No matter what our philosophies of life, we live on one small planet destined 
to be the best of what our Creator intended us to be. Our ancestors before us 
have showed us the way - whether good or bad. This is our heritage.
As for our ancestors, we owe them a debt of gratitude for what they have given 
and taught to those they reared. We can`t judge them for their mistakes, sins 
or faults as we all have the same proclivity for such. From sinner to 
preacher, from student to teacher, from single to married, from saint to 
promiscuity and from young to old, we all share the same father and mother - 
Adam and Eve.
 The art of passing from generation to generation is what our forefathers have 
taught us has been lost by many. Those of us, who are preserving this heritage 
and history, hope to pass to our heirs a pride and enjoyment of learning about 
family.
  Join us as we make our pilgrimage to search for those who have made us what 
we are today. To those who visit this website, we hope we have inspired you to 
search your rich family heritage. To those cousins, who find us as a result of 
this website, We welcome you with open arms. Let`s work together to leave a 
legacy for those who are to come behind us. Begin your family heritage and 
history today. Reach out to your elders before it is too late to learn 
valuable family history they have to give. Once they are gone, it is lost 
forever.



Thanks to the following individuals for making this website possible: 

 Gerry Clarke in Ireland for the Gallagher ancestry in Co. Mayo. Gerry made 
the big connection to the original Gallaghers in Ireland. He has supplied me 
with the wife of Paddy Gallagher and their children and down. Gerry gave us a 
big part of the Gallagher family that was lost for such a long time.

 Kate Sullivan in Boston for linking me up with Gerry Clarke in Ireland. One 
little e-mail to her and everything came together. Kate showed me the way to 
this page and what it had to offer. 

 Paul Wire for the `Wire Family` photos and documentation of family records. 
Paul has searched not only at his home but even in the local library for 
information on the Eislers part of this Family Tree. 

 Joe & Pam Wagner for creating the Polish and German side of the family 
history. The Wagner`s and Bonkowski etc. part of the Family Tree, without 
their continual help we would not have this side of the Family Tree done for a 
long time. Thanks to the two of them for taking all of their time and asking 
all of the relatives for their input so they could preserve history for all of 
our grandchildren.
