Family Matters

Welcome to my blog -- Jones Family Matters. Over time, I hope to post stories, pictures, etc. from all of my family lines. The initial posts will be about the Joneses, but I've researched my German, Irish and English roots, too. Surnames I've investigated include: Jones, Ryan, von der Heide, Cronin, Probert, Dailey, Wainright, Reed and Hellmann. I've spent the past year researching my colonial ancestors and hope to share what I've learned throughout 2016.

Welcome!

This blog has been a labor of love. It is my hope that by sharing the stories of our ancestors, we will grow in appreciation of all those who came before us. The easiest way to find information on a particular surname is to use the search box below. The posts are arranged in a generally sequential order with the most recent post on the top. To read the oldest post first, use the blog archive. Questions? Email me at khreed@cinci.rr.com.
