This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Laster, Callaway Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/HKB.2ACI/412.1.1 Message Board Post: Hello, my line began "I think" in Georgia, alabama, Tennessee, possibly into Kentucky and then on into Texas and Oklahoma. Frank Laster (on census spelled Lassiter 1880) was born in 1829 and migrated to Texas. He married a Mahaley Callaway who is listed as being borninAlabama and Georgia. Many of Franks family migrated into Oklahoma and this line I only know that his sister was named Lena. In my line the names Frank and James run through every generation. In fact my brother is named Frank and he was born in 1947 and my father and oldest brother are named Willard James Laster, as well as a great uncle who died in California who was called "Uncle Son." Finally, we are African American and if you think this is a connection, drop m a line at [email protected]
