The goal of this blog is to tie ancestors to historical events . Hopefully this will make both ancestors and history seem more "real" to the grand children.
A key to who is who---
Individuals highlighted in this blog will be the ancestors of my children and grandchildren.
I will tie each of them back to one or more of the key individuals circled.
