SETTING UP NEW PAGE To Honor Our Elders

Mary Axum Cherry Murdough & her daughters (Edenton)

Hi Folks,

I plan to set up a new page on www.rootsofedenton.org with the profiles of your family patriarchs and matriarchs-living or who have moved on. This is one way for us to capture the legacy of the people who are and were the fabric of Edenton, NC.

Please send me information about your loved one so I could post it on the site. The length of the profile is up to you.  Photos or obituaries are welcome too.

If you prefer to send a summary outlining your family history instead, I welcome that as well.  You can also include photos of the family or house. 

Some things to consider in your profile or summary:

• Date or year of birth/death
• Names of their parents or grandparents
• Number of siblings and their position (Youngest, middle)
• Occupation/Military service
• Education (Name of elementary, HS and/or college)
• Talents, hobby or skills
• A key word of wisdom they always taught
• Church membership and/or role (Bishop, deacon, YPWW)
• Favorite song or scriptures
• A fond memory of something they did that warms your heart

Please alert others in your family group.

Thanks,
(Root of Edenton Legacy)
