Our Family  Origins
America...the final frontier...to seek out a better opportunity, to explore new lands, and to boldly go where none of our ancesters had gone before.....across the great pond. To our ancestors, crossing the Atlantic was a great risk and adventure. In this day and age, our risk and adventure is outer space.

We created this  website to piece together our family history; and for the enjoyment of our family .  It is a celebration of who we are, where we came from and where we are going.   This tree contains  information on the surnames below, and is a work in progress. . If you think you may have a connection with our family, please write with the connecting puzzle pieces, and we will investigate.

Please make note that we are also attempting to solve the Jim Brown Mystery. This is the husband of Mary Turner, married October 1882 Johnson County, Arkansas. Jim Brown left to go to Missouri shortly after Luny Lee was born...and some folklore has it that he may have been an outlaw. Please see links for further information.

We are in the process of adding more pages directly related to the surnames.

Thus far, we have done geneology and pictures related to several generations back and we are in the process of doing more reserach and will post it as it is completed.
