Meda Alberta Yarbro more info need help please !

kathyyarbro — 2009-07-27 22:56:42Z

Thank you soooo much! My mom said after I sent the email to you that she thinks one of Meda A's younger half-brothers was her Great-uncle Riggs. Not sure yet if that is even a shortened version of a name or not.

What state are you from?

This is somemore of the info I got from Kim. I'm trying to help her find her Yarbro family. Please help us thank you Daisy or Kathy Yarbro

Meda Alberta Yarbro early 1880's

kathyyarbro — 2009-07-26 23:07:35Z

Hey Kathy,

Thank you for responding. Okay, I called my mom and this is what I got:

Meda Alberta Yarbro was born in Breckenridge, TX in the early 1880s. She was the oldest of twelve. Her brother, Earl (he named his daughter Meda Earl Yarbro, and she lived out her years in El Paso) was the second oldest. The ten others were half-siblings, they had a different mother but same Yarbro father. We think Meda Alberta's mother's maiden name was Hubbard.

Meda Alberta married Frank Lee Williams and they had two sons. My grandfather, Andrew King Williams was the oldest, born in Van Horn, TX on January 16, 1904. Grandpa married Frances Louise Perry and they had my mother, Patricia Anne Williams in Douglas, AZ in Oct. 22, 1939 and my aunt, Meda Pauline (from our Curry side) Williams in Wasco, CA on January 5, 1947.

Frank E Williams was the second son. He married Alberta (coincidence?) Decker from AZ. I don't know much about them except he died Oct 1960 and was buried next to his dad, Frank Lee.

Both Frank Lee and Meda Alberta moved to CA when my grandparents did. Frank Lee died Dec 1959 and was buried in Ontario, CA. Meda A lived with Alberta, her daughter-in-law long enough for Alberta to throw away papers and mementos that may have had any family history before Meda A came to live with my grandparents. Meda A went into a decline after losing her husband and son within a year of each other. Meda A lived with my Grandma and Grandpa Williams here in Santa Maria died sometime in the summer of 1968(?) but was also buried in Ontario.

The family rumor is that two brothers, both Dukes (I think there can only be one duke) came over to America, had a "falling out" and one changed the spelling of his name.

Thanks again for any help you can come up with.

Kim

Ancestry Com records search do not have birth records online. Since you know the county of birth, you may be able to contact the county clerk and get more information. If you know your Yarbro grandparents names, provide them and perhaps someone may be able to assist.

Yarbro & Variant spelligns DNA Project

JamesYarbrough51 — 2006-07-23 18:18:14Z

www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/y/yarbrough/

Description:

The Yarbrough DNA Project is open to all who are interested in working together to find their common heritage through sharing of information and dna testing. All variant spellings are welcome. If your Surname is missing, we'll be glad to add it.

Surnames in Project:

Yarborough, Yarbrew, Yarbrough

Requirements:

A Surname Project traces members of a family that share a common surname. Since surnames are passed down from father to son like the Y-chromosome, this test is for males taking a Y-DNA test. Females do not carry their father’s Y-DNA and acquire a new surname by way of marriage, so the tested individual must be a male that wants to check his direct paternal line (father’s father’s father’s…) with a Y-DNA12, Y-DNA37, or Y-DNA67 marker test. Females who would like to check their direct paternal line can have a male relative with this surname order a Y-DNA test. Females can also order an mtDNA test for themselves such as the mtDNA or the mtDNAPlus test and participate in an mtDNA project.

Questions?
Not sure if this is a situation that applies to you? Want to obtain additional information? Contact the Yarbrough Group Administrator.

To join the Yarbrough surname project, please fill out the order form below. Your DNA test kit will be mailed tomorrow.

http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=C80674&am...

Yarbrough Project 6-Page website:

http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/y/yarbrough/

The test is a simple cheek swab. The kit will arrive and leave your house by mail. You simply rub the inside of your cheek a number of times with a special scraper, put the kit back into the envelope, and put it in the mail.
If you wish to participate, you may place an order for a DNA test and submit your pedigree..

Re: Yarbro

2006-06-05 16:11:02Z

Evelyn,

Not sure if this will help but someone in the family might have answers to your questions. Here is a copy of an obit from St. Francis County, Arkansas.

"Peggy Yarbro O'Mally. Mrs. Peggy Yarbro O'Malley, age 69, died Sunday, Aug. 5, 2001, at Crestpark Retirement Inn in Forrest City. Mrs. O'Malley, born Nov. 25, 1931, in Blytheville, was the daughter of Shirley Yarbro and Hollice Maxwell Yarbro. Mrs. O'Malley made her home in the Blytheville and Forrest City areas for all of her life. She was a cook and a Baptist. Mrs. O'Malley is survived by a daughter, Vicki Hardy of Wagram, N.C.; a son, Tommy O'Malley of Blytheville, a sister, Patsy Farmer of Pineville; a brother, Raymond Sanders of Cape Girardeau, Mo. and two grandchildren. Funeral services will be private under the direction of Stevens Funeral Home."

Maybe one of the persons mentioned in the obituary has information about your birth mother or can direct you to someone who might.

Good luck and best wishes,
Kathi

Levi Wm James Yarbrough brothers? TN-AR

Loeta10 — 2001-06-29 05:08:33Z

It has been believed for a long time that Levi Wm and James were brothers and most likely they were, however, I haven't personally found any 'proof' of this, only that lived near each other in White County, AR in 1870. Same story with Aquilla being James' and Levi's father. I still believe he is but no PROOF yet!

I'm assuming that you are a descendant of Levi William. Have you contacted others who are researching him?

Hi
I have a cousin by the name of Larry Yarbro, his father is E.C. yarbro. larry lives in Marion, Arkansas and is a member of the EMT's out of Memphis. He is currently working at the World Trade Center and will be there for quite sometime helping. He is a fireman. Don't know if this is the one you need to find.

Re: Yarbro Family

evelyns101 — 2005-03-09 08:06:16Z

Saw your message. I am a yarbro also. I have researched the yarbro family history quite extensively and have a little of the following that may help you. Also I have a printed hardcopy of the entire file if you need it.

I have two great uncles that came from England. Their names were Plez and Jess. They came through Dyersburg Tennessee and one went northern route and one southern. Plaz went to yarbro Arkansas and founded that little town one mile out of Blytheville and then continued to Missouri.

His brother Jess went south to Jackson, Tennessee and became quite prominent in that are. All of Jess's relatives are in that area and further south than that. All of Plez's relatives are either still in Blytheville, Arkansas or in the Missouri region. Search under Plez yarbro and email me if you want the hardcopy. I'll send it US mail to you.
If you are the one from Plez's family you are related to me.
My father was Plez's nephew. My father was Shirly martin (Jiggs) Yarbro and his brother was Charles Richard yarbro. There are a lot of us still alive. Keep me informed and happy hunting. I've been searching for my mother for 37 years and haven't found her so keep going. You have the internet on your side. I had carbon paper and a typewriter to begin with.

Evie (cuz?)
