Welcome to Our Family Heritage!

In God We Trust!!

America was founded by dreamers, men who carried the genes of kings, queens and saints in their blood. From many views of Faith, my Colonial ancestors were in favor of peace and harmony; but they sought freedom of religion and a life worth living, even if it meant fighting to defend their new way of life. If I had a vote I would have voted against war, but applaud the brave actions of our ancestors.

What amazes me is the young age of our founding fathers who were mostly in their twenties. But if it weren't for the young with their new way of looking at life, their new way of crafting the necessary things in day-to-day living, we might still be living in caves, eating bear and deer with our fingers, and scratching at lice worldwide. So, I say thank you to the brave young men who dreamed dreams.
