This Web-site was created to
bring information that I have gathered through the course of the last 16
years of collecting research data on my father's side of the family
tree. During that time I have also accumulated a large amount of
information on my mother's side and have this information present at
this site. My quest began in 1989 while visiting the Wellston
Public Library with my daughter Hilary. While at the library I browsed through the
genealogy section and found information on my great grandfather, Carl
Russell Patrick. I had found the names of his parents and from that
point, my quest began. Researching the Patrick side has led me through 6
generations of long and dedicated research. I have found myself at a
standstill during some of the most trying times, yet there was always
that little piece of this tremendous puzzle that has driven myself to
continue with my efforts.
