I retired in 1995, after 33 years employee, as a Construction Engineer for THE SOUTHLAND CORPORATION dba 7-Elleven Food Stores. I was in the Construction/Development section of the company. I provided Planning, Architectural, Permits, Contract, and Construction management in the 10 West Coast States of United States. Created "Start-Up" companies in 1968 Van Couver, B.C., 1971 Tokio, Japan; 1974 Melbourne, Australia; 1980 Monterey, Mexico. My lifetime achievement with 7-Eleven is that I open some 2,704 stores/projects.

My mother got me started in genealogy in 1973, when she ask me to help her organize the tons of bits and pieces of information she had all over the house, stored in shoe boxes, to milk crates. Most of the information was on her family the WILSONS and the DUNCANS We knew nothing on the SARRETT other than my Grandfather HUGH SARRETT, who died in 1954.

Since 1983 I have amassed more SARRATT/SARRETT/SURRATT genealogy, history than I ever dreamed possible on the many lines across the country, and always stand ready to help others looking for their SARRATT roots.
