In Laws, Out Laws and In Between

Howdy! Yep, here we are - hurling along on this big blue orb, our feet firmly planted now in this new millenium mostly without any clue of who we really are. For that matter, we don`t really know from whom or from whence we came.

Oh sure, we all know who Mom and Dad are (or who they`d like us to believe they are anyway), and most of us were fairly close to the grandparents, but what we really want to know is "What in the heck is this family all about?" What makes us different from all the rest of these people we have to share this planet with? (They won`t go away, so it looks like we`re stuck with them.) What is it that really sets us apart?

Well friends, I`ll tell you. It`s what makes the average guy on the street stop and say, "Hmmmm...Well would ya look at that...now that's somethin'."

It`s what makes that one pup in the litter stand out just a little bit more.

It`s what makes that one rose on the bush just a little more eye catching than the others.

Friends, I`ve pondered this subject for a long time. I`ve spent many a long night agonizing over this question. It finally came to me...

Like a bolt out of the blue... it's just natural good breeding...just natural good looks. That`s what sets this family of ours apart.

You might say it`s just our burden to bear.

And to protect those of us still living, only the names appear. You won't be seeing the cute naked baby photos or see birth dates and place names. Sorry, but with natural good looks like this family has, we've got to set some rules.

If you think that each and every little word on this site is the gospel truth, then you'd better turn around and head outta here right now. What is here is true to the best of my knowledge. My dad and his mother did all of this work, but didn't have the sources identified. I have not checked out every single fact myself, and that's my plan of attack (besides trying to keep the website looking good.) Please accept all genealogical information as speculative until you have actually proved and documented each fact yourself.

This is an old quilt embroidered with family names. Unfortunately the names are not from my family.

If you find an error, or want to share more information I'd be grateful if you used the online form to send it to me. Just enter the family that needs correcting or adding to with the new information and I'll merge them together. If the person is still living, it ain't gonna show up but I'll be sure to enter it into my database. Thanks a bunch. There's a link to the form at the bottom of each page.
