My surnames that I am currently
researching:
Johnson,
Bales, Ridenour, Cox, Keith, McMillan, Rogers, Hensley,
Mulkey, Vineyard, Davis, Brown, Dyer,
Bohannon and tons
more.
These families were primarily from
Tennessee, but I have found links to NC, OK, PA, GA, MO, IN,
Scotland, Germany, France, and England to name a few.

One morning, I
awoke with the burning desire to find "my people". I can't
explain it and won't even try. I just know that I HAD to begin
this walk. The ancestors called to me and I heeded their call.
So, I began this journey to find those who make me-well, me.
It hasn't been a
easy road to walk. I'm amazed at how well they hide, even
dead. Some are better at it than others. LOL But,
I am committed to learning all that I can about them-all of
them. This journey is a gift from Unehlanv-so I will gladly
walk the path He has placed before me.
I have learned so
much about my family-some good, some not so good. They all
descend from different places, different worlds-all that makes
me who I am today. I have also learned a great deal
about myself. I have made some mistakes and made
some discoveries throughout this journey. I have
also made many great friends and met relatives I never knew
existed.
The bottom line-if
you decide to chase after your own people-is to understand one
important thing. You can't choose your family. But, you can
choose to celebrate who they were by caring enough to search.
Sometimes, it's the willingness to search that pleases them
most.
I'm slowly tracing
my family. And I'm proud to call them mine.
Below are several
different links to genealogy sites. Some are free, others are
not. Lastly, if you are interested in my genealogy-just click
on the photo of the North
Carolina hills.
