MY GENEALOGY PAGE/DAVIDSON'S AND MORE
COME WITH ME AND LET'S CLIMB THOSE TREES

This page is for my DAVIDSON line, so if you know anyone or you are searching this line check it out and let me know if we might be cousins.

I have a big interest in my family history. This is a project that I've been working on for alittle over thirteen years now. For those of you who aren't new to genealogy you can understand the amount of time this takes and for those of you who are new to genealogy this is an on going task. This is something that takes time at the libraries and anywhere else you can find information.

This is a current list of the surnames connected to my family line. Some of these names I only have one person and others I have a truck load. I'm always looking for more information. The names in italics are my major lines.
