With seven grandchildren, I have searched for information about my ancestors to pass on to these children. My interest started when I received the old family pictures from my mother, Billie P. Nichols. Her uncle, Salvo Pounders, was a photographer, and I am guessing that is why we have these beautiful old pictures of the family of the late 1800's to early 1900's. I wanted my grandchildren to know who these people were and something about them. I have created a scrapbook called "Lives Worth Remembering-A Mountain Family" which includes the family pictures from my ancestors.

If you have any information about any of my relatives, I would appreciate if you would share the information and/or corrections with me. Please be in touch: acatlake@charter.net

Hope you enjoy this history as much as I have enjoyed getting it together and I will continue to add information as I get it.
