This page is my attempt at getting all of my family's ancestry organized.  I am adopted, so there's even more sides to my family, than usual.  You will find the surnames of Cato, Newell, Manahan, Christopher, Shelton, Reinhart, Duncan, Kowal, Dudek, Gibson, Mckinney, Schaible, and more.  Some of the lines don't go very far, while others go back quite a bit.  I've just started, so it will be a while before it is finished; in fact, it may never be completed to my satisfaction.  So, the search continues.  

    This page is still under construction.  You can click on the highlighted surnames to read that lineage. 

    This site includes both sides of our family--my husband's side (Cato, Manahan, Newell, Mckinney, and Gibson), and mine (Shelton, Reinhart, Dudek, Duncan, Kowal, Christopher, and Schaible).
