Hello, I'm Sarah McUmber-House. Welcome to my genealogy page.
I am glad you stopped in. Pull up a chair, a cushion or a piece of rug, grab a cup of coffee or whatever your favorite is, and let's get acquainted. Certainly, as with any search of ancient pasts, some of the information related here may turn out to be inaccurate or not verifyably related to my direct line of ancestry. I will make every effort to update and clarify as I come into more knowledge, and invite you to contribute anything you have that seems pertinent.
Be prepared for Dolly the micro-cat to get up on your shoulder. (Let me know if you're allergic):
(Special thanks go to my wonderful GrandMother-in-Law, Vera S. Harris, who got me started again, and my Dear Aunt Peg (Margaret Arnold Marlowe), who originally planted the seed of curiosity)

They lived briefly in Springfield, IL, my grandfather's hometown, and soon moved to Pine Bluff, AR. He then moved to NM to join his brother-in-law, Alfred Davis (husband of Jenny Drew Arnold), in the cattle business.
