The Ledbetter Family Page

Welcome to the Ledbetter Tree, just one of the trees in my family forest. I hope you find something of interest here. If we have "crossed branches" please let me know. I'm always thrilled to find a new cousin!

I've started this page with the "oldest" branch and worked my way down to the twigs. Please be aware that there are some branches without leaves as this is still a work in progress<grin>. In the interest of privacy and security, I have omitted some personal infomation of those still living. Should you find that you have a connection, please contact me and I will be happy to add what I can.

I have always been happy to share what information I have with others and will continue to do so. All I ask is that you give credit where credit is due, to either myself or the other wonderful folks who were kind enough to share their information with me.
