I want to thank all those that responded to my post on the above couple. I really appreciate the help. I thought I would post my surnames and tell you a little about my wesite. In early June I uploaded my first experience with a website . It is done in Frontpage Express which I have found is really easy to work with and gives me everything I need. My lines are mostly connected to West Virginia where everybody is related to everybody and rumors handed down through the family tell of Native American bloodlines and very little recorded documnets. My COLLINS line is my father's line and is what I have envested many years of work on. I have searched this line back to Meredith Collins b. 1760 Va. and feel this is a Melungeon /Native American line that dates back to the Saponi Indians of Orange Co. ( court record 1742) . Other lines include:COLLINS SPENCER TAYLOR BENNETT WILLIAMS WOODS COTTRILL PRINCE SHOULDERS PERRY PATTERSON LYONS ALLMAN FISHER GODFREY BAILEY LUSK I would like to invite all to visit my site at : http://members.xoom.com/BJ_Dillon/Appalachiack.htm Appalachia Creek Family History & Research
