This website is dedicated to my family and all the allied families that make 
up a part of our family.  This website is here for the purpose to keep a 
record of where we came from as a family and to help others in their search 
for their roots. The sources of my family tree has been provided by many 
family members, internet researchers and official records.  Please let me know 
if you find any errors.  I am glad to share any information you may find 
here.  I am always on the look out for more family photos, please contact me 
if you have photos of any of these folks you would like to share.
Many people have shared their information and their research as well as photos 
to me for my records.  I would like to mention some of them whose help has 
been extraordinary.

There are many more whose help I appreciate so much in helping me create this 
tapestry that makes up our family. I especially want to thank Veta Longress 
for allowing me to scan her family photos of the Rice family. Also Frances Ahl 
who has let me go through all of her family photos and make copies. So many 
have sent me photos, and I regard this as a family effort.  I think it is 
important to put a face with a name if possible. To document our family for 
future generations to be able to see who and where they came from will show 
them our pride in our family and also that we were thinking of them long 
before they came to be.
