Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.

John Vaughn was born about February 9, 1888. He was married to Bertha Florence Gaunt, daughter of James Knox Polk Gaunt and Sarah Naomi Boone, who is my 3rd cousin 3x removed.
Nellie M. Gaunt, daughter of John Gaunt, Jr. and Mary M. Walter, was born February 9, 1895 in Gloucester City, Camden County, New Jersey. She is my 4th cousin 2x removed.
