Hi guys,
I'm trying to trace my history, unfortunately I didn't have much to start with. Honestly, I can't get past the Great Grandparent's. Its like they drop off before that, no marriage or census records, nothing. My grandmother once told me that she thought my great great grandfather's name was Isaac, but I can't find anything to prove that. She also swore we were Indian (I'm supposed to be 1/64) but again, I've not found anything to support any of that. I'm hoping someone can help me get past this gap so I can keep tracing back.
We have family farm land on the FL/AL line, its called "Bud O's Misery". There's a small church on the Alabama side that a bunch of the McKinnons and Outlaws are buried. Gum Head is one of the names of the places around where they all lived.
Also, I have a picture of my grandfather, and someone I never met standing beside a gravestone (William F Parker 1867-1926)
Family Lineage that I know:
