What New?  

2011 Christmas Newsletter

We are the descendants of known and time forgotten generations of past families. We dedicate this web site to those generations that came before us with love and remembrance; and the hope for future generations to build upon our family legacy.

Most of the family's origins can be traced back to England, Ireland, Scotland, or Poland.  We can date some family ancestors as far back as 1500 and 1680 in two instances. To the best of our knowledge, most of our known colonial families arrived around 1740 in Delaware and/or Pennsylvania.  Other family members were known to have been born and/or settled into parts of Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois during the 1800's. We have discovered family through the 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 US Census, primarily in Western Kentucky.  Around the turn of the century, some family members settled in Arkansas. Our Polish or Poland-Russian ancestors arrived through Ellis Island, New York in 1905, 1906, and 1907 and made their way to Michigan.
