Welcome to our family history website, a genealogical connection for our family. The world is shrinking more everyday and as we find out more about our past the more connected and closer we become. Our nation is great because of the diversity that makes up the population. For some of us finding each of the branches that led to us is a great pastime and for some a dedication. The following pages are limited to our family but offer some history and links to help others. Please note, you will see several coats of arms in this website. We understand the rites of Heraldry, that a coat of arms is bestowed on one individual and not the family. Most hereditary titles are inherited only by the legitimate, eldest son of the original grantee or that son's male heir according to masculine primogeniture. In some countries and some families, titles descended to all children of the grantee equally, as well as to all of that grantee's remoter descendants, male and female. So we are showing only that a coat of arms was granted to someone in the family at one time to add color to story. Our family tree begins here with a list of Surnames we are currently researching. Please take a look and let us know what you think about the information we have and let us know what we are missing or what we got wrong.
