Hello. Welcome to this Web site full of Meghan's folks. Who's Meghan? Miss Meghan Elizabeth Grau, daughter of Joseph A. Grau, Jr. and Brenda McCracken Grau. The information on the site was dredged up by her Grandpa Joe, who thought it might be neat for Meg to be able to see who her ancestors were and who her "kinfolks" are. (Does anybody actually say "kinfolks" these days?) It was put on the Web so that other family members could check it out and in case anyone might find some of this information useful in researching his or her family tree.
Right now, the site is pretty much limited to Mag's paternal ancestors. Please see the COMMENTS & SOURCES page for an explanation.
Please feel free to browse around all you want. Just click the banner-type things below to check stuff out. And if you have an extra minute, signing the guestbook is always appreciated.
