The Mormons do it, why shouldn't we Apostolics do the same!

That wasn't meant as a slam!

Later became a captive during the batlte of the bulge and freed by Patten's army at the close of the war.

The family traces its roots through France, Greece and Italy. The records indicate that my forefather is Linus mentioned by Paul in II Tim 4:21. I have a very large book that traces the family all the way back to him. Someone has kept family records over the many centuries which is quite rare in genealogy.

After coming to America, according to church records, my forefather built the church where Geo and Martha was married at New Kent County, Va. Forefather was a family friend to them and also served under him in the Revolutionary war.

Another forefather fought on the wrong side in the Civil War and lost. His name is recorded on the Military walls in Vicksburg, Miss. Actually, all of my forefathers served in the wars of this nation, as did I as well.

My blood descent is a mixure of English, French, Irish, Welch, Dutch, Scotch and American Indian. Possibly other blood lines that I do not know about. Yes, one of my ancestors was also a slave owner of over 100 slaves in Louisiana. After they were freed, my forefather gave a large portion of the land to the freed slaves where some of them still reside until this day.

Just a rough sketch of the family history/lineage

And you sir, have a very obvious flair for writing fiction.

Except for the "Linus" remark (which is only tradition) just what part of it would you call fiction?

We can't seem to trace back more then a couple of generations on either of my folks side.
I think they were all spontaneously created about the turn of the century (the beginning of the 20th century).

I haven't researched that particular leg of the family very far so i don't know when they came to Texas and where they came from.

I am in contact with a lady who wanted the information I had and was going to trade me with the information she had (which went further back) but she has yet to come up with her promised part of the deal.

Well, dont worry yet. I contacted the DNA project for the Miller name. There are over 1000 Paternal Miller DNA unrelated families identified in the USA!

I apologize. I caught the "Linus" remark and thought perhaps you were writing with a twinkle in your eye. Thank you for the correction.

Very interesting family history there.
