Robert "Bob" Eugene Doyle Jr.: Memories of the First-Born of a Last-Born
I received some fun photos and family history details from Robert "Bob" Eugene Doyle Jr. - the oldest child of Robert Eugene Doyle & Betty Jane Keating. Bob's father was the youngest child of the John Albert Doyle & Florence Bates Doyle family.

A Cropped Portion of the Photo ... Florence May Bates Doyle—about 1 year before her passing. (Florence's husband, John Albert Doyle, passed away in 1939.) |
My father was Robert Eugene Doyle — John and Florence's youngest. I am Robert Eugene Jr. The oldest of their 8 children. My Dad was my best friend all of my life. He was a devoted family man who died suddenly at 54 years old in 1975. He is the reason for my career choice. I have had boats since the age of 7 yrs old, and still do 70 years later! I'm a retired Charter boat and Yacht delivery Merchant Marine Master Captain, living on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs Arkansas. I grew up with Danny Waldron and Bobby Dowling. Uncle Arlington was my Godfather.

The Family of John Gordon Doyle & Mary Bernadine Daley Doyle |
And the trail ends here for one branch of the tree ... John Gordon and Mary Bernadine had six children: Elizabeth, Eileen, J. Gregory, Patricia, Leo, and Michael. From these six children (who would be the sixth generation from Arthur and Mary), 25 grandchildren were born ... and countless great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, etc.... The sprawl continues and continues! It was the second child of this family—Eileen (in the striped shirt)—who felt inspired to record family memories and research extra details on this particular branch of Doyle Family history, creating The Doyle Dining Room Blog.

Margie Frazer - Eileen Doyle's Ancestry Partner! (At the Sea of Galilee in 2019) |
What a great e-mail I received recently! I claim the credit for getting Aunt Eileen to start the Doyle Dining Room blog, however, it was our cousin, Margie Frazer (wife of Jim Frazer and daughter-in-law of Marion Doyle Frazer) who really connected with Aunt Eileen on all the deep study. Margie helped out in great ways to keep the blog information solid and correct. And, cousin Margie misses her dear "Ancestry Partner"!😢 Here's her e-mail ...
