I have been looking for the following.  I can't locate anything on Earl Denson or wife Mary Margaret Thaxton.  They are my ggrandparents.  My Aunt Virginia had  done very little research and this is all I have on the family.  Where do I go from here? 

 

The site is great for info but don't know where to add mine, etc.

 

Thank you,
