Many errors in this biography: Pauline Marie Frederic was NOT Cajun - she was born on board a ship that later arrived at the Port of Galveston, although some of her family lived in Louisiana. Juanita Parker's father's name was VOsso W. Parker, and the mother was Minnie McWilliams ONLY. MM Raley Sr and Juanita Parker had 3 children - first was Betty Jean who died as an infant, before Marjorie was born. M M Jr. was the last child and only son. Juanita and M M Sr are buried at Forest Park Lawndale Cemetery in Houston, TX. Marjorie's memory was faulty on several family matters.
ReplyDeleteLol. Thanks for the info. I haven't been able to find any info online about them besides what I remember hearing from my grandmother when I was a kid (she passed away from dementia, so thank you for your sensitivity and kindness lol). Are you related to the Parkers? Do you know where I can find more information about them? I can't afford an Ancestry account. Thanks!
DeleteAncestry is USELESS. People who use it believe in stolen, copy/paste plagiarism and not giving credit to the REAL researchers. This activity of genealogy is a SERIOUS endeavor, an event unknown to the "LOL"-using generation. Intelligence and scholarship is required to work on family history. Most of the information on this site is wrong, and it is evident it came from family lore that was originally mis-reported and continued to be mis-reported, so by keeping these unproven concepts alive does no service to this family. I was a member of this family for over 15 years, but eventually was rescued from it, and have since then given the documented research away. When I was a member of the family, we travelled to the hometown of the McWilliams family in west Texas and went to Louisiana another time to the German coast where the Frederic family began their lives in America. If you take some classes in genealogy perhaps you will learn the correct way to determine family information -- not all of which comes from online sources; OR, you could pay me $50.00 per hour for a consultation fee payable in cash in advance for accurate information. A definite wrong is made by keeping so much of this information here, for people have the ridiculous notion that if something is found online it must be correct, when actually almost everything that is found online was prepared by an overly-emotional person who was too lazy to find the correct information in local resources. Other professional genealogists (like myself) who I know believe in the theories I have stated here, and no one who is any good at finding information about their family uses Ancestry, so do yourself a favor and forget that notion. We don't need to be overly sensitive in this work: we need to DO IT CORRECTLY!. Several of the people in the index list to the right are now dead, and you don't even have it updated, so that is another error. I do not troll this site regularly, since I have no forward-moving interest in this research, but I do care about genealogy being provided to the world in a correct manner. One should not even do the work at all if they are not going to do it correctly. It is NOT a subject for emotionalism.
