This is a story about family, my family. Beginning in the distant past with great grandparents and tracing their descendants to the present great grandchildren, I've documented my family history including my brother, myself, and our wives. It's a thorough genealogical family tree featuring numerous illustrations and photographs. Primarily written to preserve my family history, it can be enjoyed by others wishing to learn how the Leighton and Vernon families emigrated from England to the United States.
