Getting to the point that I feel older than dirt. Have been doing genealogy for only a couple of years, having taken up where my Mom left off when she passed in 2003. I now have roots & branches - WOW.
I found that I am related to the Pilgrims Alden, Mullens & Brown on my Dad's side of the family. They started in Massachusetts, then to Minnesota, Wisconsin & Colorado. The names are Snow, Brown, Alden/Mullins. Other names on that side are Welch, Sutton, Shepler & Pierpont.

Mother's tree branched from Virgina, Kentucky, Indiana, Iowa then Oregon and I can trace back to about 1640's with the Taylor's, Tarpley's & Lewis'. Other names on that side are Story, Kreuziger, Jung & Robeson. Kreuziger's came from Germany in 1890 to Illinois. I have added some of the extended Oregon step family the Rachor's with permission of my sister. If anyone wants to have them transferred to them please ask.

I was born in Los Angeles, grew up in Oregon. Met my Dad in Colorado when I was 17 and had a blast knowing him until he passed in 1998. Mom & Dad divorced when I was 6 months old. I am now a Texan and got here as fast as I could in '73.
