Graduation Speech: My Great-Grandfather Yorke Rhyme

Decent Essays
I found a death record for my great-grandfather Yorke Rhymes he's connected to my mother side. On the record, it listed his birth 1879 in Keithville, LA died in 1931. The record also listed his parents, Manuel Rhymes and Fannie Bolden.

So, I'm thinking maybe connected to Yorke's mother side. I notice in your tree had many great-grandparents with surname Bolden. Are you the home person in your tree referring to the pedigree chart starts with you and looking back to your parents, grandparents, and many great-grandparents?

I haven't traced more on Yorke's parents. I'll let you know if can trace more into them.

Meanwhile, David Wallace, in his “This is Water” speech, talks about the harsh reality and his repetitive life conflicts he went through after graduating college.
