Alabama Roots

I was 12 the first time I filled in a family tree chart. Now turned 42 more times than I care to reveal, I carry daily bite marks from the genealogy bug. Always a pleasure to scratch!

The purpose of this blog is to share the information collected on my Alabama family over the last 11 years. There's a lot of it. Positive comments, suggestions, and corrections are always welcome.

These are my rules of thumb: Facts are stated with sources. Speculation is labeled as such. I try to give credit to those people who have helped me along the way, and would like credit if my work is used elsewhere. I try not to publish information about living people unless I get permission. I won't publish any information about the parents of living people and only occasionally will publish information about grandparents.

The primary subjects are the family of Davidson McGuire & Margaret Kelley, I go up and down the trees, and sometimes collaterally. I have dreams of writing a novel someday about one of them.

Happy hunting to friends and soon-to-be-discovered kin!
