As a retired Music teacher in the California Bay Area, I enjoy researching my family name(s) that includes a Puritan settlement in 1636, Revolutionary War soldiers, a pioneer settlement in 1836, Civil War vets for the North AND South and a father who flew missions in WWII over Japan. Family IS history!
