Hello all,

I'm looking for my paternal great grandfather. My father told me before he died that he believed my great grandfather's name was Charles or Charlie Corley. My dad believed he was white/European or mixed with white/European and that he was born in Tennessee, USA. My grandfather(my father's father) was born in 1888 and had older siblings so I believe my great grandfather could have been born in the 1850s or 1860s.

I'm also looking for my paternal great grandmother but I know next to nothing about her. My father said that her name might have been Isabelle but he wasn't sure. I assume my great grandmother was full blooded African American/black or at least part black/African American.

My grandfather's name is Silas Corley and he was born in 1888. He had three sisters(I believe) and there names are Ruby, Kate, and Pearl. I know many of his siblings lived their lives as white/European people.

Thanks for any help you can give.
