This website began as a way to share information on the Ryburn family of Washington County, Virginia. But like pebbles rippling on a pond, one family led to another, and then to another.... and with the help of many wonderful cousins and friends the site now includes numerous pioneer families.
Comments or corrections are appreciated... and please consider sharing photos and "facts"... they are the gifts that keep this website growing.
December 2008
This edition of Rambling Roots introduces a new map feature. Visit the Washington County page and click on the Cemetery Map link for an example. Or visit the Misc. Locations page and click on Carroll County, Illinois. More maps will follow soon.
I have also added a page called "Fallen Leaves" (see link below) to remember fellow researchers who are no longer with us.
Happy Holidays to everyone and thank you for your help and support in 2008! May 2009 bring us new answers to old questions.
