5 Generations Together
Me, my mother, her father, his mother, and her mother
Circa early 2000s

Thanks so much for visiting my website!

My name is August. I was born in the 90s in Union Co., NC and raised there by my maternal grandfather's sister (my great-aunt). I was named after my maternal great-grandfather, Floyd Augustus "Shorty" Trull.

I have been researching my family history since 2013. I started creating my family tree through my aforementioned great-aunt's lived knowledge and the Shuman family bible that she posesses; Annie Mae Shuman was her grandmother and my great-great grandmother.

I am a descendant of Robert Chester Trull and wife Annie Mae Shuman as well as John Erastus Smith and wife Rosa Adeline Hargett. Rosa is pictured to the far left in the above photo.

This website currently focuses on my maternal side, but I would like to expand research to include my paternal side as well, eventually. My paternal side is from western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.
