Welcome!

My name is Rhio, and I have many interests.  I am an avid reader, with a great interest in the English language and pass some of my spare time solving crossword puzzles.  I paint using two mediums-oil and acrylic.  I enjoy singing and harmonizing, playing the piano and guitar;  however, my latest engrossing interest is genealogy.

of mine on my Southern roots.

Thank You
To my aunt, Helen [Jefferson] Storey, a big thank you for all that you have done to preserve our 
family records and history.  I hope I can equal your efforts in continuing the work you began.

By clicking on the family tree book belowyou will link 
to my maternal and paternal genealogies.

JEFFERSON, COWDREY, ESTES, WOOD, GILLIS, MORRONE / MARRONE, are my major surnames.
There are many more surnames too numerous to list here who married into these families.

I have linked names with pictures of the individuals and / or additional information and / or lateral family trees.
(All underlined names and words are links.) If you have any trouble navigating this site, I would appreciate
hearing from you, especially if a link is not working properly. With so many files, and links, it can happen.  Enjoy!

Note:
As with any information on the internet, it should only serve as a template for further research.  I will not guarantee that every piece of information on these pages is 100% accurate, and will accept corrections, additions and subtractions to my genealogies with substantiation. I will say, it is the latest of my research and the research of others.  E-mail addresses of other researchers are included .

The COWDREY revision was posted on the COWDREY page.
The first six generations are not complete nor accurate,
but closer to reality than the Mehling work of 1911.   It is a working template.
If you can offer your help on this genealogy, it will be appreciated.

I want to thank all who have volunteered their time and skills to transcribe the vital records that are quickly disappearing due to time and corrupting conditions.  So many of you are dedicated to the free access of on-line genealogical data and information for which I and many others are grateful.
  "Thank you, volunteers!"
