I began to research the family history after the death of my Grandmother, Alice. She was the keeper of all things "family", and I wish she would have been able to enjoy this adventure with me.

I was lucky to share her enjoyment of all things historical, and upon her passing, inherited her many books, photos, and documents on the family. Several of branches of my tree run through Page County and Taylor County, Iowa. This is for her, and our future family.

I am currently researching the following lines:

Bening*/Brooks*/Foster/Long*/Reed* /Shannon /Warren/Wortman
