WELCOME TO OUR COLORFUL AND
DIVERSE FAMILY TREE!

Mission Statement
 

This website was created to share our
family history through, stories, memories,
photos and collected information. For the
past sixteen years, my sister and I have
been researching our family history, our
cousin Jeanne has been collecting family
history for longer than that. We have
been the family 'griots'.

From the past to the present, our journey
has taken us to places near and far,
On a quest to gain insight of how we came
to be who we are,
From Mexico, France and Africa they came,
some by choice, others by chain.

Our goal is to continue to capture, preserve
and share our family history. For history not
shared - is history lost.

This website is continually being updated,
so check back frequently!

Griot: (pronounced gree-oh)
A West African tradition passed down
through many generations by which a
designated clansman functions as an
oral historian for the tribe. The griot
often recites ancestral history through
poetry, music and story-storytelling.
So in the spirit of the griot, this is
our story.
