Tom Keck & Bea Lorenz Heritage
Welcome to our family history website. I hope you will enjoy getting to know our roots and will be inspired to carry on the rich tradition which our folks have given all of us. Whether you call Tom and Bea "Dad and Mom," or "Grandpa and Grandma," or something else, know that they were special and considered all of their offspring very special.
These pages contain only a small part of their story and links to their (our) ancestors. I invite you to learn about them all and learn from them. Their strong family values must be a cause for us to celebrate them, a source of our strength, and an example for us to imitate.
The material presented on these pages is the result of many years research by many members of our family. I wish to especially acknowledge the contributions of my late uncle, John Keck, and my sister-in-law, Louanne Rakers Keck. Their work and that of many others make it possible to publish our family's history here.
And I also invite you to collaborate in this research and family history publication. Contact me for details. Please send me your stories, photos, data, etc. and I will add them as far as space allows. This material and much more is also available in printed and electronic format. Just let me know what you would like.
