WELCOME

Every journey begins with a single step. When I took the first step of filling out a simple pedigree chart I had no idea that I had just begun a marvelous journey. As I gathered together names, dates and places from my box of scraps and copies of old, musty family group sheets, I turned to my computer to aid me in the search. Computers and their search engines are amazing! Stories about our ancestors began popping up all over. Growing up with a storytelling father, I always knew we had an interesting family. In fact, the art of storytelling seems to run in the family. The stories I found about these ancestors brought them to life for me. Finding stories on the internet was like putting together a very large and complicated jigsaw puzzle. My quest took me to many small communities and their museums and cemeteries. As I searched for missing pieces, the picture became clearer. I began to know and love these people. I am inspired by their faith, amazed by their endurance and humbled by their sacrifices. They were also not perfect. I extend to them the gift of compassion and understanding that they did the best they could with what they had and what they knew and believed. It is my hope that you will enjoy learning about our family and find inspiration in knowing who they were and understanding who you are.

The information presented here is well-documented for at least 3 generations beyond Coral & Percy and most often more.
