Shaking More Branches

I haven’t fully exhausted researching my side of the family tree, but I think it’s time to explore my husband’s lines. Those limbs take us back from present day Oklahoma, through middle America as land became available in Illinois, skipping back into Newport, and out colonial Virginia and North Carolina back over the ocean to where it all began in Scotland, Wales, and England. Much research has already been done, but it is new to me.

I wrote a little bit about his family here, as part of the 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks series in 2024. Now, I will be profiling specific ancestors, starting with his parents.

I’m excited to put their stories along with mine!

I created a family tree a few years ago for Mark’s birthday and I had to break it up in four sections because of the number of ancestors!
