Hi Bette and thanks for your message...yes, David is my father, Malcolm is my grandfather, and Merlene is his wife (my grandmother).They are in their 90's now, still living in Ocala, and not fairing too well, but still getting along.I would be greatly appreciative of the information you have on our family's history...it is such a blessing to have found this site, and that someone actually knows about my family!My father was born and raised in Long Island, NY with his parents until they moved to Ocala, FL in the 80's...Daddy was in the Air Force when he met my mother, Elvea Conner, and soon moved to Florida.I was born in Ocala in 1980, and my little sister Cathy came along in 1989.There are only the 2 of us hailing from David and Elvea Rackett.This is very exciting for me because I have lost probably 90% of my family through the years due to moving, etc., so I only know of a handful of my bloodline, and know next to nothing about my family's background.All I know is there is quite a bit of Native American heritage on my mother's side, as well as Irish, but I know nothing of the Rackett side of the family.Thanks again so much for your reply...this is so exciting!=)I look forward to keeping in touch with you.It was nice to have made your acquaintance.
