Please Note:  I have completed moving the files from my .com site to this .net site so you may find some broken links.  If you care to do so, please send an email and let me know what you found in error so that I may correct it.  This site is always being updated so please visit often.  I offer my research, augmented by those who have generously supplied their own, as a place to start.  You should always verify any info you find on the net when it comes to lineages.

Hello! I am so glad you are visiting my site. My desire is to connect with lost relatives and to provide a central location for the history I have collected and continue to collect.


I am a 4th Generation Texan.  I LOVE TEXAS!  My ancestors came from many southern states (a few came from the north but I forgive them, *smile*) and from England, France, Germany, Ireland and Scotland.  I also have Cherokee and Creek ancestory.

Some of the surnames in my lines and related lines are:
Adams, Barr, Bell, Blakely, Briant, Butcher, Cain, Collinsworth/ Collingsworth, Coons, Craig, Cross, Dover, duSachoy, Duty, Evelman, Gardener, George, Hankins, Hardewyn, Hardin, Henry, Hogue, Holtzclaw, Ireland, Jolly, Jones, Joplin, Kilgore, Langston, Lawson, Lyon/s, Marr, Noeller, Orendorff, Pate, Peebles, Perrin,

My earliest, provable Texas ancestors arrived ca.1855.  My father's ancestors settled in what is now  Hardin,  Jefferson, Nacogdoches, Polk and Tyler Counties. I find my mother's ancestors are located in Bastrop, Collin, Hardeman, Somervell, Tarrant and Williamson Counties.

Please check back often as I update this site daily!

As time permits, I also conduct research for others for a reasonable donation.  Please send an email explaining how I can help you.

We should always be careful when we obtain
"official" documents. The people who typed
the information "way back when" made mistakes. 
A perfect example is my grandfather's birth certificate from Nacogdoches County, TX
