Marty and Karla Grant
Welcome to our web site. My
name is Marty Grant. I created this website to share my documented genealogical
research, free of charge, with all who are interested.
This site is always a work in
progress. It was established in 1998, and will never be completed, for
what genealogy is ever finished? There are
currently over 2,500 unique pages and the entire site gets over a million hits per year. I am very proud of that, but also humbled
by it. The site has grown to the point where it is quite the behemoth. I have great difficulty
maintaining it, but I'm doing the best I can. It takes a very long time to
make changes and corrections, so be patient with me.
I have written
several books on various subjects of
genealogical interest. Check them out. You can help support this site by buying one or
more of those books or by clicking on one of the banner ads and buying
something. This site is 100% free to use,
however I do accept donations. They are
not required, but are appreciated.
My roots are mainly in the Southern
and Eastern United States: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Virginia (and other states to a lesser
extent.) The vast majority of my ancestors originated in Great Britain
(mainly Scotland and England). I also have a number of ancestors from
Germany. My wife Karla has ancestry in the same states as I, but
also: New York, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, North and South
Dakota, Nebraska and other western states. Most of her ancestry is of
German origin. I do all the genealogy work but keep her informed of any
interesting findings on her ancestry. Currently I don't have any of her
ancestry online.
I certainly appreciate all the
patronage and feedback I get. I regret that
I get far too much e-mail for one person to ever answer, but please feel
free to write me and I'll try to get back with
you as quick as possible.
I also have web pages devoted to
Christian subjects including various resources and
links regarding my faith. Our local church is Kinston
Baptist Temple.
If your church needs
Church Management Software,
check out ours. It was designed to be easy to use, yet powerful at the
same time. With it churches can track their membership, contributions and much more. Check it out if
interested.
