Six degrees of separation or less

My cousin's son. Just found this video. I don't know this side of the family very well. California to Mississippi was just too far when I was a child and as a young family. Made contact through my genealogy research. Don't think he is competing these days. This was almost 7 years ago, but his fame lives on.

The Caraothers Carolla - Memorable X Games Moments

Thursday, March 11, 2010







Top Row: George Ramsey and Ellen Toomey Sievers Middle Row: Elbert Chitwood and Elsey Strunk Ramsey (not sure if they were married when this was taken), Front Row: ? and Verda Strunk Weddle Jeffers ( I believe original had 4th young ladies name, but I can't find the original right this minute. Wasn't on my original ancestry.com post)


Ellen Toomey was Verda and Elsie's Step Sister. George Ramsey and Elsie married on 27 Oct 1912. Elbert Chitwood's mother was a Strunk although pretty distant relation to Verda and Elsie. Elbert's Maternal Great Grandfather Isham Strunk b 1817 was the youngest son of Daniel Strunk and his second wife, Abigail. Verda & Elsie's Grandfather was Daniel Strunk, b 1822 son of the first Daniel and his third wife, Honor Pennington.

Daniel Strunk was a very prolific ancestor. Divorced his first wife apparently (no children) and fathered at least 34 children between his other 3 wives.

(I just found that I posted this photo on deadfred.com and there I apparently identified the unknown young lady in front as Cindy Hayes. Don't think she is a relative.)
