You haven’t hijacked the post at all my friend! love hearing from you always.
Just had a quick look at ancestry for the Hinkles, and low and behold someone has a tree started and found a couple of pics you might be intereted in, if this is indeed the right family which I am fairly sure it is, but you can verify it first. Were your grandparents Stirling and Irene Dedmon? found a newspaper article about their 60th wedding anniversary and also found an announcement of your mom and dad’s marriage along with a pic! pretty cool really! You may have them already but in case you want them let me know and I’ll send’em on to you!

Oh, I know Grandmother D.’s family was from Germany and I think they came over around the turn of the last century or a bit before. We went to a family reunion and I found out more about my Grandfather’s side of the family. Like I said, they were English and came from Debenham. (too bad I am not in line for any of the dept. store money!) That’s where the derivation of my name came from and in fact, the three sons of the original settler all spelled the name differently. I sure was shocked to find out some of my ancestors owned slaves when they lived in N.C.

Didn’t mean to hijack the post, sorry. Sure was interesting to find out about your heritage, Chester.

I am so glad you appreciated your Birthday present , well I think I am , seems like you have been stuck in front of that pc since last week ;) but really I am glad you have managed to find out so much information of you ancestors in such a short time , amazing seeing even some photographs of them ,finding out that the place some of them lived near was named HAHN really bowled me over , and I had to smile when I saw that your 7th greatgrandfather was named John Michael the same as my own son , had you adopted Johnnie he would have had the same name ! although my John swore down he wouldn’t have accepted just because of the whole name sounding hillarious John Michael Weikel does sound rather humorous ; )
When we update the subscription to worldwide searches it will be interesting to see what part of Germany my own ancestors came from , wow , we could be relatives , well thats ok , common here in NC anyhow ( wink )
and Mike I didnt realise you had English roots , and german , well one day we will search where your uncle Berlin Hinkle came from .

That’s cool! It does seem like destiny! Regardless, you two were meant to be together.

I’m also descended from Germans on my paternal grandmother’s side. Not sure when they came over, but I used to have a great-uncle named Berlin Hinkle – that always sounded German to me.

My dad’s family roots trace back to England and like yours, immigrated here well before the US was a country. I used to think my surname was odd, but when I met elle I found out her daughter’s best friend also shared my last name and that it wasn’t all that unusual there. My ancestors lived for a long time in N.C. before moving to Oklahoma and Texas.

I’m still LMAO. I tried to share it on Facebook, but the photo wouldn’t publish. I started to use the Google Reader feature and publish it to my own blog, but decided I should first ask.

We all had a really good laugh at this the other day at the store,so funny. Wish I had taken another pic or two, it was an afterthought that I could have made a little animation with it and set it to Hank Williams Jr. singing “All My Rowdy Friends are Coming over tonight”! LOL Also wish i had taken a pic after I moved another figurine in, a Marilyn Monroe looking one, but that may have been a little close to bad taste ;) still funny though

Plus, Jesus signaling “TOUCHDOWN!!!”

I’d like to have the Nubian girl and the huge rooster. There’s a joke there, but I will stay silent.
