What are my favorite Original Family Narratives? PEARCE-AUSTEN, LESLIE, “INDIAN JOHN” MILLER, and “TOMMY” LEENEW ONGOING: “Vitals” for each couple including ancestors, descendants, locations, grave GPS & more (click on first names in family trees)
IDEA: If you’re from one of our families, why not “save” that family tree file, then replace my name and descendants with yours, then print. and distribute! (I hope you’ll share this with my readers and me.)
