Quest in Genealogy
Our Research on both my Mother and Father's sides of the families, have caused us to criss cross the US from 1790 through 1930. We seem to faulter during the civil war years, also the loss of the 1890 census.

Hi Mareleigh
I am also tracing the Brister family and have about 40 names listed on my website. I am currently going through the census' to confirm what I can as I gathered most information from rootsweb world connect and LDS websites. I do have a Samuel H Brister in my files b. abt 1824 Mississippi. I hope this helps.Good luck in your search.
