Welcome to the Tumbleweed. I decided to call this the tumbleweed because let’s face it, family trees rarely look tree-shaped. Back then cousins could marry cousins, widows and widowers would marry the sibling of their deceased spouse, siblings would marry siblings, etc. The result is often a tangle of interconnections, thus a tumbleweed.

Included in these pages will be some of the family history that I have researched over the years. There will be “facts” and interpretations of those “facts”. There may even be some stories along the way. I enjoy researching my family history. It’s a lot of work, a lot of banging my head against the wall, but I enjoy every minute of it.
