This site is a combination of many families and shows how we are all connected, in essence it  is 
 the 
 start of many family trees. Hello, my name is Roger Lee Loveless. I was born 16 Dec 1950 at St.  Catherines' Hospital in East Chicago, Lake County, Indiana, which is where this history begins.  I 
 have traced 21 generations,on my Loveless line and am now trying to verify that they are all  correct 
 My parents are Vernon Ray Loveless and Mary Anna Rastovski. My paternal grandparents were Ray  Vernon 
 Loveless and Jennie Opal Kirkpatrick. My Maternal grandparents were Joseph Rastovski and Agnes  Trgovcic. I have 3 children, Cheryl Lee (Loveless) VanGilder age 44, Tammy Jean (Loveless)  Williams age 41 and Michael Wayne Loveless age 39. I also have 3 step children. Samuel Wesley  Martin 
 age 39, Danny Lynn Martin Jr. age38 and Consuela Lynn (Martin) Adams age 38, Danny and Connie  are 
 twins. I am Married to Sarah Ethel (Britton) Loveless, she is the best thing that ever happened  to 
 me. Sarah was born 25 Jun 1953 at Starke Memorial Hospital, Knox, Starke County, Indiana. Her  parents were Parris Britton and Ellen Malinda Stewart. We have 18 Grandchildren and 3 Great  Grandsons. We live near Winamac, Indiana and have been there since 1999. I have been retired  since 
 2005. Sarah worked in home health care and other health care positions most of her life. In  2009 
 she 
 had to give up her work do to health related issues. We spend most of our time at home  gardening 
 and 
 enjoying our little homestead. It is our hope that in the near future we will be able to do  some 
 traveling and be able to visit some of our family more often, hopefully about 2 years, but for  now 
 we are content with each others company as we always will be. We used to ride motorcycles but  once 
 again due to health issues we had to give that up also. We love the outdoors but our activities  are 
 pretty much limited to walking, and we thank GOD we are able to do that. We heat our home with  wood. 
 I still try to cut and split wood by hand just to try and keep in shape, but it gets a little  more 
 difficult each year. I know we will have to get another source of heat in the near future, but  we 
 will go as long as we can, I don't like the thought of paying for heat as long as I can get  free 
 heat. We used to raise our own meat for the freezer, but we havn't done that for a few years  now. 
 We 
 had chickens ,rabbits , pigs, ducks, and raised all of our own veggies. Lots of work, but we  enjoyed 
 it. We still raise some of our own veggies, but not as many as we used to. Sarah enjoys  crocheting 
 and cleaning and cooking and yard work. We try to stay as self sufficient as we can and I think  we 
 have done a pretty good job. That is pretty much what our lives are like, nothing exciting, but  we 
 are content with it, and one last thing, I enjoy researching our family history, bet you would  have 
 never guessed that! Please feel free to add to your family and upload photos. It will be fun to  watch and see this tree grow. Hope you all enjoy it and don't hesitate send me your feed back.  Thanks to all!!!
