Surnames: Garland and Brandon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3AC.2ACE/1494 Message Board Post: Good Morning, I am trying to help my mom research her heritage. My mom's name is Thelma White; born July 11, 1942. Her mother's name was Mrs. Marie Elizabeth Garland Brandon. (maiden name:Garland) She died in 2001. (Aug 9th) She was born November 22, 1907 in Ringgold, VA. Her father's name was Maynard C. Brandon. (unknown birthday) He died in 1974 (I believe that's the correct year). Marie and Maynard were married April 8, 1928 in Sutherlin, VA. Marie and Maynard had 7 children. My mom is one of the 7. Also, I found this on the old church bulletin from 2001. Marie Garland Brandon's mother's name was Fannie Garland (unknown maiden name). Her father's name was Moses Garland. They had seven children too, and my grandmother (Marie) is one of their children. Thank you for your help. May God Bless You. Nikita Silver
