McGinnis, Brandt, SmithannaOur Direct Lines
When one begins the search for one's roots, there are usually at least four surnames to help one get started. Then as one moves back in time the number of names grows and grows. Sometimes one can go far enough back that surnames from one line appear in another line and the speculation starts one wondering if way back somewhere the family lines are all mixed up together.
We have found that we do have common surnames in several lines that we wonder about. Some of these common names are Reed, Hoyt, Bell, and Gorman.
Here are the main surnames in our Direct lines. Where photographs are available a link is provided. The entries in our Direct lines can be reached through the Surnames and Individuals links. Links to broader compilations for each surname are given after the base surname.

As with all other compilations that I present, I make no claims as to authenticity. Other than that of my direct line, I have no proof of any data. While some of it seems plausible, I leave the responsibility of proving the truth to each person. I have source document originals and copies of some data and will gladly mail copies of these to interested individuals. When a seeming connection is made, I urge each to start digging for the real, positive, and tangible records that will make that connection reality and not mere speculation.
