This site is a collection of information from research done from about 1963 to present time. My original intent was to find all the descendants of my late husband's immigrant great-grandfather, William Gregg. Since that time so many other related families have intermarried with the Greggs that I decided to include them also. The information is believed to be correct as I know it as of this update, however errors may be present un-intentionally. Please notify me by email of corrections and additions that you feel should be added. I have also researched my side of family, both my mother and father, so the Brown & Morrow families are recorded here. Keep in mind that only deceased members are published in this account. All others are recorded in my private files, If you have questions about living relatives, please contact me.
