I have been very interested in my family tree ever since I was 16 years old, a 
high school project is what got me started.  Now I am 23 and I have accumulated almost
3,000 names, and I am still not finished, but of course I probably never will be.  I 
find more and more every day, and its always exciting to find new information, 
especially the family stories and pictures.  I eventually want to print all this out 
on paper, and share it with my family, but I first have to get it better organized 
first.  I am still at a brick wall with some of it though, as I have been for a 
couple years now, but I hope to break through it and find some new and exciting 
information.  I only just very recently been able to work on the Pattersons because I 
had been at a stand still for so long, but I finally broke through that brick wall 
which is always awesome.  I hope you find what you are looking for in my family tree, 
and if you have anything to change or add, just let me know, I will research it, and 
if need be, I will change it.  Also, if you have any questions, I would be glad to 
make an effort to answer them.  If any of you can offer any help with John (Uncle 
Jackie) Berry B: 1794 in Kentucky D: 1898 in Missouri, I still have yet to find his 
parents, all I know is his mother's first name and the fact that she was born in 
Germany and when and where his parents were married.  If you look him up on my site, 
there are a couple pictures that I have of him, that rocking chair that he is sitting 
in, apparently still exists today, one of his other descendants has it in their 
possesion.  Like I said, if anyone can help me out with any information on this man, 
I would so very much appreciate it, and I would gladly help out in any way that I can 
with yours as well.  I hope you enjoy your walk through my family history.
