The Texas Bureau of Vital
Statistics came into existence and began recording information in
1903. For the State of Pennsylvania, the Department of Vital Records
began its mission in 1906. Since these dates, a variety of laws require

state’s government. More...

I have spent nearly 25 years researching the genealogy
of our family, primarily from the perspective of my son, Joshua. His
family, from both his mother's and my line, includes a wide variety
of distinguished individuals. Rich in Texas, Pennsylvania, U.S. and
World history, our surnames include notably Gaines, Maverick, Bomba,
Grice, Bonsal, Pennypacker, Peppel, Swier, Stoy, Place, Houston, Kennedy
and many others. Some of the more distinguished (or infamous) individuals
whose names appear within are King Henry I of England, President Ulysses
S. Grant, General Sam Houston, Samuel Maverick and Harry Longabaugh
(the Sundance Kid). More...

The Definers of My Family

The
process of compiling this record aroused a multitude of phantasms.
More times than I can remember, I found myself spellbound in who my
ancestors were and how they lived. I marveled at the notion that the
way they lived their lives and the decisions they made (from the monumental
to the inconsequential), directly determined the person I am today,
who my children will be tomorrow, and how society will be defined
for generations to come. Transcribing the names of thousands of family
members, I got the spiritual sense that I was able to participate
in their lives by thinking about them in mine.
