Hi, Howard, and welcome again to the list. Can you give us a little more information on your family? Your grandmother's name? Your father's and mother's names and birth years? You mention growing up in Georgia... What part? Are you old enough to be listed in the 1940 census? You'd be surprised at how many Lovelxxx people there actually are! If you can answer some of these questions about your family, then maybe we will have a little more to go on.

There is little documentation to work with. I remember things my parents told me and I can find other members of the family but not with the Loveless name. My grandfather Joe H. Loveless dropped out of sight around 1902 shortly after my father was born. I presume my grandparents were married, the family Bible is the only documentation. I was told that Joe was a prizefighter and his last known location was Arizona. In the mid 1950's one of my father's McGregor cousins thought they could find Joe but my father wasn't interested. I have three sons by birth, one adopted, and currently three grandsons with the Loveless name. I have collected all of the documentation known to exist and am trying to preserve it in case any of them want it in the future. I have met other people with the Loveless name and the Lovelace name but do not know of any true relatives. In one of your emails there was mention of Loveless people in Michigan and Frank Loveless. I currently live in Michigan and met a Frank Loveless several times. He changed jobs and I retired so I lost contact with him. He used to tell me we were cousins because all Loveless people are related. That is ironic since my father's barber where I grew up in Georgia was named Frank Loveless and they knew of no common relatives in the town they both grew up in. Anyway, this might be another interesting piece of the ever evolving Loveless name puzzle. Have a good day. It is nice to meet you'all and I hope to converse more with you later.
