Arnett Forest
tracks...trails...clearings

Welcome

This site features some scouting guides to assist those cousins who are searching for their family trees in our Arnett Forest in America.

There are Tracks which consist of data arranged more or less chronologically by state and county. This collection is but a small portion of the data available (especially if one digs through all the county deeds) and is aimed to suggest areas for further research. A rough index is available for each state or groups of states.

Some of the tracks have led to the creation of Trails through the woods which are the pedigrees of certain family groups. Where enough data has been collected some of these tentative pedigrees are being listed. There are many folk who have helped to blaze these trails and who continue to maintain them. They'll be listed as permitted.

Finally, there are the Clearings. These are the open spaces where we can appreciate the view of the trees and enjoy the family stories. These are most evident in the records persons have left us in the form of memoirs and biographical sketches. And there are also the stories of our origins in France, Germany, Scotland, Ireland, England, etc.. Some of these will be presented here.

As time permits more guides will be added to the lists which follow. This is a work in progress, and I welcome additional information about early Arnett names and facts, further delineation and correction of pedigrees, and additional family stories and links to other internet sites. Additions to the tracks section will be collected separately and periodically folded into the main group. You may contact me as you wish, but I can't guarantee a timely response.

Happy hiking!

TRAILS

These family groupings are listed in no particular order, and, though may of the trails or pedigrees have been worked out, not all have been uploaded. I've made an attempt to avoid listing living descendants in the trees, but will make links to existing online related family sites.
There are also "Trail Letters" which are family stories about the origins of the pioneers and "Trail Connections" which is a collection of Arnett related websites by State and topic and a listing of some researchers.
Trail Letters Collection of traditional stories

Trail Connections Arnett related websites and names of researchers

CLEARINGS

Some of these have been noted in the Trail or Tracks sections but are listed here as well for greater appreciation. They are arranged by first name. Not all have been uploaded.
