My Grandmother

 

All this genealogy,  family history

gathering started in 1977 when my

Grandmother, Viola told me to look in the phone book for Brizzee’s in Mesa.

We can all thank her, for her insight into the future. My Grandmother loved talking about her own famous family from Bishop, California the, McKellips.
