Hello to any family members or friends who may be able to assist me with my research. I recently lost my great- grandmother (Mary Langston) on july 21st and i realized just how little I knew about my family backround. I see that more than a few of us have choosen over the the past ten years to shake the family tree and see what falls off. My great-grandmother hails from Smithfield, NC and was the daughter of Ruffin Artis and Phoebe(Everitt)Artis and sister to Roger, David,Minnie,Lily,John and James all whom she preceded in death at 101 years old. If there is anyone who has done some legwork and can give me some history regarding my great-great grandparents I would greatly appreciate it. Jerome
