| William Moore Criswell and Mary Ann Evans Criswell |
Second great-grandparents are ideal for genealogy research. Some vital records and census data usually exist for them. I have found marriage licenses, census records, a few birth records, directories, newspaper articles, and so much more! And even though they all were born between 1793 and 1850, I have photos of six of them.

My paternal second great-grandparents include the following, along with one unknown second great-grandmother:
William Moore Criswell and Mary Ann EvansPeter Albritton and Hollon (last name unknown)
Reddick Bryan and Elizabeth Span Regan Bryan
Five of my second great-grandparents are still a mystery to me. But each blank spot on my tree is a reminder that the search is never really over. How many of your 16 can you name?
