I enter this blog with my sister in mind..she is so excited that she is researching our family tree. She has gotten our entire family involved.  Do you know all of your family members "real" name? Well, for years the "real" names in our family have been mystery.. i.e. Chuckie aka Henry, Buddy aka Wilson, Leroy aka Arthur, Lady aka Gwen.  As you think of your family and its origin...Can you remember everyones "real" name. For years my family called me "Tessie" simply because my Grandmother couldn't pronounce my name Teras (Terez).  She also calls my sister and two of my cousins Shirley....the funny part is that..only one of them is actually Shirley.. There names are Cheryl & Sharon.
