My family history research did not begin until my retirement, so I got a late start. Fortunately my mother lived to age 97, and she was a tremendous help and had a keen memory. Unfortunately, my father's side of the family had several generations of having a single child who died young., so It is a rather spindly branch. I am the last of the line, so I want to record as much as I can from the facts that I have been able to find to date. I am still digging into the past, and it has been a great adventure.

Surnames that figure primarily in my research are Burns, Cave, Collins, Cravey, DeGraffenreid, and Robison, but myriad side branches are included as well.
