NW Okie's Journey

Well! We headed back to Northwest Oklahoma Wednesday morning. And would you believe, our SW Colorado monsoons must have been dragged behind us. Thursday morning, 5:30am there was thunder and a little bit of rain for a while and the temps were in the mid-90s. Suppose to continue tomorrow, Friday, too.

Calling All HURT Family Descendants
A few months ago I submitted my DNA to Ancestry.com, to check out my emigrants and their European makeup. I have found a connection of very high confidence to a possible HURT family 4th cousins. I need all my HURT family connections to check their genealogy records to check if there was a HURT connection that may have given up a baby boy born 7 September 1954 for adoption, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Stan Shockley was that baby boy who was adopted. Stan is searching for his Birth family. Stan wrote me a few weeks back saying he recently joined Ancestry and took the DNA test to help him learn about his birth family history. Stan Shockley mentioned that we are connected through my Maternal ancestor, Johann Hurt.

Stan was adopted at birth (7 September 1954, OKC, OK) and has no previous knowledge of his birth parents. Stan grew up on a cotton farm near Lubbock, TX. he graduated from Texas Tech in 1977. He operated a cotton farm from 1977 to 1986. He decided to leave farming after a major hailstorm in October, 1985. He married Connie Newsom Smith on June 13, 1980. They have 3 children and 6 grandchildren. We moved to the Houston area in 1990.

Stan inquired if any of Johann's children married a Native American? If you are a Ancestry.com member, click Stan Shockley's Ancestry profile and see if you can help him find his HURT birth family.
