Traci is a friend of mine. We have common surnames in our families from Pike Co. MO. Very intriguing since since my family is white. Anyway, I read your referral below and it looks as though hers is an older site since many links are no longer valid. I e-mailed Traci to inform her you had referred to her site. I'm not sure if she has another more up to date site or not, but I do know she is still working on her genealogy. Her e-mail address is correct on the URL provided below, so she can be reached.
