my grandmother was a fedric and her father was a doctor. they are aburied in an old cemetery near cascilla, ms., poplar springs cemetery. my grandfather was a GROCE. I NEVER KNEW HER, BUT JUST KNOW THE FEDRICS ARE A PROMINENT FAMILY AND THE LAST ONE I KNEW ABOUT WAS A FEDRIC IN GRENADA, MS., MY BROTHER KNEW HIM. I THINK THERE ARE SOME OF THESE IN JACKSON, MS.

My name is Steve Fedric. I'm US civil service in Germany, but I was born in the Texas Panhandle (Stratford/Dumas). I've heard the name Turnipseed mentioned before in my childhood. Relatives in Stratford have traced our ansestry to Pierre Fedric (a carpenter), immigrant from France, early 19th century (his offspring orphaned when he was killed by a falling tree in Viginia). His son left his adoptive parents and followed path like that in your post. Grandad Byron Fedric (Great Grandad Samuel fedric, I think) came up from Mississippi early 20th century to the Panhandle. Are we related?

I am somewhat late to the board ... having joined ancestry.com very recently.

I'm another from the Tunnipseed/Fedric line ... via my mother, Harriette Henri Fedric (now deceased) ... her father, Daniel Scott Fedric ... his father, (from census records) John Booker (Ike) Fedric ... the son of Radford Jones Fedric & Emma Melton Turnipseed.
