Surnames: Alexander Mainord Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AgB.2ACE/319 Message Board Post: I'm a great-great-grandson of Harvey M. Alexander & Melinda Jane Mainord. I have no clue who Harvey M.'s parents were, although I think they were from Mecklenburg, North Carolina. Melinda Jane Mainord's parents were Aldridge Alphis Mainord and Alice Jane Allison from Madison County, TN. Harvey & Melinda both had 8 children together and from there I know there are many descendants. John Vinson was one of their sons (and he's my great-grandfather). So far, the only family members I can make contact with is the descendants of my grandfather and one of his brothers. I have an online family tree that's looking to clear up a lot of blanks. I'm actually getting more on the Mainords than the Alexanders (which isn't a bad thing, the Mainords are family too, but I'd like a lot more Alexander info). I'd be willing to share anything that I know of John Vinson's descendants (which is a lot already). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Scott Alexander Lakeland, FL
