BRAMLETTs in MISSISSIPPI | Genealogy Forums | Forum

I am continually hitting a dead end with researching my mother's father's family.  His name is M.C. Bramlett, he was born in 1936 in Clarksdale, MS.  The problem I'm having is that he was the product of an affair.  His mom was married, her name was either Annie Williams or Brown (not sure which is married and which is maiden).  The father's name was either Joe David or David Joe Bramlett.  She gave my grandpa this guy's last name and raised him.  I also know that her parents were sharecroppers, and I'm pretty sure that she and her husband were, too.  I know that M.C. had half-siblings, at least one sister, Annie, that I know of.  Eventually he, and then his family moved from Clarksdale, MS to the Indianapolis, IN area.  He eventually joined the air force, moved to Europe and never came back again, dying in Germany in 2001.  I know very little about his family, because he never spoke of them, and I have only talked to him twice in my entire life.  I know this is uncomfortable, but if anyone can tell me anything about the Bramletts in Clarksdale, MS, I would really appreciate it.  Thank you!
