Over the past several decades, I have enjoyed learning about the various branches of my family tree. The branches include names like the Griswolds from New England, the Henricksens from Denmark, the Robinsons and the Archers from Virginia, the McKibbens and the Crouses from the Midwest, and the Burgors from Wisconsin. My ancestory is challenging to learn about because of the many locations I must look to for information. I have learned a great deal about many branches of my family tree, but continue in my efforts to learn more. I especially like to research sixteenth and seventeenth century America and how my family played a part in the story of the building of our nation. I am particularly proud of one of my ancestors, the Rev. Samuel Davies. He is located on my Archer family tree branch, and was famous for the role he played in early American religious life. He inspired the speeches of Patrick Henry and worked to educate the African American people of his time. I was able to visit the Virginia Historical Society and hold the Bible Samuel Davies once used.
I enjoy communicating by e-mail with others who have an interest in any members of these family tree branches. I will share any information I have learned on this site as I have time to add it.
