Miller, Somers, Wilson, Wynn Family Trees
Welcome to my website! Many hours of work have been put into the research and documentation of these ancestors. I hope you will benefit from the information I present here.
These are my great, great, grandparents from Indiana. I love this old photo of them pretending to be in a canoe.
Discovering this photo is what led me to search for other members of my family tree.
