About A Branch of the Ellerbee Family
Interested in the Ellerbee Family Tree? Me too, that's why I began this project! The
information you will find here is a compilation of several years now and several
sources and is in no way even close to being finished! Thankfully, many cousins and
relatives have found this site already and contacted me and I seem to always have
more info to add! If you too are a cousin or relative, please contact me!!
I use ancestory.com to gather much of the info and am running a tree on there as
well since that helps me to gain even more info. If you would like to see that tree
as well, my user name is aimoore2007, please feel free to check it out as you may
find some stuff there that hasn't made it here yet and visa versa. This is a very
tedious and all-consuming job, so please be patient with me and if you have anything
to contribute, I will be more than happy to add it!
Speaking of things to contribute! There is a way to add stories to this site and I
would LOVE to gather stories from family about family. Maybe a Christmas memory you
have about your grandmother, or a day on the farm with your dad - whatever it is, I
would love to hear it and add it! Under Stories you will also find other information
mainly from Bobby Graham Ellerbee's book: " The Family History and Lineage of Mark
Ellerbee". Unfortunatly, for the time being, I do not have such a book for the
Hillsborough branch of Ellerbees who are descendants of John Ellerbee b. 1808 for
which I am a part of, but that is one reason for this research.
As you may notice, my parents both died when I was quite young. When this happened, I
lost contact with all of my Ellerbee side of the family and now I am compelled ( and
some say obsessed ) with finding them ALL! I am learning that this may take forever
as we have a HUGE family - and that's putting it mildly!! I did find my sisters in
January of 2007 - Wow! What a GREAT day that was!- and I have met and talked to many
more, but not all....YET!
Oh I must give a BIG thank you to my Georgia Cousin, Shelby Ellerbee who gave me a
book written by another Georgia Cousin, B.G. Ellerbee, on the Family of Mark Graham
Ellerbee. This book has proven to be invaluable and I still have TONS of people and
facts to add from this book!
There is also another book written by Ronald Ellerbe " The Ellerbe Family History ",
I do not have a copy of this book, but I thank those who have helped me out by using
their copies!
The ELLERBEE family is the best family in all the world. Sure, we have our quirks (
some of us quite a few ), we have our history ( we haven't always been the nicest or
most respected )and I'm sure we've had our enemies, but I wouldn't want to belong to
any other family! I look forward to hearing from and eventually meeting you all!
Please also check out the link for "The Ellerbee Family" this is set up by one of my
Georgia cousins ( Charles D. Ellerbee ) and is a GREAT resource for those of you in
that line.
