In moving my domain I inadvertently lost some pages and some images... I am looking for them! If you downloaded any, please send them to me via e-mail. It is my feeling that inviting you to view my genealogy
website is much like inviting you into my home. I wanted to provide a
welcoming, friendly place for you to browse through in comfort and with ease. I
hope
you will find it easy to navigate, that the colors I have chosen are
easy
on your eyes and the decoration isn't distracting, and, most of all, I
hope
the content is to your liking. May you find something new about your
ancestors,
their times and their influences. I would also wish that you will find
a
portrait of an ancestor you have not seen before.
Kyle Akin, Isle of Skye, Scotland: it is said that in some cases the surname Akins may have originated from this location.
Atkins is a Scottish and northern Irish family name
The name has several possible origins, although it is generally considered
to be a variant of Aikens, which is considered to be a patronymic form of the name Aiken.
These names are considered to be derived from the Scots personal name Aitken,
which is a double diminutive form of the Biblical name Adam.
The name is formed in part from Ad, the diminutive of Adam (the d has been sharpened to t);
the name is also formed from the diminutive suffix -kin. George Fraser Black stated that
the -s in the surnames Atkins, and Aitkins, represents "son"; an in consequence,
that these names equate to Atkinson. Atkins is a sept of the House of Gordon

Daddy in hat. Young boy is JC McGraw who worked most of his
life for Daddy.
One
of my dad's favorite sayings stays with me. "If you
don't know it's
impossible, it isn't." He lived by this credo, but, he always stopped
to smell the roses in his life, and, he always made me feel I was the
best rose of all.

...Perhaps
one of the things which most characterizes the 1950's was
the strong element of conservatism and anti-Communist feeling which ran
throughout much of society. One of the best indicators of the
conservative frame of mind
was the addition of the phrase "under God" to the Pledge of Allegiance.

Royal
Connections
Even without a documented connection to a notable forebear, experts say
the odds are virtually 100 percent that every person on Earth is
descended from one royal personage or another.
"Millions of people have provable descents from medieval monarchs,"
said Mark Humphrys, a genealogy enthusiast and professor of computer
science at Dublin City University in Ireland. "The number of people
with unprovable descents must be massive."
