My name is Betty Fell Marlar and I live in Iuka, MS. I have been researching my 
family and my husband's family for about 14 years.  I only regret that I did not 
start sooner before my parents and other relatives passed away.  I love finding new 
information and sharing with others.  My husband always tells me that I will find out 
something I don't want to know but I don't think I ever will.  I want to know about 
the skeltons in the closet but I also want to know the good, such as the fact that 
country music singer Sonny James (real name James Loden) is a distant cousin. His 
great grandmother is the older sister of my great grandfather. I would never have 
known this if I had not done my research! 

I also volunteer at our local genealogy library and am past president and current 
vice-president of our local society.  I also like taking pictures and adding them and 
other information to findagrave.com. Please feel free to contact me if you need more 
information or have more information or corrections on my tree.  Some of my surnames 
are Marlar, Fell, Frederick, Owens, Davis, Kidd, Ailer/Aylor, Lambert, Pickens, just 
to name a few. Enjoy browsing and please sign my guest book and let me know what you 
think.

NOTE: Thanks for the kind words from all family members who have contacted me about 
this website. I want this to be "our" site so please if you have additional 
information or pics or if something is incorrect please let me know.

Thanks to all the family members who have helped me with information for this site, 
especially Tommie Marlar of marlarweb.com, Bettye Knight, Chris Gentle, John 
Ragsdale, Tammy Davis, Tony Copeland, Norman Crook, Mike Frederick, Sue Richardson, 
and many others! I apologize if I didn't mention your name, but I am so thankful for 
all the family and friends who have been so supportive. Please check back often as 
this site is truly a "work in progress".

I hope you will check out my new blog that I have started. It is called "Journal in a 
Blog" and will be filled with my memories of growing up in a small town during the 
1940's, 50's, and 60's. I hope you will enjoy reading the memories, and seeing 
pictures and videos of a simpler life. Maybe it will inspire you to start one of your 
own for your children and grandchildren!  Go to http://journalinablog.blogspot.com or 
click on My blog on the right hand side of this page. Let me know what you think 
about it. Thanks!!!!
