Reconnecting Family
By Tracing Lineage
I’m Leonard Mixon.
Welcome to the journey of discovering your roots. If you’ve ever looked at yourself in the mirror and wondered where you came from, you are in the right place.
This site is all about family and genealogy. We all come from a long line of people who lived and laughed just like us, even if you’ve never met them.
Besides being the site to host our Winters-Scales Family Reunion activities, there are also blogs on all types of relevant topics. Our goal is to reconnect with family and discover those past and those present.
It’s a source of exploration and encouragement to help you find the answers and lineage you’ve always wondered about to the style and likes of Alex Haley and Henry Louis Gates Jr of Finding Your Roots.

Maternally, I descend from the Winters, Scales, Yarborough, (Gee), Charles, and Spillers. What about you?
It's about The Cousins! It's About You!
Genealogy is more than just the discovery of the names of our ancestors that have passed on. What about their descendants? You might know a few of them, but chances are high that you have cousins you’ve probably never heard of, or met.
This site and events like our Family Reunions are here to change that! There are cousins and maybe even close family waiting to be discovered. They might be looking for you like you are looking for them.
Don’t quite realize how you connect? We don’t want anyone to feel left out. So it’s ok even if you don’t know your biological family. We can help you discover where you come from.
