My name is John Gray and my great-grandfather was William Francis Hann. I don't know much about him since he died many years before my birth.

My grandmother was his daughter, Laurena Elizabeth. She died in November 2001. And I now find myself hungry for information about the family, the town of Hanston and the history of my family that I can pass down to my children -- now 12, 8 and 7.

Please respond to me directly here or to my E-mail account, jdg40203@bellsouth.net

Any information about the family, pictures of the town from the early 1900's, information about the store my great-grandfather ran, etc. are all welcome.

Regards,
John
