I have created this book for my family in hopes my family will continue adding to it for the children of all in the future and enjoy the roots we have come from. This is a incomplete book and has no ending but is a continuing story of all our lives now and before us. The struggles of those before us and the struggles of our lives today, and the lives in the future. These lives are what have created our strengths of our country and our family, I hope this will help keep all of us close as a family and remember where we all come from.

I will continue to add more pages to this memory book on the history of our family with the help of old memories from other family members. You will find mistakes from spelling to truths, please let me know what you may find so it can be corrected. I have over 5 years of work from gathering information to scanning photos and have spent a lot of money on ink, paper and computer programs to put this together.

Gramma Stafford help me name 95% of the pictures and 99% of the photos I scanned came from Gramma Stafford, most of the photos are now with my brother Harold, and most of the documents are with JoAnn my Sister, Carol my sister now has a old document and my brother Darold has my Father's old CC papers. I have my mothers Communion Paper. My brother Harold provided me with family tree documents and information on my fathers side of the family and I will later have them scanned to pass on and put in this book..

Let our lives not be like footsteps in the sand and wash away with time, but to let our memories be remembered by those who fallow us in our footsteps.
