Let's take a "Sentimental Journey" down Memory Lane & view My family tree.

April 24, 2001

My family
In memory of:
my father,
Ellis Austin Henderson, 1906-1998,
who's information and stories of his family first started my interest in family history "A greater man I have never known."

And my mother,
Genevieve Grace Lawrence Henderson, 1904-2001,
who instilled in me pride in who I am and where I came from. "First An angel on earth, now an angel in heaven."
At my father's funeral, my brother said it best, "It is very hard to follow in Dad's footsteps, and impossible to follow in Mom's."

The surnames in my tree include: Alford, Bach, Brodbeck, Clark, Covington, Estes, Funk, Funkhouser, Habegger, Haynes, Henderson, Klein, Livingston, Lawrence (Lorentz), Louton (Lutton), Main, Orrick, Rentsch, Rhodes, Saunders, Showalter, Skein>, Stein, Sullenberger, Tanner, Wilson, Wuthrich, Zaugg and Zehnder,
