Our families come from Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia and dates back to 1895 in Kansas.   We also came from Austria, Ireland, Scotland, Hungary, Germany, and England. Traditionally, the last name can tell a lot about your heritage.  The last name often told where you came from and the class of your family.  We haven’t kept that tradition; and so it isn’t as easy to tell much about a person from their last name these days.

Millen Family

 

Our research has only just begun. We continue to research our Genealogy Information, which is not complete and may not be 100% accurate as yet. We are currently trying to figure out who is in the photograph taken at Yale University during the 1860s.  I believe it has to either be some of the Millen or possible the John Brown family.  The Millen family has been very difficult to trace.  Because Mabel Millen married our Frank Gaige Burwell, was divorced and then married Fred Pettit.  It was even more difficult, because Frank's parents had also divorced, and the wife apparently had to hide out and move from state to state with Frank or "Gaige" as he was sometimes noted in records. So, it was hard finding these individuals. Our Ancestors came to America to find the great promise of freedom.

Our Family loves to make memories together and save them in our hearts forever

Photographs are a way to capture memories and save them in our hearts, so we can bring those memories alive forever.  Photos give you a peek into yesterday.  They are of times gone by.  They bring back memories, some good some we wish we could forget.  But, they are all memories; which do help us remember our past so that we can live in the present and work to a better future for tomorrow.

Preserving Memories of family times forever
