Good morning Karen, Welcome to the ROOTWALKER family! We're very happy that you found us, too! We'll see what we can do to help you with your research whenever we can. Vanessa and I have compiled a "List Of Names To Keep An Eye Out For." This list is made up of names sent to us by members of the ROOTWALKER family along with the counties their families were in. We carry this list with us when we visit different archives and libraries across the ROOTWALKER region. We look this list over to refresh our memories, then when we notice familiar names in records we are researching, we verify the names are on this list and collect the information for the ROOTWALKER family member researching that name. We have tripped across a lot of previously unknown records by using this method. I am going to put your family names on this list right away, if you don't mind. If you can tell us what documentation you already have we will ignore that information if we happen across it again. Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. God Bless America!
