Hi, I am ARDESSIA GROZE de VAUGHN, a SU alumni. I live in Baton Rouge, LA and I am retired from the US Army. My daughter, Camille is deceased, my son Michael has (3) children Johnesha, age 5, Destiny age 4, and Michael age 2. My other granddaughter, Erica is 27. I was a nontraditional student and graduated 2000 Southern University and A & M College, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. In the military, I was a Drug & Alcohol Counselor in Germany, a Psychiatric Nursing Instructor San Antonio, TX and an Inpatient Psychiatric Supervisor Ft Dix, NJ, Seoul, Korea (twice), Fort Gordon, GA and Ft Jackson, SC. Attend Greater Beach Grove Missionary Baptist Church Lifetime member PSI CHI American Legion Adjutant - Ricard-Stewart American Legion Post 505 Presently, I am not active in church or my American Legion, because my mother is bedridden, a home patient in hospice. She is on God's time, not doctors. I enjoy genealogy reseach (Wilkinson County, MS and surrounding areas) and African American history. I am willing to share what I have and welcome any information.

Hey TSU, I hope we can connect. My research in mainly with the names: Vaughn, Arbuthnot, Trask and related individuals. The name of the area is Locus Hills in Fort Adams/Woodville area. The Arbuthnots are easy to trace but not the African American Vaughns or Trask. I have located my great-great grandparents as far back as 1870. If you are researching in the same area, I can help you. Give me the names you are researching. If I run across anything that can help you, I'll pass it on.

'Ey! Small world. I stay in Baton Rouge.
