool. She was born January 22, 1904 in Texas and they were married on January 9, 1927 in Oklahoma. My father Richard Euell was born November 27, 1927 in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma. His brother Wallace Caroll was born January 5, 1932.
