The Big Sandy Mountaineer -

You can know what some of your family histories are. I wasn't necessarily interested in my family until my sister, Dena, started digging into it herself. Her friend Liz looked up something for her, and after that, she was hooked on our family. Dena spends hours every day researching. She has information going back 40 generations. She has studied all four of my family lines Patten, Brewer, Clowes, and Biddle.

In my family are many interesting, powerful, and inspiring blood relatives. And others I would rather not claim, but they are mine anyway and have contributed to my family culture...
