One Family's Journey Through Time Revisited R. G. Tidwell

The author's first book, One Family's Journey through Time, was written as a compilation of the genealogical research of Richard Tidwell's family line as well as Jerry Tidwell's family life memories from childhood to adulthood and the treasured stories he heard while growing up. The information in the book was primarily about his grandfather, Nathan Jerry Tidwell, and his immediate family. The book did not contain information about extended family because the author did not know much about his great uncles and their family lines. He wasn't even sure who to contact to obtain this information. After the release of Our Family's Journey through Time, family members came forth and offered to share their family stories. This allowed Mr. Tidwell to revisit his first work and include more detailed genealogy and many more stories and photographs. Our Family's Journey through Time Revisited includes over 170 pages of new information and numerous new photographs. The author is not an author in the conventional sense of the word in this work but more of a compiler. He simply gathered everyone's stories and updates, compiled them and had them published. The early family history from Richard Tidwell who emigrated from England to Virginia in 1650 as an indentured servant through the Virginia history of the early Tidwells and Reuben Tidwell who settled in Warren County, Tennessee is retained in this work. This book updates the families of Reuben's son Robert Tidwell through Robert's sons Richard T. Tidwell and John D. Tidwell. This book brings this branch of the family up to date to the latest marriages, births and deaths as of June of 2012.
