Hi Joann, When I took a genealogy course, the instructor said we could go all the way back to Adam & Eve and I was a little skeptical, because of all the name changes and using first names only or first names and the town name for a last name, only to change it again when they moved to a new location. This is great! Where did you find it and is it available to be purchased? Who is your last person that branched off the Sturgills? We can exchange info if you like. Mary

I purchased the chart through my Churches genealogy library. I do not know if they all have them or not though. If you have an lds (church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) chapel in your town, chances are they have a genealogy library there with specified hours that they are open. You can check there. If they don't have it they may be able to get it for you. If they can't or you don't want to fool with that I will see if there is any way to copy this one and send it to you. that is also a very valueable place to get alot of good information and they will or should be more than willing to help you. They have computers, cds, microfilm and fish, and many books available. Especially if they have been there for a while. Meanwhile, you can go to their site on the internet, they do tell that these sources are not documented and to use them only for reference. http://www4.familysearch.org/Browse/browse.asp is the address. When you get there go to the "Search for Ancesters" section and type in your Sturgill line beginning with Lewis' son. Put the two generations in and it should give you what I have. Now Ramona has been there and said she found several mistakes, but it will give you a starting place and you won't believe how far it goes back. If you go to the details section on individual records, which you get by double clicking on individual names, you will see who submitted the information also. There are mistakes, but it will get you started. Let me know, and I would be happy to collaberate with you.
