Welcome t o Texas  & Renee's Family Genealogy

This page was last updated on Friday, December 17, 2010

Hi, I am Renee Pierce Smelley.  Welcome to my home on the web.  I have been working on our family tree since January 1999.  I was very fortunate to have had family members that had worked on different branches of my family tree to get me started.  My genealogy file is my interpretation only and may not reflect the same data as other files.  I am open to comments, suggestions and corrections about my family tree.   

I believe in "Protecting the Living" and all people in my file born after 1915 without a death date are considered to be living, so they are listed as "Living SURNAME."  You will not find any information about that person. 

I am willing to share and exchange, but I do not share my "Living Relatives" information.  When you receive a genealogy report from me the endnotes with the sources listed are in tack, so you can note all my sources for each data entry.  Many sources are from exchanging information with others, so do your own research to prove or disprove the information, as I am sure that I have errors in my file.    

Thank you for the visit and if you have any questions use the options below to contact with me.  While you are visiting please sign my guest book.
