Welcome to Root Diggers!

  While you will find many family names in our genealogy tree, the main lines are Pitts, Green, Horn, Sheppard, Gray, Nix, McRae, and McKleroy  
 

After many years of research, this site was started by my Dad in 2000.  With the help of my sister Tina, the site has been redesigned and will hopefully grow in the years to come.  Feel free to contact me with questions or information.

 
  Our goal is to obtain more information on the family members we already have in our ancestry and to extend it as far back as we possibly can. We will not place any new family member in the tree without clearly verifying the accuracy of the information.
