To all my family (and my extended family that I will never meet this side of Heaven), I hope what I've added to Find A Grave will uplift and encourage you in your pursuit of our mutual ancestry. I'm mostly working from a 246 page family history binder that has a ton of detailed info (including family lines outside my own direct line. Ex. Dr John Tate Davis 1842-1896). I hope to add more pictures and or documentation to Find A Grave as the weeks and months (and hopefully years) go by. I'm also mostly working on relatives of Henry Monroe Davis #108424148, Mary Catherine Windle Davis #108424369, William Douglas Highsmith #164992832 and Mary Francis Nidiffer #164992852. These are my great grandparents on my mom's side.

Glancing through all the documents, the earliest date I've seen so far is 1590, though official document date would be from the 1700's. And the earliest family tree chart date I've seen so far is 1584, though 1755 is the earliest confirmed chart date I've seen so far. Chart names with no dates looks like it goes back to the 1400's. On Find A Grave I found a family line that dates back to 1301. And on ancestry.com one of the lines goes back to about the year 1000, though I doubt its accuracy.

Note: if you have some of the same photos or copies that I do and you want to post them, please do not hesitate to upload them. I'll remove mine if I see that you've uploaded better versions. With some of the photos I also have better versions, some being originals. I'll repost photos with better versions as I have time and as I come across them. Also, if you see a photo or document that I've posted and you want me to post it on some other memorial, just let me know, but please give me clear directions.

The best way to experience any of my YouTube playlists is to do so on Safari, Firefox, Chrome, etc., not the app. Then search FrankATracy. And then tap on VIEW FULL PLAYLIST. You can also find me on Spotify by searching FrankATracy, then tap on Playlists. Or you can find me through the internet by googling "FrankATracy" in quotation marks, though not all are necessarily me. And if you do your homework, then you can also find me on Classmates.com (where I've posted 100+ photos and a long bio) and other social media. I'm 6'5" tall and 270 lbs., am half Mexican (though I do not speak Spanish) on my dad's side, and of course, European, as well as Cherokee and Shawnee Native American Indian on my mom's side.

On Spotify I have a playlist called - Songs to grieve to. Heartbreaking songs of great loss - My prayer would be that those songs would help you grieve over those you've lost.

Also, on YouTube I review all comments before they are posted, so if you want to leave me a message that no one else will see, feel free. And if I can help you here with our ancestry, I'll give it my best shot. Just send me a message through Find A Grave.

(Added 2/24/2023) Lastly, I'm hoping to buy a nice scanner one day so I can put together everything I have so I can email it to whoever requests a copy. I'm also hoping to one day make a video of the ancestry binder and post it on my YouTube channel for an even wider audience.

God bless you all and may Jesus gently take you by the hand as He brings you into His kingdom. Till we meet in His presence.
