If you are a McGriff you are part of a unique family.
Based on the most current research, all the McGriff's in America can trace their roots back to a single
ancestor, John McGriff, who may have been in Halifax County, Virginia as early as 1754.
With the help of many dedicated people we now can present a complete picture of
a vibrant and truly American family whose stories, struggles and achievements provide an up close and personal view of
history as it was actually experienced by our grandfathers and great grandfathers.
The story of John McGriff and his five sons is one of true pioneer spirit and is
as facinating as any book or movie. They fought for their country in the Revolutionary War and survived to raise families
whose descendents are now spread out over the entire United States.
This site is the culmanation of many, many years of research by many people. Over the coming weeks
and months, a group of volunteers will be creating this central family resource by leveraging and exposing research
that was collected through the work and commitment of at least two generations of geneologists.
