Help, Guidance, Advice, Anything

I am looking for the same family line. I have hit the same dead ends. I live on the East Coast and cannot get there to search.

My husband is the son of Floyd, grandson of Mayo and Lena. He has fond memories of his grandparents. I will be glad to share some of his stories and a picture of Lena. I would love to find a picture of Mayo.
