This version of the website has information on 2,070 individuals, updated 5 Jan 2012. You can see my mother's side, including Precise, Frazier, Womack, and Willbanks, and also my wife's side including Bukley, Browder, and Newton. Most of the family info represented here is from Jackson and DeKalb counties in Alabama.

Later I'll add what I have on my dad's family (Klan and Stumpholl). Additionally, I plan to incorporate some older photos I have available, along with scans of selected source documents. In due course, I also hope to add a guestbook, a cemetery listing/map, and perhaps a user's guide or FAQ.

Contributions, Access, and Privacy

If you have site suggestions, database additions/corrections, or photos that I can use, please contact me. I try to maintain good source info for the entries in my database, so be sure and provide whatever documentation is available when offering changes. I'm very interested in new information, and have recently received some wonderful input from site visitors (which is now reflected in the database).

Guest visitors may freely browse records for deceased individuals without logging in. For family members who contact me and establish their relationship to individuals in the database, I will provide log-in credentials allowing you to see names (only) of living persons in one or more branches. Additionally, if any living person wants their name to be invisible even to family members, let me know and I will make it so. I want to protect the privacy of living individuals while still providing reasonable access to family researchers.

My Thanks

I'm appreciative of the help I've received from my wife Donna (Bukley) Klan, my mother Nancy (Precise) Klan, my 1st cousin once-removed Sybil (Bishop) Hinman, and DeLayne (Newsom) Etherton, who not only is my wife's 3rd cousin but is also married to my 5th cousin once-removed! The records and/or research developed over the years by these folks has proved very useful as the "going gets tough."

I look forward to hearing from you (contact me). Thanks for taking a look at the site. ~Mark
