My Ancestors

I write a great deal of stories, lately I have been writing a number of stories about my ancestors.  Since they are all over the blog, I figured I would start a page that outlines some of them and their wonderful children, as I write about them.  I will continue to update this as I write stories.

Note: My direct ancestors are indicated by numbers.  The open bullet points indicate children or relatives I have written stories on that aren't my direct line.  I also have linked pertinent posts from this blog that relate to each family that directly impacted them, as well as articles I wrote on the platform HubPages that directly impacted them (Hubpages articles are noted).
