  "HE WHO CARETH NO FROM WHENCE HE CAME CARETH LITTLE WHITHER HE GOETH."
Daniel Webster
 Welcome family and friends. 
I'm so glad you stopped by. I have dedicated this website to our loved ones 
that have gone on before us. They have ran the race that was before them and I 
hope that those of us that still have ours to run will make them proud. By 
creating this site I want all to know that our family is very important to us 
and although we may have changed in many different ways and moved apart from each 
other, we are still and always will be very close at heart.

  While reading the stories and information on different families, just remember that 
we all have skeletons in our closets. This is true for ALL FAMILIES. Some of our 
ancestors made some pretty serious mistakes, just as we do at times. None of us are 
superior over another. Don't be judgemental by what you might find out as you search 
back. I believe, just like us, our ancestors did the best that they could at that 
time. If something you read offends you, then I am sorry. That was not my intention. 
The facts help you understand the lifestyles they had back then. Personally, some of 
my ancestors made some tragic mistakes too. If you go back far enough in any family 
you might  find anything from moonshiners to murders.
  I have done my best to document what I have to try to make sure what I have is 
accurate but I just want you to know that there will be mistakes. Not intentionally, 
but I have to get my information through oral history, other sites and census' all
of them can have mistakes.  Don't be concerned if a name or date is wrong or
misspelled. Birth records were not kept up to date like they are now, and some 
of the records, have been destroyed and there is no way to recover them. What 
I'm trying to say is, there will be mistakes, expect them but also expect that 
there is probably a lot of truth in what you read also. I have decided to 
display only the dates of birth of those that are deceased for security 
reasons.  I know we all consider our family a beautiful blessing from the Lord. 
However if you do know of a correction please send it to me and help me keep this 
site up to date. Contact information:brmtgal@yahoo.com   
   It is against the law to copy information from one site to another and in 
anyway suggest that all the material was your own. This site may be used for 
informational purposes only. I have made my site available as a tool for those 
interested in learning more about their family history. You are free to use 
the names and dates freely of those deceased. I am more than happy to share 
that, but permission is needed to use the stories and pictures and they are 
protected under the copyright laws. Please contact me for special permission 
to use a  story, picture or document of any kind other than a census report if 
you are a direct descendant of that person.
