This seems to be a copy of some sort of Family Record, perhaps reproduced by the "Blueprint" process. There seems to be no separate page for the WHATLEY FAMILY. Variant word list: Word searches conducted by computer may produce disappointing results. Therefore, for each page, there will be a list like this of names with middle names omitted, maiden names and married names used, hyphenated words reconstructed, etc. Perhaps this strategy will help those people who are conducting searches on the Internet find who they are looking for on this page. It has already proven helpful to the HTML Editor. Daniel James Melvin, Daniel J. Melvin, Daniel Melvin George Washington Melvin, George W. Melvin, Geo. W. Melvin George Melvin, G.W.
