Al Fenn's Home Page

These are ancesters I am researching. All help would be appreciated. Thanks. These people migrated down through WV, GA, and into Texas, beginning in the early 1600s.

You will find GedCom files in the GedCom section below for each of these lines. I would appreciate any corrections or additions that you might have. Please e-mail to me.

I would like to give the "lion's share" of credit for this work to my sister Pauline Fenn-Phillips Mrs C D Morrison. She did most of the work and I typed 'with all the typos'.
