Hello all Morelocks! I am Mike Morelock...now living in
Kansas City, Missouri...originally from Pensacola,
Florida. A remarkable man, Jim
Morelock, lives in St. Joseph,
Missouri. I met him years ago and he has spent a lifetime researching and listing the lineage of Morelocks from the mid-1600's to the present. Words cannot describe the work he has done...I have a feeling that he probably has documents on every branch of the family. He is very computer literate, obviously, and it has all been carefully saved on hard drive as well as in print. Each year he sponsers a
Morelock family reunion in Topeka,
Kansas just a short 70 miles from here...it's in September. I think all Morelocks (after, say, 1750) have come out of East
Tennessee. My Father
Ober Morelock and his brother and teo sisters were from the Fall Branch/Church Hill/Kingsport area...My Grandparents are buried in Fall Branch. Morelock is definately of
German origin...I have been to the Stutgart area in southern Germany(Swabia) and have seen many Morelocks in the telephone book...commonly spelled
Morlock or Morlok over there. I am a disc jockey here in
Kansas City. I have Jim's e-mail address somewhere...if you care to write this extraordinary man, I shall be glad to find it and foward it to you. By the way...my Aunt Alta Morelock...married to my Father's brother
Verden Morelock..will be 93 this year...she lives in
Columbus,
Georgia. My own Father, sadly passed away at the young age of 40...back in 1954. Good luck, and would welcme replys from any of you...Mike
