The GEDCOM Tree database you see on this site contains family members that span from 1280 to today with migrations from England to VA, NC, SC, GA, AL, FL and TX. The primary tree is for JORDAN ancestors. The other major families are: Jackson, Simmons, Carroll and McLeod. The Jackson tree shows the lineage back to the Lumbee Indians in Robeson County, NC in the early 1700s (Hammons, Hammonds, Hammond). After clicking on the database link, be sure to give the database enough time to download. Press the letter f on your keyboard to get a full list of the people in the tree database.
