| History of Updates |
| Since our first Wannall.com "announcement" page appeared in May of 1999 we have continued to make exciting additions to the web site. The chart below chronicles our progress. Whenever we add new pages or update information on existing pages, we record our changes here, so we suggest you monitor this page on a regular basis to keep abreast of our latest findings. |

| October 3, 2009 | Another new Wannall arrived this summer. He is Robbie Elijah Rose (new index 2009-01), son of Robbie Lee Rose and Melissa LouAnn Wannall Rose (index 1987-01). We made the appropriate adjustments to our Family Tree. |
| June 7, 2009 | is week we are happy to report the upcoming wedding of John Richard Wannall II (index 1981-01) and Jennifer Ludwig (soon to be) Wannall (index 1981-02), who becomes the 210th person profiled on these pages. They are expecting their first child shortly, so stay tuned! We added Jennifer to our Index of Names and Family Tree. |
| May 25, 2009 | Our internet research has provided a few small bits of "hole filler" information and three new names. We found what appears to be an previously unknown child of Thomas Asariah Wannall (index 1848-01) and Addie C. Wannall (index 1849-02), one Howard F. Wannall (new index 1878-02). We added Howard to our family tree. The other two new entries could not be linked. They are Merle Wannall (new index 1907-04) and Burnadett Wannall (new index 1914-02.) For anyone interested, the "hole fillers" included information added or updated to the profile pages of Charles Pasco Wannall (index 1847-01), Harriet Isabell Hudson Wannall (index 1850-01), Mary Matilda Wannall Smoot (index 1852-01), Hannah Jeanette Wannall Stones (index 1878-01), Bernard Layton Wannall (index 1900-01), Alice Virginia Smith Wannall Stedman (index 1907-02), Dorothy Garrison Wannall (index 1915-01), William Milton Wannall (index 1915-02), Bernard William Wannall (index 1936-02), and Robert Joseph Wannall (index 1954-01). |
| April 27, 2009 | Roger Siedel has sent us information about Mary A. Wannall (new index 1805-01), previously unknown second daughter of Thomas Wannall (index 1783-01) in the form of pictures of her tombstone. Roger found four pictures of Mary's brother Thomas M. Wannall (index 1813-01) and his wife Henrietta Hicklebottom Wannall (index 1813-02). He also sent copies of the obituary of his grandmother Lizzy Maury Wannall Goodrich (index 1855-01) that documented new and interesting family lore and a photo of the headstone of Lizzy's son, Charles E. Goodrich (index 1855-01a). |
| April 14, 2009 | We have some rather important breakthroughs in our genealogy information. Thanks to Roger Siedel, great-great grandson of Charles Pascal Wannall, we have made significant updates to the Charles P. Wannall page (old index 1814-01 changed to new index 1808-01), the page of his first wife Mary MIles Wannall (index 1814-02), his sister Margaret A. Wannall (old index 1773-01a changed to new index 1815-01), and we have added new profiles for Charles' second wife Mary Hollingshead Wannall (index 1814-03), their only child, daughter Lizzy Maury Wannall Goodrich (index 1855-01), and only grandchild Charles Edward Goodrich (index 1855-01a.) Later generations are documented on Charles Edward Goodrich's profile page. Roger also provided us with some rare family photos, significantly a portrait of Charles Pascal Wannall, our oldest picture to date. As usual we updated our index of names and family tree. |
| January 14, 2009 | It has been only one week, but we received several more updates from William Howard Wannall III (index 1967-02) and have updated his page, the page of his wife Laura Christine Wannall (index 1967-03), and their children Sean Robert (index 1993-01), Stephen Timothy (index 1997-01), and Kayla Allison (index 1997-02). BIll also provided additional information on his father William Howard Wannall Jr. (index 1928-01), mother Margaret F. Wannall (index 1928-02), grandfather William Howard Wannall (index 1903-01) and grandmother Edith Tayman Wannall (new index 1903-02). |
| January 6, 2009 | Our biggest news today: thanks to William Howard Wannall III (index 1967-01) we have finally connected William's branch with our family tree. The link is through Thomas Asariah Wannall (obsolete index 1840-01, new index 1848-01). This is a major genealogical breakthrough, and we thank Bill for his efforts. In addition, we have added a pair of new cousins to our pages. Kimberly Allison Wannall Kovach (index 1975-01) and her husband Mark recently celebrated the arrival of their first daughter, Anna Kathryn Kovach (new index 2007-02) and Kimberly's sister Hillary Brooke Wannall West (index 1978-01) and her husband Bryan welcomed their second daughter, Allison Hope West (new index 2008-01). Thanks to another loyal contributor, we also straightened out an error in the family of Robert Joseph Wannall (index 1954-01). We updated his profile page and that of his wife (formally listed as daughter) Debra Waters Wannall (new index 1954-02) and their daughter Carissa (index 1954-01b). Another interesting anecdote was added to the page of James Raymond Wannall Jr. (index 1932-01.)We paid a revisit to the Internet, and the Smoot family web page gave us additional information on Mary Matilda Wannall Smoot (index 1852-01) We updated her page, and completed the pages for her four children. Also on the internet we found an entry for Evgenia Wannall. We think she may be Dee-Dee Wannall (index 1920-02), wife of Milton Wannall (index 1920-01.) Other minor updates from the Internet were made for Charles P. Wannall (index 1814-01), Henrietta Hickenbottom Wannall (index 1813-02), and Charles Wannall (index 1840-01.) Finally, and sadly, we also must report the passing of Dorothy Garrison Wannall (index 1915-01) in October of 2005. |
| April 17, 2008 | Melissa Lou Ann Wannall Rose (index 1987-01) is at it again. She became a mom for the second time in December with the arrival of Annabelle Lynne Rose (new index 2007-01). Melissa also sent us new pictures of her family, and updates and pictures for her brother, William Keith Wannall Jr. (index 1984-03) who was married earlier this year to new wannall.com member Ballentina Marie Blackburn Wannall (index 1984-04). New pictures include profile pictures for Annabelle as well as Keith, Ballentina, and their children Jasmine Marie Wannall (index 2001-02) and Justin William Keith Wannall III (index 2004-03). We added and linked a page to show Keith's family picture. |
| July 29, 2007 | Another very old photograph has managed to find its way to us. It is a picture of Rebecca Reeves Wannall (Index 1889-01) as a child. You can view an editied version on Rebecca's gallery page and, if you like, click on the edited version to view the original. |
| April 22, 2007 | We have another birth to report, although as usual somewhat belated. Valeri Jill Wannall (Index 1975-02) brought into our family her second son Blake Paxton (index 2005-03) in June of 2005. We have added a page for Blake, a link in his mother's page, and updated our Family Tree. |
| March 25, 2007 | Melissa Lou Ann Wannall Rose (Index 1987-01) sent us some family photos which we added as links to her profile page and that of her daughter Makinnley Raeann Rose (index 2005-02). We also fixed a broken link on Melissa's page. |
| February 18, 2007 | It has been about nineteen
months since our last significant update. This is for two reasons. First,
information does not arrive as quickly as it once did, although we have
been adding and subtracting family members the whole time. Second, your
humble host has been battling a rather nasty bout with cancer (we are just
fine now, thank you.) But we are back in business for the time being, so
let's get started.
Once again it is our sad duty to report the passing of another beloved family member. Bernard William Wannall (index 1936-02) passed away in Tulsa, OK on October 15, 2006. He had been residing in Tulsa with his wife Bonnie Kay Banks Wannall (index 1942-01). We extend our sympathies to his family. Bernard was fortunate to see his family expand before his death. His grandson, William Keith Wannall Jr. (index 1984-03) and his wife Ballentine had son, Justin William Keith Wannall III (index 2004-03) on July 15, 2004. Bernard's granddaughter, Melissa Lou Ann Wannall (index 1987-01) married Robbie Lee Rose on July 22, 2006, and had daughter Makinnley Raeann Rose (index 2005-02) on August 8, 2005. Also new to the Wannall clan is Eliana Grace Wannall (index 2005-01), new daughter of Douglas Keith Wannall (index 1970-01) and Nyree Dawn Kapalow-Cohen Wannall (index 1975-04). We made the appropriate additions to our Index of Names and the Family Tree. Finally we are in the process of trying to link another "unofficial" branch to our tree and pages: the family of Jean Louise Thompson Kamper, who was raised by Rebecca Reeves Wannall (index 1889-01) and Walter Raymond Wannall (index 1888-01). Details will follow, so stay tuned! |
| July 17, 2005 | We continue to fill in the blanks on our profile pages and family tree as more and more cooperative family members discover and contact us. This week we learned more about the family of Robert Lucien Wannall (index 1926-01) and his wife Helen Connolly Wannall Shipe (formally Helen Conaley Wannall, index 1926-02). We had the names of their sons wrong, and we had no information on their grandchildren. We fixed that with the addition of profile pages for sons Robert Joseph Wannall (index 1954-01), Richard Patrick Wannall (index 1956-01), Richard's wife Susan Adelaide Wannall (index 1956-02), Robert's children Debra Waters Wannall (index 1954-01a) and Carissa Wannall (index 1954-01b), and Richard & Susan's sons Richard Patrick Wannall Jr. (index 1991-03) and Joseph Eugene Wannall (index 1995-02). We added the new additions to our Names Index and Family Tree. |
| October 24, 2004 | Many amateur and professional genealogists use the Internet, and this week one of them, a great niece of a Wannall, happened upon our humble site. The result was a brand new gallery page and profile picture for Norma Marion Thomasson Wannall (index 1898-03). Once again, it is the contributions of our visitors that keep our pages alive, interesting and expanding. |
| October 16, 2004 | We added a profile picture for Jamie Terina Wannall Davis (index 1984-02) that we found on the internet. Jamie verified it was her high school picture. |
| June 6, 2004 | We are proud to announce another wedding in the family. We heard from Jamie Terina Wannall (index 1984-02), soon to be Jamie Terina Davis. We updated her page and those of her mother Cynthia Champagne Wannall (index 1961-01) and father John Richard Wannall (index 1962-01). We also made the appropriate adjustments on our Index of Names and on the Family Tree. Oh yes, and we added a beautiful portrait picture for beautiful new baby Wannall, Kaitlyn Reney (index 2004-01.) |
| May 29, 2004 | This week we were visited by a "surfing" Internet genealogist who filled in a few holes in the Smoot branch. We updated the profile pages of Mary Matilda Wannall Smoot (index 1852-01) and her daughter Emily Hunter Smoot May (index 1852-01a.) And we learned enough about her son Avery that we created a profile page for him (index 1852-01b.) All of this good stuff required an update to our Family Tree as well. |
| March 28, 2004 | Once again it is our sad duty to report the passing of another Wannall family icon. Frank Wannall Stones (index 1878-01a) died in his sleep this morning at the age of 99. Frank was one of the three original Wannall family genealogists and a major influence on this web site. It was Frank who provided us with the information, the pictures, and the family artifacts that helped us link the Washington, DC and Missouri branches of the family. We will all miss him. |
| March 7, 2004 | We have another new addition to the Wannall line. This week saw the arrival of Emily Grace West, the beautiful new daughter of Hillary Brooke Wannall West and Bryan Keith West. Baby, Mom, Dad and proud new grandparents are all doing well. |
| February 21, 2004 | We catalogued the rest of the Rebecca Collins contributions this week. We updated her profile (index 1927-01c) with her latest information including a nice profile picture, and added an interesting picture to the gallery of her uncle, James Wannall Jr. (gallery page 1932-01g1) We also identified the children and grandchildren in the picture on Dorris Wannall Collins' gallery page (1927-01g1.) |
| February 15, 2004 | Lots of things happening. First we heard from Victoria Wannall (index 1994-01) through her mother Mary Wannall (index 1967-05) with a progress report on the two of them and their family, father Richard Wannall (index 1967-01) and youngest daughter Elizabeth Wannall (index 1998-01.) Also the latest addition arrived last month. She is Kaitlyn Wannall (index 2004-01), brand new daughter of Douglas Wannall (index 1970-01) and Nyree Wannall (index 1975-04.) And our biggest contribution came from Rebecca Collins (index 1927-01c) who sent us over a dozen family photographs. We placed all the ones we could identify in the appropriate profile pages and galleries for James Raymond Wannall (index 1907-01), Alice Wannal (index 1907-02), Doris Wannall Collins (index 1927-01), Bessie Wannall (index 1907-03), Walter Robert Collins Jr (index 1927-01a), James Raymond Wannall Jr. (index 1932-01), Patricia Luber Wannall (index 1932-02), and M. Ruth Wannall (index 1936-01.) To save time you can click on these links to go directly to the updated galleries: James Wannall, Alice Wannall, Doris Collins, James Wannall Jr., Ruth Wannall, and Walter Collins Jr. |
| September 6, 2003 | When it rains it pours! This week we heard from two Wannalls and updated nine profiles. On the Henry Clay line we learned that Kimberly Wannall (index 1975-01) married Mark Kovach in March of this year. Congrats to the newlyweds! Her sister, Hillary Wannall (index 1978-01) is expecting and due in February. Their grandparents, George Wannall (index 1919-01) and Vera Wannall (index 1919-02) recently celebrated their 61st anniversary, and we updated their pages as well. From Melissa LouAnn Wannall (index 1987-01) in Missouri we learned more about the descendants in Bernard Layton Wannall's second family. We updated our family tree, Melissa's profile page, and those of her father William Keith Wannall (index 1963-01), her mother Marena LouAnn Wannall (index 1963-02), her brother Samuel Guy Wannall (index 1992-03), and her niece Jasmin Marie Wannall (index 2001-02.) Thanks, cousin Melissa! Interested in a (non-paying) part time job? |
| August 16, 2003 | It is very rare anymore we get new information, however every once in a while an email comes our way. That's what happened this week when we learned a little more about Maxine Nellie Willkins Wannall (index 1916-02). Maxine becomes the first update for 2003. Hopefully she will not be the last. |
