I have been compiling the information that I have collected on my family tree for about four months. I want to leave a family pedigree for my children. I have travelled extensively over North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia for over 55 years visiting relatives, collecting photographs, copying and reading records, and listening to family members share stories of my family history.
I have attended reunions and family gatherings and copied pedigrees, photos, and dates from family records and bibles. I have relied on senior relatives for much of my information.I have shared info on message boards with relatives who are searching the same family.Genealogists have contributed with information gathered from court records, etc. I am constantly searching for new information to update the current home page
