Genealogy
As a youngster I helped my mother draw family trees, visited graveyards with her, and pored over family group sheets, but it is only in the past five years that I have begun to take it seriously. This website is an attempt to share what I have learned about various family lines, and hopefully to make connections with other researchers.
Maternal Line
My maternal line is mainly centered in Gaston, Cleveland, and Mecklenburg Counties of North Carolina and in York County, South Carolina.
Paternal Line
My father's family lines are mostly midwestern: Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, plus Ohio and Vermont.
My Partner's Family
Angela's family also comes from the midwest; Illinois, Iowa, and Kentucky.
Merritts
The information on the Merritt family has been removed as of 12 September 2003. My apologies to Merritt family researchers.
Other Information
Other information which is not family-specific:
The main index lists over 1600 people as well as 309 surnames. Or you can also start with me and work your way back. Whether you find a relative or just like the site, please let me know at bonanza@nc.rr.com.
