Oklahoma Road Trip, Part 8



Over five nights and six days, my family drove 1000+ miles through Texas and Oklahoma. It was hot. It was dry. It was brown. But it was also a chance to visit the places my ancestors once lived and walk where they once walked.

It was nice to take a break from the online genealogy world. Now I am back, but with a slightly different perspective. I will continue on the same path, but this trip reminded me of why I started this journey in the first place.

Thanks to everyone who read all eight installments of this road trip series. I hope you enjoyed it. Should you ever find yourself in the general area around north Texas or south central Oklahoma, be sure get some fried pie.

  2. Thank you for stopping by! I was so excited when I saw the special genealogy section at TravelOK.com. Genealogists traveling to other states need all the help they can get. You guys are really filling that need in Oklahoma and I'm proud my ancestors came from there.
