Hi William.
I am sure your family of origin is traceable much further back than your father's generation. You shold be able to easily find your grandfather, and his parents, and maybe a lot more once you start searching, using the traditional tools of genealogy, working through birth deat marriage records, Hopefully someone in the southern USA can point you in the right direction.
There is an additional tool to help, less specific, but very scientific, and thats Genealogy by DNA. The good news is that its right there in Texas, in Houston. Have a look at the Chisholm DNA project being run through Family Tree DNA. This project wont give you any names but it will tell you if you are related to various other lines of Chisholm, Chisum, and Chism , who have spread through the south of the USA. There are at least 4 distinct genetic lines of Southern Chisholms/Chsums/Chisms , in the project database.
The Y-DNA project is only suitable to track the male ancestral line, and by joining a group project you can do the test at a discounted price.
rregards
Robert Chisholm
