A North & South Union
Welcome to Our Family Genealogy. We hope you find something on this site that proves useful to your own family history quest. We've been researching family genealogy since the late 1990's. My northern lineage (through my great grandparents) includes the surnames Waddell, Black, Johnson, Smart, Jakes, Foster, Speed and Anderson. My wife's southern lineage (through her great grandparents) includes the surnames Wilson, Owen, Hilton, Jones, Pender, Johnson, Hansard and O'Kelley. Nearly 100 additional ancestral families are contained herein. Please note that information concerning living individuals is withheld from public view unless you obtain a username and password.
Please contact us if you have information on the following individuals, their parents or siblings: Thomas Smart born in the early 1800's near County Down, Ireland; Henry Jakes born 04 Jan 1800 in Maryland; Nancy Cheezum born after 03 Sep 1776 in Caroline Co., Maryland; George McClary born circa 1800 in New Jersey or John Johnson born circa 1814 in Pidley, Huntingdonshire, England. We would like to know who the people are in the picture to the left. They may be from the Black, Speed, McClary, Anderson or Pigg families.
The information on this site has been so amazing. Thank you for all the work you have done on it. My Mom did not know anything about this side of her family. This has opened up a wealth of information just by searching the little information that we knew on the Speed family. Thank you again it has been really fascinating.
I found your website while looking for information about my grandfather, Keelin Wilson. Through my research, I was able to connect with my Wilson family whom I had not seen for over sixty years. My husband and I are now interested in trying to go back even farther in my family tree. Thank you for the wealth of information.
Those who do not treasure up the memory of their ancestors, do not deserve to be remembered by posterity.
People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors.
Why waste your money looking up your family tree? Just go into politics and your opponents will do it for you.
Everyone has ancestors and it is only a question of going back far enough to find a good one.
Preserve your memories, keep them well, what you forget you can never retell.
There are only two lasting bequests we can give our children - one is roots, and the other, wings.
