My Genealogy Journey

Thank you for visiting my blog! I am Dante Eubanks, a native of Cincinnati, Ohio. My interest in family history and wanting to know more about my roots began in the spring of 1987 when my English Teacher tasked our class with our research project which was to develop a family tree. At the time I knew my maternal great-grandparents on my grandmother, Jessie Mae Heath-Eubanks' side and so I began the task of asking questions. My dedication to my ancestry research truly began in 1989, and I have not regretted one moment.


I knew the assignment would be easy as I spent every summer and weekends at my great-grandparents house, so I knew the family history or at least I thought I did. My grandmother's parents were Mitchell Heath and Anna Lue Barrow, and there story is told within the my posts. Genealogy to me is more than just research, but it is discovering the journey of my Ancestors, their life's story, and what they want to be shared with the generations of today. I have always felt this was my calling, and I am honored to have answered the Ancestors' call!


Through my journey, I also discovered my maternal grandfather, William Eubanks' lineage through his parents with emphasis on his mother, Henrietta Jones-Eubanks' family which is my Yazoo County and Madison County, Mississippi; Maryland, Kentucky, and South Carolina connections. His paternal lineage is my Attala County, Mississippi, Putnam County, Georgia; Charles County, Maryland, and Virginia family connections. These Ancestors will be honored in another blog.


This blog and all the information contained herein is for the Ancestors!

  2. Is it safe to assume that all Heath's are related? I'm a Heath but I don't know any of them.
