Mom & Sherry Johnston - Evergreen Public Library Genealogy Room

This is Sherry Johnston - one of our new GREAT friends. She is in charge of the Evergreen (AL) Public Library Genealogy Room and is AMAZING. We get to spend every Monday with her. We go to help her - but she spends most of her time teaching us. She has a photographic memory so she can go on and on and on with incredible stories about the area. Evergreen, AL in Conecuh County so she is the "goto" source for information about the history of people and places. Uwanaknow how the city of Burnt Corn got it's name (I did) - just ask her. If you want to know about Mormons in Conecuh County - she will go to the shelf and pull out a book with the information and history. Yep - she IS Amazing!!!

Last week when we got there - she had brought us these beautiful gardenias. Yes, they are real and are are grown outside and aren't frozen and yes, it's December.

We have found out from many sources that Sherry is VERY well respected for her work and knowledge. After the first of the year, she is going to start inviting various groups to the library to meet us and so the three of us will be there to help those coming, take the next step with their Family History. It also sounds like sometime during the year, she wants to have a "meet and greet" with her connections to all the historical societies in southern Alabama and northern Florida (17 counties). What a blessing she is in our lives!  We love you Sherry.
