McGehee-Aiken Family

Family History Project

While many have been gathering family history items (photos, stories, recordings, documents, etc.) over the decades and generations, we are now trying to make much of that available to other family members via this website. This is a new website and we expect to grow the family history information in the short term and on going.

If you have updates, photos, or family history stories or bios, please send them in. There are paper forms that you can ask for that help you provide the information needed. There is also a new website input form, the Family Member History update form, that many will find more convenient. Please enter your family information and also provide updated photos and updated biographical information. Please contact Ron if you have questions or want to provide additional information, photos, and stories.

FAMILY NAMES

If you go back to the mid-1800’s, we focus on the McGehee and Aiken families, specifically James Hiram McGehee married Josephine Carolyn Aiken. Their children and grandchildren married into yet other families: Stark, Burns, Nichols, Hamilton, Kennedy, Gautier, Yates, Snow, Simms, Croxen, Rickman, Hardin, Bell, Stevanus, Hopper. The next generations have added many other surnames to our family tree.

There was a bit of England, Scotland, Ireland, and Germany in the family at this point in the mid-1800s and most came from families that came to America in the late 1600’s. Chances are you might not have the surname of McGehee, or Aiken, but your ancestors did! This site has books, references, history, stories, genealogy, obituaries, photo archive, and other interesting family history information.
