I feel bad I had to call my brother in Tennesse to find out their names. I have not had any contact with that part of my family since birth. I never new them I dont eve have a picture of my Father. Anyway thier names are Franklin and Donald Rhyne. Thanks for your help I discovered this site by accident and I am not very good with computers.

Thanks for your help but I just found out from my sister in law that my dad was born in Lawton OK so I guess I had the wrong one. Told you I was not any good at this. But thanks for your help.

Alice,

I don't know why but I have missed your post (a number of times), just wanted to check to see if you found a copy of the books that you were looking for? Our kin for one.

Don Rhyne

Did find Our Kin but it was not the book I had been looking for. Cradle of the Carolinas was one of the books I have been searching for. I have been away from research for a while and am curious about what I might have requested. One was on the Scheibel family. I'll be away for a few weeks, but would like to compare notes/books/pictures with you. Thanks for the reply. More later. Alice

Dennis,

In looking at your post, I was surprised to see the names.

My great grandfather was born in the Gastonia area on November 01, 1869, and his name was William Franklin Rhyne.
