Settled by varied groups of people from disparate nations, the American South is home to a number of prominent families. Combining narrative history with genealogy, this database is a listing of many families who helped settle the South. Many entries often include the location in England where the family came from, land grants, lines of descent, and often occupation. In addition to these helpful records, it includes biographical sketches for over 20,000 men and women. For those Ancestry.com patrons seeking ancestors from notable families in Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Alabama, this can be a valuable source of information.
