Back in the 80's my mother gave me papers which belonged to my father's family. There was a letter written by a sister to her brother in 1862 talking about the civil war. I was fascinated and knew I had to find out about these relatives. They were in MA in 1680. My father's mother's family are from CT, NY, and Vermont. So I started my journey and have been amazed at how hard these people had it, how they got by with so many children and how they were the ones who put the footprints on this beginning nation. Without them, I would not be here. Their life was worth remembering and their story is worth passing on to the next generation. To my family: Bell, Taylor, Cobb, Hunt, Miller.
