A Biography for Mandi Williams

One of the oversights that we have been meaning to fix since the launch of this website, was the lack of a biographical sketch for Mandi Williams, our family matriarch and our ultimate common ancestor. We have now corrected this oversight. See the new biography for Mandi Williams.

Updating the Family of Cullen Caldwell

This month at Descendants of Mandi, we have done extensive updates to the family records of the descendants of Cullen Caldwell, son of Albertine Williams, who is the daughter of Dennis Williams and Ella Woodson. We have added spouse information for all three of Cullen's daughters (Marilyn, Sharon and Vera Caldwell) and adusted offspring names to reflect the correct surnames. Thank you very much to the Caldwell Family for taking the timeto fill out the genealogy worksheet...as cousins fill in the gaps and return the information, the family tree continues to grow in accuracy. Check out the new family info page for the Cullen Caldwell Family.

Tributes to family members

As we continue the process of gathering information on the Williams-Rivers Family, and filling out the branches of our family tree, we'd like to ask everyone to think of a family member for whom you can write a tribute or provide a three or four paragraph historical biography. It can be detailed or based memories and recollections. It can be someone living or someone who has passed on...but contributions like these will help our family site come to life--and stress our family's many contributuons.

Searching and Finding

With our new search engines, it's easier than ever to find yourself or your branch of the family in the Descendants of Mandi Website. If you are trying to remember that cousin you met at the last reunion, try putting in whatever information you know about them and watch the results-- you'll be surprised.
