"They all sang beneath the same sun.
Looked up in wonder at the same One.
And wept when it was all done,
For being done too soon ...
For being done too soon."

| It is all too easy, while doing genealogy, to only see
names and dates. But, these names were all people - like us, with hopes
and fears, good times and bad. They had fears of war and dreams of peace.
Everyone - past, present or future - are all people, living in their own
time and place; with more things in common than in differences. |
| Without family, we are insignificant - lost and alone.
As a member of a family, there is continuity - a piece in a tapestry that
stretches back further than we can imagine, and forward as far as our dreams
can reach. |
| This site is dedicated to my family. What I am is the
result of the individual histories of an unimaginable number of people
- each with their own lives, in their own places and times. |

I am primarily researching the WAINRIGHT/ WAINWRIGHT
Family. My ancestor, Daniel WAINRIGHT (b 22 Sep 1780
in
NJ; d 11 Sep 1855 in Washtenaw Co, MI) and his wife,
Eleanor
(Nellie) HAVENS (b. 1782; d. 18 May 1858)
were married in
1801in Monmouth Co, NJ. The Family moved to the
Fingerlakes region of NY about 1817 (near Ithaca)
and moved to MI in about
1834. They had many children and I am interested to hear
from
any of their descendants or from anyone with info about
their
ancestors. |
I'd love to hear from any WAINRIGHT, WAINWRIGHT
or any other spelling - with any kind of luck we'll be
related,
if not, we probably still have information to share.
