The Lucas Family Tree

For different reasons people come to me and ask me for family tree information.  After many requests, I have decided to post part of my Lucas family tree online.  This is only a small part of what I have.  For privacy reasons, I didn't think I should post our current generation.  I gathered my information from various sources, so it isn't gurranteed to be free of errors. Pictured is my grandfather Floyd Lucas, son of Edward James Campbell Lucas.
