            My name is Eric Thomas from Randolph County Georgia, I am a desendent of Mckinney Melton, my mother is Janice Melton Dale she was the daughter of Jack Melton 1915-2001. My moms brother John Claude Melton and myself were very interested in finding out more about the family history and also maybe coming to the family reunion sometime in the future if we were invited. I am a teacher and coach and my Uncle is a Doctor and writer. Thanks for your time      Eric

The family pages have been removed and in its place is a online database. You can now generate many custom charts as well print reports on how you are related to someone else just set your ancestor as a favorite and then go to another person and you will see a option to create the relationship chart in the chart menu.

If you have data to add or edits you would like to make please request an account on the system.

My great grandmother was Samira Louise Tyson, sister of Laurette Tyson Melton.  I noticed in your family tree that you have William S Harper married to Amanda Oglesby.  I too found that info but do not believe it is the same William Harper that had been married to my Samira Louise.  I think that the WH married to Amanda was born in 1869 in LA whereas my great grandfather was born in Texas in 1851 and died there in 1924.  I have no further info on him or his family, so if anyone out there has some input I would appreciate it.  Will Harper and Samira (Sallie) had three children before she died. The oldest Will Harper Jr sent his dad military postcards in the early 1920’s in Texas. He also lived part of his later years with Laura’s daughter Mollie.  Any of Mollie’s descendants out there with any family history on the early childhood years of Will, his sister Alma or brother Sam?  Again thanks for having this blog available, hope to hear from someone soon
