GENEALOGY

I started this blog several months ago but I have decided to make some changes and improvements.  I have changed the name of this blog to Lile Family Research in the quest for answers to a family mystery that I am trying to solve.  
When my Father was living he had all of the answers.  However, at that time I did not have any questions about my family heritage.  
So, the research begins...  This blog will be a work in progress as I learn how to navigate the different aspects of researching my family's ancestry or genealogy as well as learning how to build a successful blog.  
The question is...who is my great-grandfather's mother???

My father:  Robert Heston Lile, Jr.  (also known as Bob or Junior)
My Grandfather:  Robert Heston Lile, Sr.
My Great-Grandfather:  Lafayette Raglin (?) Lile (?) (also known as Lafe)

This is as far as I can go today.  I still need to organize my paperwork and work on my new Family Tree Maker 2012 and get some of the information that I do have in order before I move forward.
