Due to ANCESTRY.com retiring ROOTSWEB as of 2024,
this ROOTSWEB Genealogy Family Tree website
will NO LONGER BE UPDATED.

Please go to www.MillerSomers.com
to find all the current and updated family tree
information for the thousands of ancestors
that had originally been hosted here.

Thank you for your interest.

From RootsWeb...
"RootsWeb was founded in 1996 and has had an extraordinarily long and
successful run, outlasting nearly every other website originating in those
early days of the internet. RootsWeb has far exceeded its founders' expectations
regarding longevity and its central role in creating an online genealogy community,
but maintaining RootsWeb forever is not a viable long-term solution.
We recognize the valuable genealogical information RootsWeb offers and
are working to keep that community knowledge alive by migrating it
to Ancestry and other places throughout 2023."
