I was born in the western NC mountains, just across the SC state line in Henderson County. I have been doing family research for over 30 years. I feel fortunate that I have been able to find the histories of most of my ancestors, and have contributed memorials for many of them on Find-A-Grave. Please let me know if you find any errors in my submissions.
