Ethel (Emma Jean) Sansom

My grandmother was named Emma Jean Sansom but changed her name to Ethel because she liked it better for some reason. I love the name Emma Jean! She was born 19 Sep 1901 in Wayne County WV, to Millard Sansom and Ella Nunley Sansom.
Here are some photos of Ethel:

Ella Nunley Sansom

Ella Nunley Sansom was my Great Grandmother. She died at a young age (23) after becoming the mother to three daughters: Emma Jean (Ethel), Verlia and Addie Sansom. Here is a photo of her holding my grandmother Ethel.

Welcome To My Sansom Blog

I'm so excited to have a place to share my Sansom family genealogy and hope to meet up with some Sansom cousins along the way. My Grandmother's name was Ethel (Emma Jean) Sansom. She was born in Wayne County West Virginia and her relatives include Sansoms in Cabell County WV (VA), Pike County KY and Giles County VA.
I will be adding Sansom photos, census information and whatever research notes I have for the Sansom family in these areas. I hope you'll stop back often.
