A genealogical research website

I must say that this is my favorite section of the website. Here, you will find that our Jennette line is one of a very rich lighthouse heritage. From Devaney Farrow Jennette, who died in the watch room of the Cape Fear Lighthouse, to his first cousin, Unaka B. Jennette, who was the famed last lighthouse keeper at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. And there are many others who have left a legacy that will hopefully be passed on for generations to come.
