Looking for STAFFORD of Arkansas and Michigan
I've been trying to find out more about where my family came from and who is still around. I only have my Grandparents info to go by. Edward Stafford and his wife Lela (Izel) Stafford. Together they had 7 boys. Harold, Howard, Frank, Karl, Earnie, Eugene, Don. Don is my father. I know so far the only survivors are Eugene and Karl but I remember meeting cousins when I was really little. If anyone has a direction I can go in I'd appreciate it.

I'm always interested in the STAFFORD family because I have it on both sides of my family but mine came to Indiana from North Carolina and Tennessee. I saw these on familysearch.org, information you probably already have.

I'm researching Staffords, mine came to Indiana from Kentucky. My 2nd grt grandfather was Benjamin Stafford (1809-1884), born in Kentucky died in Indiana. He was married to Nancy Ann Page. His son, Henry stafford (1865-19220, my grt grandfather, moved to Sevier County, Ark. His wife was Alice West.
Hey Rachel, my name is Neal Stafford, son of Dean, son of Henry(Frank), son of Edward and Lela. That would make me your second cousin?
