Researching my family's history continues to be a most challenging and rewarding experience. At the beginning, our family knew nothing of our ancestors beyond my great grandfather. We had no idea of who they were, where they began, their occupations, family sizes, nothing.

Thanks to the help of many family members and friends, both old and new, the technology of the Internet, The San Antonio Genealogical Society, and the vast data base of Ancestry.com, a wealth of information has been learned about our beginnings. Thus far, over 2000 names have been added to the family tree. The research is still in progress, with new data constantly being added.

To all those who have assisted in this effort, I am most grateful.
