Permilia, Hosea, Bentley, Lula

I've done practically nothing in the last three days other than dig through census records online and try to track various members of my family around the country. It's been quite fun. I don't know how much more I'll be able to do than what I've done now until I get some information from relatives or get to a library or something to get my hands on some different information different from what I've got now though.

One of the most interesting parts to me is the names. Have you ever heard of anyone named Permilia? One of ancestors was, and I'll tell you it was a pretty common name in the 1880s. Lula, Lilia, Lura, Luria... I've seen them all in the past few days, but never before now. Hosea, and his daughter Hosalee. A Dallie. A Murtice. An Elnora.

The weirdest of all... seems my grandmother's maiden name came from an ancestor's middle name. His original surname? Sheehee. I'll leave that one without comment.
