has 34 Maynors whose LR was Jackson County.

has 8 people surnamed Maynor whose BP was Jackson AL (You have to use "AL", not spell it out.) I didn't try Marriage or death place because I wanted you to have some of the fun.
You usually have to get back to the 1800's or very early 1900's before you find data about people on the Internetthe SSDI is an exception. If your dad got his three score and ten, he was born in 1916, which means his parents were born 1876 - 1900, probably. If you can find them, through a death certificate, cemetery records, SSN application or obituary, you would be well on your way.
There are forums devoted to Jackson County. If your family lived there for long, about half of them (the women) married into other families and had different surnames in the same county, so you might try there, too. Start here

and hunt around to get there. (Again, I want you to have some of the fun. There isn't much fun in having someone drop a trophy bass on your plate if you like to fish yourself. Better he tell you where to cast and let you catch it yourself.)
I'm not related. I didn't e-mail for reasons outlined on
