I use Family Tree Maker 7, and I would love to compare notes with anyone researching one of my family lines. I can send you a gedcom or a FTW file, or I can send you a plain text outline of my research. Please return the favor by sharing any information you have on our family.
My direct lines include these surnames: McElhenney/McElhaney, Kinard, Smith, Herrington, Hollingsworth, Wells, Collins, Reaves, and others. Most of these are found in NC, SC, GA, AL, and MS. I have also created a web site for McElhaney Genealogy.
Mick's direct lines include these surnames: Payne, Carr, Blodgett, Steib/Stieb, Sheldon, Wylder, Mason, May and others. Most of these are found in TN, IL, OK, KS, CO, and NE.
To see all of the surnames I am researching, you can view my gedcom on WorldConnect. Some of the information is undocumented, so please don't assume all of it is fact. Check out the details for yourself. And if you do have documentation that proves or disproves information that I have or if you see any information that you can correct or supplement, please email me. This is a work in progress, and there is always room for improvement.
