George Washington Shafer is my Great Great Grandfather. I was wondering what other info and maybe pictures you might have. Pearl Cochran, his daughter, is my Great Grandmother, her daughter, Lois Booth, is my Grandmother and Linda is her daughter, my mother. Any information would be greatly appreciated. I simply loved your info I just found on "all the nuts in the tree" and had never seen a picture of my great great grandparents or knew my Great Aunt Inez's First name, simply wonderful! Please e-mail me: dpickett6824@yahoo.com - Thank you!
