Pioneers Portals and Paths is a family genealogy site researching early family members settling in the Eastern United States.  While researching these families I found we have many connections to  the people and events that shaped history. History is not the story of some old unrelated  strangers. No. History is your story. Your family was there - your grandmothers and  grandfathers, uncles and aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces. And if not for them, you wouldn't  be here today.  I am bound to them, though I cannot look into their eyes or hear their voices.   I honor their history.  I cherish their lives.  I will tell their story.  I will remember  them....

In this research I have tried to be as accurate as possible.  Please view all admissions which  DO NOT have a source citation with thoughtful consideration. If you discover mistakes or  omissions please bring these to my attention and we will correct and improve as necessary.  My  research is always a work in progress. I hope you enjoy my efforts.  Most of all… I hope you  enjoy life.  Life is so fragile and so fleeting; live it to its fullest...it will be over in a minute… ~ Nancy L. Pittman -  Admin
