It's All About Our Family

Is member US297 Christina Mollineaux Witcher's website and families. Information on the descendants of James Mollineaux Sr., born 15 April 1811 in England, and Esther A. Lang, born 13 May 1812 in England. Site includes historical pictures, documents and a detailed descendant report for James and Esther.

There is also a wonderful story, "Our Mollineaux Ancestors" by Buddy Beck. Twenty-five page history written by a son of Lelia Mae Mollineaux (1902-1988). I hesitate to give away the ending, but I really enjoyed the last few lines:

"Unless I decide to write more, this is THE END!

"You never know, I have told the undertaker not to close the lid on me until they are blamed sure that I am dead because I might have something else to say."
