Hello to Everyone, Just finished updating our website. There are now 8041 individuals and 1711 separate surname. I have a new format for the site which may prove a lot more efficient that the one before. It never ceases to amaze me how much the surnames are inter-mingled within families. For example I was entering a family of Samfords and right in the middle of the children were a couple of them who took on the name of Sanford. A whole family changed their names so as not to be associated with the father...Samford to Sanford and Sanford to Samford...this seemed to be quite common Good Searching Sandie

I am trying to confirm connections of the Sanford family from Wabash C. Ill. My Father is Clayton S. Sanford. His Father was Fitzhugh Lee Sanford married to Zena Babb. His father was William J. Sanford married to Juliet ??. I have found an Isaac Sanford in the 1880 Census that was father to a William but have not proved the connection. Any help out there??? It would be appreciated. Thank you. Robert G. Sanford

Anybody have anything on Onacata Arana Magolona (Mary) Sanford b. abt 1832, Alabama d. 1898 Shelby County TX married Dr Mallaleel Johnson?

Hughes married Dorothea Samford - grand-daughter of William & Barbara Samford #4 - Jamima J. Hughes married Snider N. Ssmford - -son of William & Barbara Samford #5 - William P. Hughes married Rebecca Samford - grand-daughter of William & Barbara Samford #6 - Andrew F. Hughes (there is no record of him after the Civil War) #7 - Ennis C. Hughes married “Lettie” Weaver - gr-grand-daughter of William & Barbara Samford

Jesse Sanford was born about 1844 in SC, possibly Pickens County. He married Eliza A. Broom about 1869, again most likely in Pickens or Oconee Co., SC. In 1870 they are living in McMinn Co., TN with one child in the home, Burrell Sanford born about 1869, most likely in Oconee Co., SC. This is the last record I have of them. If you have mention of Jesse Sanford and his family in your database, I would love to hear from you. Kathleen Burnett .

Caswell Polk SANFORD, Sr., was born ca 1778 allegedly somewhere in NC. I have learned that there is a community called Polk within Caswell County, NC. That struck me as interesting. Can anyone affirm whether there were SANFORD's in that part of NC duing the mid to late 1700's? I need to establish the names of Caswell's parents as well as any siblings. David

Hi, Could anyone tell me anything about the Sanford line in Ohio? I am trying to find information on my great grandfather Rollin or Rolland SANFORD around Portage County , Ohio . His daughter , my grandmother was born in 1887 From the information I have so far , her mothers maiden name was Mack. Any information about the SANFORD lines in Ohio would be appreciated. Thank you and Happy New Year. Carol St.Pete Beach, Fl.

I saw where you have a newsletter about the Sanford family. While I have an ancestor with that last name, I was really searching for Samford which is my maiden name. Do you have any information? Lucinda Cannon

I want to extend to all my wish that all the Joys of the Season are their and their families. I want to share this with you. When I started my genealogy research I had no ancestral family that I was aware of. My parents have been gone for thirty or more years. I have six beautiful children and nine grandchildren. Altho they are the joy of my life there was something missing. Five years ago I became disabled and am on SSD. After working for 40 years it was quite a blow. I needed something to do to keep me feeling worthwhile. I want you all to know that each of you have contributed to helping me feel whole again. You have given me a purpose in life and a feeling of family and "belonging". I want to say "Thank you" and God Bless.. Love to each and every one of my "cousins" Sandie
