Looking for my dad's dad and family
This may be a long shot, but I don't know where else to go with it. My grandmother was Leona Proffitt, born 1914, in Tazwell, Virginia, to Charly Proffitt. She had a son around 1930/31, named Melvin Bernard (my dad). They are both gone now, and I don't have any family sources to check this out. She told me years ago that his dad's name was Hunt (don't remember a first name); that he was killed in some kind of horse riding accident when my dad was a baby. She left Virginia for Texas and married a man there who adopted my dad. His last name became McCain and he dropped the first name of Melvin and went by Bernard. If you could help me with this I would be so grateful. I would like to leave our family lineage to my children, but am hitting a brick wall in most searches.
