Family Stories

My family history journey started with my parents and grandparents recounting stories at family gatherings and while traveling about the farm. I felt like I knew those people, even though they might have died many years before. Later I compiled pedigree charts and family group sheets, but the real connection was the stories.

While others were busy uploading genealogy data to online sites, I decided to share online the stories I had inherited so others could enjoy them. I hope you enjoy our Family Heritage Series stories, photos, and places.
