ANCESTORS

If you could see your ancestors
All standing in a row.
Would you be proud of them or not
Or don't you really know?
Some strange discoveries are made
in climbing family trees
And some of them you know
Do not particularly please.

If you could see your ancestors
All standing in a row.
There are some of them perhaps;
You wouldn't care to know.
But there's another question
Which requires a different view,
If you could see your ancestors,
Would they be proud of you?

The following Family Histories were taken from various sources.

They are presented here as found, with any notes that are not part of the original text shown within brackets [as here].

Information may be from newspapers, websites, History books, family Bibles or through personal contact with a living descendant.  Any sources are noted.

As you browse through the "Histories", if you note any mistakes, please let us know.  Likewise, if you know of any additions, we would like to know about them.  Keeping the information accurate and current is our prime concern.

Although for Preston County, these 2 volumes of
"A History of Preston County, West Virginia" by Oren Morton,
hold a lot of info on Garrett County surnames.
Thought it may be of help to some.
