The research on this page started from nothing.I grew up without knowing who my biological father was.I knew nothing of my family history.I was born a Ford.I found that out when I was 40 years old!
Here are the surnames I have found so far.Ganey-Ford-Mitchell-Stanfield...Stanfill,Singeltary-Walker-Closson-Lewis-Willis-Owens-Kelly-Souls-Mott-Godwin-Souls-Jordan
Southern-Mcrae-Sewell-Thompson-Foy-Bufford-Collins-Tyson-Gibbs-Ashley-Peeples-Smith-King-Dunn-DID I FORGET ANYONE? Let me know
more to come
Help on these lines will be appreciated.......
I am hoping that no one in my family, ever has to wonder where ,or who they came from , like I did.
GOD BLESS AMERICA
