This site is dedicated to all the families of the past, the present and the future that have been, and will be, a part in the establishing of my house and those who dwell in it. There are many names engraved on the walls of this house of which very little is known. Through the efforts of all of us of the present, hopefully, the history of those of the past will be preserved for those of the future so that none will be forgotten.
Thanks to everyone that has shared their research and efforts to make this site possible.

Who am I ? What is my name ?
This image and I; are we the same ?
This face I see; is it of me ?
Or could it be the face of we ?
These words I speak; are they of me?
Or should I seek the words of we?
Should this life I live be lived as me?
Or should my strives be centered on we?
And when the time shall come to die;
What shall become of we and I?
Johnny CookIf you'd never been born, then what would you be?
You might be a fish or a toad or a tree.
You might be a doorknob or three baked potatoes.
Worse than all that, you might be a wasn't.
A wasn't just isn't. He just isn't present.
But you... You are you. Now isn't that pleasant?
Today you are you, and it's truer than true
That there's no one alive who is you-er than you.
Shout loud, "I am lucky to be what I am!
Thank goodness I'm not just a clam or a ham,
Or a dusty old jar of gooseberry jam.
I am what I am, and it's a great thing to be,
If I say so my self, happy birthday to me!"
Dr. Seuss
