Having lived in Mississippi for about eight years -- and having been engaged in family research for a few decades -- it's been fun to learn that there are Galeys in Mississippi.
We only wish we'd learned about them during our years in the Magnolia State. Truth is, family research got put on the back burner during those busy years of work and travel!
But "Google Search" has been a friend for the past year or so, helping us track everything from stories about Chadron State College alum Danny Woodhead as he navigates through a successful career in the National Football League, to stories about the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service, which has always been one of our interests.
So when an article in the Jackson (MS) Free Press popped up through Google Search, we were able to learn a bit about one Chuck Galey, who is shown above.
Chuck has made a name for himself as an illustrator for children's books. A native of Greenwood, Mississippi, Chuck now lives in Jackson -- our old stomping ground from 1993 to 2001.
Now, we have no idea whether or not Chuck Galey is a part of the Galey clan that migrated out of Indiana to Missouri and Nebraska -- but who knows? If he is, we'll have to give some thought to which "Chuck Galey" we're talking about, since our nephew Charles "Chuck" Galey has been the only "Chuck" known to our Nebraska Galey line.
