Red Clay Legacies is a project led by Mell Fisher, who believes that preserving the ancestry of others is her calling. Mell is an Ohio resident with family roots in Pikeville, Bledsoe County Tn., Muscogee and Harris County Ga, and Pemiscot, Mo. She grew up listening to her grandparents’ stories about their childhood and relatives. She felt like she had known them all her life despite the fact they never met. In 2013 after a tough breakup, Mell delved into her maternal family history, which led her to solve some family mysteries and investigate a rumored family murder plot. She unexpectedly found a new passion for family research and created Red Clay Legacies, becoming what is now known as a Genealogical Biographer. She builds family trees and creates reference books from those trees that will last generations. Mell has been featured in the Bledsonian-Banner newspaper and is a completely self-taught family researcher. Red Clay Legacies | family history research (authormellfisher.wixsite.com)
