The purpose of this site . . .


This site is intended to preserve and celebrate the history and heritage of one of the early families of Texas.  They are somewhat typical of many families who left their European roots behind to establish a new life based on a foundation of hard work and the values they brought with them.  Members of recent generations have researched and preserved pieces of this history, much of it handwritten, along with photos which help to tell the story.  But paper turns brittle and is subject to the decay of time, and memories fade.  This project involves transcribing much of this information so that it will exist in an electronic digital format; this site will offer from time to time glimpses into this story for present and future generations and those who hold such family histories dear.
