Answer 1

Grandfather, Elmer A. Forkner could be the best place to start the research. Do you know his birth year and marriage year? Can you say what state, county and or city was the location of his birth, and same question for his marriage. Would you have the name of his spouse?

Answer 2

Hi my grandfather was a Ford and trying to trace his family tree. Any info on your side would be good. Thanks

Answer 3

Paris, I have conducted research myself and I have most of our family tree traced back overseas.
