About this blog

Deason Hunt February 1, 2009

The fruits of over 30 years of genealogical research — family memories, events of long ago, and the fun of finding it all — are included in story form in this blog. My ancestral stories while not of the rich, famous, or powerful are still full of lessons for myself and my grandchildren — those of the present and future generations. All of this is for Kaylee, Brooklyn, and Peyton and your (as yet unknown) children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, etc. For your sake, their sake, and the memories of those who have come before you, please pass it on.
