Laura, I have the Fortenberry book you mentioned. Also the Fortenberry Family in Arkansas by John Fortenberry. I got to know Adrian who's daughter Adriane wrote the MS Fortenberry book. The Floydata group also has published a book and puts out an annual update. They have been meeting for well over 50 years.
Laura, Do you attend the Fortenberry Reunion held in Floydata each summer. It is only about 50 miles from you. Their ancestors go back and tie in with ours in the Carolina's Bobbie and I drove out and attended several years ago.. Had a great time. Great group of people. They have done a lot of research on the Fortenberry line. Bobby
