~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I started the search for my family history back in 1991 when my  father's cousin, Ramona ANDERSON-WINER (1937-2005), gave him a copy of her  CONNER research. I LOVE a good mystery and want to thank everyone who has contributed  to this site.
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He who boasts of his descent is like a potato: The best part is underground.  (American proverb)
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From Ecclesiastes Chapter 1:

"4  One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh:          but the earth abideth forever.

5  The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, 
         and hasteth to his place where he arose."

NOTE: Ernest Hemingway's book titled The Sun Also Rises (1926) comes from this  passage
