These pages were produced on Wed Jun 14, 2000. The pages will be updated as significant information is obtained. All the information found here is the combined research of several family members and is a starting point for ancestral Arrington genealogy research. Persons born or married after 1940 have been labeled with a "LIVING" designation to help protect the security of their information, and may, or may not, actually be alive today! This should not pose a problem for the "ancestral" reseach this database is presented for. Not all data is confirmed and some mistakes may exist. Please send an email if you have additional information, or corrections, for this database.
