The purpose of this site is to provide access to information about as many of my ancestors as possible, to encourage participation from cousins and to increase all of our understanding about the people who came before us.

It is initially focused on the following families: Pickel or Pickle, Bartlett, Broyles, Brown, Ingram and Holland, who came from South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi to Texas prior to the American Civil War, and in some cases, when Texas was still a part of Mexico.
