I am new to all of this. I came across another Joyce Tackett and was amazed anyone else had the same name...ha ha. I am the 4th daughter of Mr. Henry A. Tackett and his wife of 60 plus years, Virginia Turner Tackett from Dallas, TX. His parents were Louis and Leuna Tackett from Ft. Worth, Texas. They had six children....Louis, Charles, Henry, Laura, Ombra and Margaret. All but Louis had children. We have a big Tackett Reunion each June in New Braunfels, TX. The family descendents came from Tennessee, I believe. My father, Henry Tackett fought in WWII...a Navy man. He is now 87 years young and full of vim and vigor. The Tackett's are a WONDERFUL family. I do believe this line of Tackett's (or at least the Tackett name) will die out with my generation....all girls. Sad. My father is loaded with the family history and family tree information.

I am looking up my Tackett side of the family. My Blevins side will end with my Brother he had no sons. I would like to know if we are related I have my Tackett side all the way to France. Maybe we can share information. Tammy Blevins-grannymimmie
