I BELIEVE THAT GENEALOGY IS MORE THAN JUST PEOPLE, IT IS ALSO ABOUT THE PLACES THEY ARE FROM. LIKE PEOPLE EVERY PLACE HAS A PAST, BUT IT IS THE PEOPLE WHO GAVE THEM A PAST... A HISTORY... A GENEALOGY!

This saying was hung over the cemetery in the ghost town of Aurora, Ca:

AS YOU ARE NOW

I ONCE WAS

AS I AM NOW

YOU TOO WILL BE...

At first I wasn't quite sure what to write here, but now I feel that a few more words are necessary. I am retired, but not tired, I have been doing genealogy since 2001 when my mother died, leaving me with bits and pieces of our families.

Since then I have traced and documented my mothers side of the family(Tate's, Price, Morgan's) back to the 1500's. As for my father's side of the family( Ennis, Enos, Thomas) well let's say I am a native Californian, my great grandfather sailed on a whaling ship from the Azores in the late 1840's, jumped ship in the bay of San Francisco and made his way to the gold fields of Northern California.

When I am not hunting graves, I write. paint and do pencil drawing.

I love history an devote a great deal of time to researching and photographing forgotten towns, trails building, stage and pony express stations.

Please feel free to use any pictures I may post to your memorial for your own personal use. The way I see it, they are a gift that I have given to you for your personal use.

Any use of my pictures on other websites is forbidden without prior permission. Please don't not post on other web site!.

If I have a memorial that is your family, just ask, I will transfer(unless it is my family) to you, I have just been a caretaker.

I am also the county coordinator for the Phillips County Gen Web project. To access my pages please use the link below.
