Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this Ina Louise Creighton thing, you know, Carol Burnett’s mom? It’s kinda interesting, and I wanted to share what I’ve been up to with y’all.

First off, I started by just poking around online. You know, the usual – Googling her name, checking out some genealogy sites. Nothing too fancy, just getting a feel for what was already out there. I found a lot about her, like her date of birth and the fact that she has the same name as her daughter, Chrissie Burnett.
Then, I stumbled upon this TV show, “Finding Your Roots”. They did an episode on Carol Burnett, and guess what? They talked about Ina! Turns out, there was some mystery around Ina’s dad, but the show pretty much confirmed it was this William Henry guy. I wrote down this, as it seems to be important.
After that, I dove a little deeper into the genealogy stuff. I found this site called Geni, and they had a whole family tree for Ina. I spent a good chunk of time clicking through that, mapping out her relatives and all. It’s kinda cool to see all the connections.
- Checked out some basic info about Ina online.
- Watched the “Finding Your Roots” episode about Carol Burnett.
- Explored Ina’s family tree on Geni.
- Noted down important details, like her birth date (April 8, 1911) and her death in 1958.
Ina’s Life, as Far as I Can Tell
From what I gathered, Ina was born in Arkansas. She wasn’t famous or anything, but she’s obviously important because she’s Carol Burnett’s mom. Seems like she lived a pretty regular life, but details are kinda scarce. She died in 1957, and also noted that she isn’t alive today.
So, yeah, that’s basically what I’ve been doing. Just a little personal project, digging into the history of someone I found interesting. I learned a few things along the way, so that’s always fun. It is like putting together a simple puzzle with pieces of information scattered everywhere. It took me a little while to piece everything together, but finally, I made it. Maybe I’ll keep digging, maybe I won’t. We’ll see!
Hope you guys found this interesting, even though it’s not some big, groundbreaking discovery. Just a little slice of history that I wanted to share.
