I recently go back into researching my family line. My maiden name is Rutledge. I am researching these family names: Rutledge, Roarke, Thompson, Manes (Maness), Clark, Martin and Helton.

I am a writer and enjoy history. I was blessed by my dad's stories about his family which undoubtedly fueled my interest in my family's history.
