The following is a history report on the Myhand family (the maiden name of my father's mother). Only my direct lineage is shown; although, I do have some information on other Myhand branches, as well as more detailed information on my own line. I did not include this information here simply because of space constraints.
At the risk of leaving someone out, I must give a special THANK YOU to Ludy J. Crutcher, my 5th cousin, whom I found via the Internet and the Ardrew/Rootsweb. Thank you also to Clifton and Mary Elizabeth Sparks (again, relatives found via the "Net") for their invaluable assistance and information. If you see a name that you would like to know more about or read something you question, please contact me. I hope you enjoy reading about the Myhand Family name.
