I’ve put this picture out of my family’s genealogy book in here before... and I figure now’s a good time to do it again... I was at this old cemetery to lower my 90 year old grandmother this past Tuesday ... felt like an earthquake with all my ancestors rolling over in their graves ....Given what it’s become ... those of you in here that have deep roots... please share your story

I know my grandmother actually traced her family from coming over from England on the Mayflower. I thought that was pretty neat. Other than that, I don't know a whole lot other than they were mostly farmers with a few sheriff's thrown in. From Mass. they spread into New York state where, as far as I know, most of them stayed.

Very cool, I'd sure love to hear the stories that ol ranger could tell us.
I have been told that my great great grandfather and his first wife had 5 kids. When he passed of something fatal then but not all but forgotten, he loaded up an Indian woman (native I guess now) who had lost her husband and they made 5 more and that is why I couldn't grow a decent mustache until I was 50. This all took place up somewhere in the sandhills of Nebraska.

my family (fathers side) started out in VA . Im not sure when. John Clifton was a corporal in the Continental Army. Some went to Mt Airy N.C. some years later and then a couple on to CO.

My great grand dad was a sheriff's deputy in east central AR in the early 20th century. His job was overseeing the black inmates on the county farm. From what I understand my great grand dad was a rounder and would enjoy a drink or a card game with these same inmates and never had much trouble with them. He told my dad this story. " One time in the middle of the night he heard the inmates making a ruckus, so he slipped out of his shack and positioned himself where he could see the door of the inmate shack. Wasn't long he saw a head start poking out the door. Someone was about to run." He said, " One round from his revolver in the porch post not 2 foot from the fellers head ended that thought. He didn't hear another peep all night."

My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Cody. We are related to William F. Cody's 1st cousin, Alvin Cody. We took three of the eleven grandkiddos last July 4th to Cody to participate in the 100 year anniversary of the Cody Wyoming, sponsored by the Cody Family. We had a ball. Donna and I were up front, helping carry the family banner and the grandkids were on the hay wagon tossing candy to the crowd of 15,000. Oh, and they didn't hunt the buffalo to near extinction. Cattle disease was the culprit. Blessings! Mark

First, sorry for your loss. There arent any famous folks in my lineage, But im still on the same piece of dirt they saw in their time, however different it may be. The patriarch of my clan branched off from Northhampton, Halifax county NC area after Revolutionary war service and came to Johnston Co. and started breeding to get some help to tend the place

Found out last year that my mothers family came to the New York area in 1648.That may times great grandfather was a minister.From there over the next 200 plus years,they kept moving and ended up in the 1800s in Minnesota. my great,great,great grand mother died in 1919 and her obituary was the front page of the Minneapolis newspaper. My fathers side of the family arrived in Nebraska in 1901.The next year they moved and started a farm in Sandstone Mn. Which is still in the family today. Tom
