Hey Gina, I am Ellen Lifer Jones, daughter of Charles Ellis Lifer and granddaughter of the late William Lifer of Mississippi. I know I have run across your "Lifer" line before, but still am not sure where we link up.
First names definitely run in the family. My sister's daughter is named "Gina Diane". My brother is Charles Randolph Lifer.
Thanks for posting the pic. I'll forward the post along to my Lifer Clan!
Hi Gina, I am Karen Lifer Greenhaw, Ellen's sister. My daughter is Gina Greenhaw Mullins, newly married and living in Montgomery, AL.
FYI Peyton and Eli Manning are 4th cousins to Ellen and me, so you could be distantly related, too!
Hey Gina, I am also one of the infamous Lifers. Been dealing with the police for near 30 years but am in the jail now. My sisters Ellen and Karen can vouch for me. BTW, I have a daughter named Sarah Elizabeth and my first name is Charles. That Charles Lifer was a handsome devil wasn't he? And marrying a 17 year old. There is only one Lifer male left to pass on the name here, my son Charles Ryan Lifer, age 7.
Hi Gina, I am Ellen, Karen and Charles sister, Virginia (Ginny) Lifer Taylor. Our dad is Charles Ellis Lifer here in Huntsville, AL. Our mom is Ann W. Lifer. They have been married like 53 years or something. Enjoyed the info on Charles and Elizabeth Lifer of 1879. I never realized that there were so many Charles Lifers.
Hello Lifers ! That is something that there are so many Charles Lifers. in Germany maybe My Uncle Charles Lifer said he spoke to one of your Lifers once. My mom says she remembers your line from before also. She is really into the details and she hasn't been able to link it up. I bet we are related way back in New York or even back in Germany. Fun stuff. Gina
