Hello!

I have been told that some of the Traffelstead/Travelstadt families
changed their surname to TRAVIS?
My TRAVIS family was in Jefferson, Hamblen and Grainger Counties of TN. by
at least 1820. As I can't seem to get out of TN., I am hoping that someone
on this list might have info since Catawba Co., NC. is not far from eastern
TN. Here is my info and THANKS!

The URL to my TRAVIS Family Homepage is

If you fit into any of these "branches" OR have legal records, newspaper
clippings of marriages, obits or births, pictures, stories or other
information involving any of the families listed above, then PLEASE contact
me! I have many "holes" left to fill in AND there is always another "twig"
left on the family tree for a new "cousin"!
