Welcome to the 

DREWA and WREN

Family Research Site with Known Collateral Families

Having again and again lamented the want of any kind of account of our branch of the families, I have determined, though somewhat advanced in life, to write down all the facts concerning it which I can either remember or collect.  My hope is that those who succeed me may be tempted by my example to continue the history of their own generation, for the benefit of those who may come after them.

This site continues to be a work in progress.

Published  lineage material begins after seventy years have lapsed for those living. A good rule of thumb:  don't publish genealogy information for anyone born after 1930. Many genealogist use GEDClean (freeware program) to remove living people from their Gedcom files. You can download GEDClean from members.aol.com/tomraynor2/gedclean.htm
