Linda's Genealogy Page




My genealogy research has been concentrated on the LOCKETT FAMILY, my mother's maternal grandfather. It all began a number of years ago when a cousin sent me the results of her research. She had traced the Locketts back to 1645 Virginia.

The second phase began when my sisters & I decided to on a genealogical trip back east. There were several holes that needed to be plugged, so I started my research in earnest to compile as much data as possible before our trip. In October, 1996, my sisters & I went on our trip. The Locketts had lived along the Appomattox River, just west of Richmond. We visited lots of courthouses, areas where their farms had been, and even a few houses once occupied by Locketts.

I entered the current phase of my growing interest in genealogy shortly after returning from our trip. We got on line! I started to meet other Lockett researchers and it quickly became apparent that a site was needed to link all of us together. Thus,"The Lockett Patchwork" website! My genealogical research has taken on a whole new life! Not only am I collecting an extraordinary amount of data, but I am also meeting lots of wonderful people. We have grown to a current 20 COUSINS, with more to come, I am sure. In 1998 we are planning to start a Photo Gallery and there is no telling what's next. You will really enjoy viewing the site, whether or not you are a Lockett!
