The internet has played a key role in our family history search.
From the huge files we gathered and stored we began to lose space to store them all, papers, birth and death certificates, what do we do with them all and how can we display them to our family and to future generations? It was decided to create a book, a book that we could show our research and what we had discovered, but as our research is an on going project and is continuing all the time with new facts and family lines added almost monthly the book would never be totally finished, No, we needed a way of showing what we had researched so far but also a way we could change and update that information regularly.
The Melton Family Web Pages were born.

It has taken years of research in getting the family tree this far,  we had to put the very complex jigsaw of our family tree together and that jigsaw still has pieces missing.  It is our hope that one day those pieces will turn up and fit into the puzzle of our family history.
The whole basis as to why this web site exists in the first place is to record what we believe to be the extremely important knowledge for our children and the children still to come of the history of their family.
I would like to thank Michelle Melton for her patience and  hard work in researching The Family Tree and also to you all for looking at our website and showing your interest.
