Here are some links to Family Home pages that have helped me in my research.

C. Ray Tankersley (Tankersley, Grant, Surname History): C. Ray Tankersley has done extensive research on the history of the Tankersley name. He has pictures of the Parish and a lot of historical information.
Emmett Fontaine (Fontaine, Boursiquot, Chaillon): Emmett Fontaine has done research on the Fontaine line. Fontaine comes into the Tankersley line immediately after the immigration to the United States. Richard Tankersley married Elizabeth Fountain (Fontaine) who was born in 1717 in Ireland.
Official Website of the Cherokee: This is the Official Website for the Cherokee Nation. There are many helpful links for the Cherokee People, in genealogy research, housing, education, history, and much, much more. Please explore this site and learn about the heritage and culture.
Robert Zidlicky (Tullos, May, Tankersley): Robert Zidlicky has done immense research on the Tullos and May lines. The May line enters the Tankersley line a few generations back. James Fountain Tankersley (my great great grandfather) married Nancy Angeline May (my great great grandmother), who was the daughter of William May and Nancy Tullos.
James R. Hicks (Hicks Family Lineage): James R Hicks has done extensive research on the Hicks family lineage. The Hicks family comes in on the Grant family line.
Kenneth Wells (Descendants of Benjamin Weekes): Kenneth Wells has done research on the Weekes family also, that ties into the Hicks family. Thankful Weekes married Thomas Weekes.
Janice Tharp (Descendants of James Grant): Janice has done research on the Descendants of James Grant. This Grant line comes in on my Grandfather's Native American side. THis is the line that goes into the Emory's and others.

Belinda Hughes (Tankersley, Thornhill): Belinda Hughes has done reasearch on the Thornhill line, which like the pre-1500 Tankersley line, was a difficult one.
Sarah M. White (Parker, Gaines, Green): Sarah White had done extensive research on the Parker, Gaines, Green, and many other lines. Her site has several pictures of family members and a wealth of information including sources and other links to helpful sites.
GenCircles: Gencircles has a neat feature called Smart Match that allows you to upload your GEDCOM file to theirs and they automatically compare your files to everyone else's that has been loaded onto their site. They in turn send you a list of links to everyone that has the same names as you do. It saves a lot of search time and has gotten me in touch with many relatives that I would have never found otherwise. I highly recommend this site.
Rootsweb: Rootsweb is a very widely used general genealogy site. It contains a search engine that can put you in touch with many other sites and searches. Also, it has a place for you to submit your GEDCOM so that others can search your files and contact you if there is a match. It also has a link to the Social Security Death Index as well as many others, including European searches. You can find my entire GEDCOM that I submitted on this site as well as others.

A special Thanks to all of my family and friends for all of the help. There is a lot of time and personal effort and pains that has gone into the finding of this information.
