The Family Tree shown on this site is a very abbreviated Tree.
 
There are many reason why one should know their ancestral past as there are many 
reasons why individuals pursue the practice of genealogy. Of all the most compelling 
is the need for one to find their place in the scheme of humanity. It is a propensity 
of our species to give foundation to their being and establish the roots to all the 
hundreds to thousands of persons that have come before them to place  the composite of 
their existence in the family gene pool. 

The history of all the genealogies given on this web site is rich with men that were 
soldiers, farmers, craftsmen, businessmen, professionals, and dreamers.  It is filled 
with the lives of women who nourished their children, whom were the center of the home 
life and supported  their husbands through good or bad times. A history of life borne 
with the dignity that has been passed to those of us who bear these family names as 
their bloodline. 

If you are pursuing your genealogical search my wish is that the data, stories, and 
links offered in this site will be useful to you. Should you have something to add you 
are welcome to do so through email. Visit with our pleasure of sharing our families 
with you. I sincerely hope that your journey into your ancestral past is as rewarding 
an experience as the discovery that is documented on this web site. Thanks for 
stopping by.

Y'all come back now.
