This website is dedicated to the preservation of our genealogy and family history. Our lines on this site begin with Socrates, Stecher, Deaver & Powell. Naturally, these are just the beginning of a much larger tree as these surnames branch out into many others such as Chatelin, DePriest, Beals, Carr, Green, De Priest, and so many more. We hope that this site will continue to be a work in progress as our family joins together in a common goal and desire to preserve our family history. Day by day we are losing the opportunity to learn about who we came from, and missing an opportunity to know ourselves better. We welcome and ask for your comments and contributions to the research, material, and media on this site. We are very grateful for those who have already contributed! THANK-YOU!
