 Welcome to my website. It will always be changing, so visit back often.

My ancestors have been in Appalachia for many years, and in tracing them I have found a lot of interesting and sometimes unusual situations.  One of these situations is when a lady at Stony Creek Church described a group of people as “melungin.”

 Through the years I have learned much about the Melungeons from the descendants of the families who were classified Melungeon, including my own Goins and Minor family. 

 What I have enjoyed most of all is backtracking these pioneer families from the Clinch River at Blackwater, Tennessee to the many places they lived during their incredible migration journey, so I have named this web site as the place to share “my incredible research journey.”

As the Hawkins County Tennessee Archivist, I want to share the progress of our volunteer organization "Friends Of The Hawkins County Archive Project" as we work the old Circuit, Chancery and County Court loose records 1795-1930, an ongoing work in progress.  Our goal is to form a county Archive and Research Center.   

 My research is a search for the truth and sometimes the truth is sad and unpleasant, but wherever this journey leads me, I’ll share it, so come and go with me on this journey.
