About the Author

Charles Lee Bilberry lives in Las Vegas, Nevada with his wife Taryn Bilberry. He is retired and spends much of his time traveling, fishing and teaching Christian education classes. Genealogy is also one of his hobbies and passions. He has written two books: There’s More Leaves on the Tree’ and ‘What’s So Good About the Good News?’ Charles began studying his family’s history in 1997. He was motivated by his love for his family, extended family and friends that lived in the Union Parish area of Louisiana. He believes that, “as generations pass, people and their lives may be forgotten, but researching your family heritage gives you the opportunity to discover who your ancestors really are. You will gain strength by learning how your ancestors met life’s challenges and how they overcame those challenges. Our ancestors are the link to our past but they are also the bridge to our future.”
