The Cloud Family history shown on this site is made up of other peoples contributions combined with a small amount of my input. The people who made contributions to this history were:

     Ann (McCoy) Haupt, Nancy (McCoy) Tritschler, Lois (Cloud) White, Johnny Cloud , Ed and Terri Cloud, and Katie Ruth (Cloud) Morrow all supplied information.

McCracken, Thomas Maxwell Potts, Robert P. Cole, Anne Morris Mertz, Sherrill Cloud, Harry Hogan and others. Anyone interested in joining the Association can do so by sending the $25 yearly dues to:
