How To Submit Information

Compose your information in an email or letter. You can use the Interview Questions form as guide on what to write. For family informaton fill out one or more Family Group sheets or Ancestral Charts.

Then send the information to us. The best way is to email your information to either:

mclee-at-murrah-dot-com

You will need to copy this address into your email program, replacing "-at-" with the "@" symbol and "-dot-" with a period ("."). The address is listed in this way to prevent the address from being harvested by spammers.

You can send documents as email attachments. If you have photos or paper documents, you can scan them for emailing.

You can send information and photos by mail to:

M. Lee Murrah
4056 Three Oaks Blvd., Apt 3A
Troy, MI 48098

I will be moving to Riverside, Texas about January 1, 2008. So please call or email if you want to send something after that date.

If you send original photos or documents, I will scan them and return them to you promptly.

I can be reached by telephone at 936-355-6111.
