Rita and Others, David Sandidge (my cousin), and I are just beginning to research our line of the Sandidges. We have very little information to date, but have purchased the Ultimate Family Tree and are trying to find time to learn how to use it! We both live in Buena Vista, VA. In case you are wondering where we are, it's a small city located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. What we have so far is listed below and we are wondering if anyone can tie in with this information. We enjoy reading the information from Sandidge roots web and hope somehow we can start to see a tree form for us one day!
