My Family Files: I have decided to use my gedcom which is uploaded to Rootsweb (and automatically Ancestry, as well) for my family files. It it so much easier to keep them updated, which gives me more time for research. This is the only place I upload my gedcom on the internet. Locations in Lincoln & Rutherford Co., NC; the Upper Cumberland area of Tennessee, Autauga Co., Alabama and Texas

God Bless America!

The American's Creed
by William Tyler Page

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic;  a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect Union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
