Reneau family history has been researched and scrutinized for over a century, and much good information has been gathered. This blog is an attempt to pull together all of the primary source records that exist for the early generations who came to America, and perhaps eventually reaching back beyond that.
Who am I and why do I care? I have a lot of Reneau DNA in my make-up: my great-grandmother was a Reneau, and in her lines there is an inordinate amount of Reneau DNA as there were a lot of cousin marriages keeping the DNA strong (there were 13 Reneaus in the 7 generations that preceded her). This is not really about DNA though, but about finding out more of who they were and how they lived and loved.
For the past twenty-one years I have lived near the area that was originally settled by Lewis Reynaud, and I know it well. I have made half-hearted attempts in the past to find out more about these events in the history of colonial America. But with small push--being asked by my church to become a family history consultant for our local members--I have taken this on in a more serious fashion.
I hope to post the things I have found on a regular basis and have this be a repository for Reneau records.
