I saw your message in “Find a Grave”. Yes, I am connected to Violette Kennington Fortenberry. However, I am not the expert on the Fortenberry line…. that would be my sister, Adrianne Fortenberry Criminger. Our Mom and Dad started the research in the late 1970′s with Andie (Adrianne) working on details, facts, pictures and finally finishing up with “The Fortenberry Families of Southern Mississippi”. It was a huge undertaking and now that most of us “kids” are retired, we are kicking around the possibility of doing a second printing. Not sure about when just yet, but there is so much to work on!! Thanks for the message… looking forward to hearing from you……. Teresa
Hi Teresa,
I have emailed Adrianne in the past and asked about a second printing. I would most certainly buy a couple copies of a second printing as I don’t have a first printing. I am descended through this direct line.

Michael, I do have a copy of the book. Is there something I can look up for you? Colleen
Teresa, I have a copy of that book & it is fabulous. It was the first family history I ever read. It inspired me to research my family & made me dream of writing my own book!
I vote for a second book!
Colleen
I am having trouble proving the connection from Calvin Kennington Fortenberry 1806 to George Washington Fortenberry 12/30/1842 to Warren Henry Fortenberry 10/8/1876 through Oscar Underwood Fortenberry 5/14/1912. I have tried dna tests and the basic versions say I am not in the direct Fortenberry lines being researched. Is there something wrong with my progression?
Thanks,
Michael Ray Fortenberry
