aliasal asked for it
Aaliasal suggested that I post the surnames that I am still researching. Here goes . . .
Holland: landed in Boston, then to James River, then Suffolk/Nansemond VA, then NC, then Tennessee, then White Co ARK, then Texas
Royall, Wilkinson: Joseph Royall/Katherine Banks, John Wilkinson/Sarah Royall, landed in Virginia, then SC,
Frances Morgan Wilkinson married Robert Galbraith Bland moved to Alabama, then Mississippi, Bland married Yeates...lots of blanks to fill in there before Elijah Morgan Yeates.
Frederick: can't get back further than Capt. Peter Frederick and wife Miss Kenan in Duplin Co. N. Carolina
Trail on Crisp, Butler & Havens before N. Carolina also runs dry.

Hello Southern Roots
I've been a member of this group for quite a while now, without posting a formal hello. How very rude! Sorry about that.
After my dad died suddenly and unexpectedly of a massive heart attack in 1999, I started researching his family history. It made me feel closer to him somehow. It didn't take me long to get hooked.
Thank God for the internet. I don't know how people did it before the worldwide web began connecting cousins from east coast to west coast and all points in between with a click of a button.
Every time I would "hit a wall," some distant cousin of mine in Alabama or Virginia or North Carolina would find me and bridge my gap of knowledge. To all of those noble and generous souls, both family and strangers, who gave so freely from their decades of research, Thank you. I promise to pass it on.
