Family names Duke,Hay,Hodges,Parker and Van Fosson.This site has been created 
for my first Grandchild born August 06, 2006. As most people 
we have tangled branches of a very large tree, as a gift to Fiona  
Van Fosson. I have gathered and will 
continue to gather as much information about her family as I can. Her father, 
Greggery Van Fosson is suppose to be a direct decendant of Quannah Parker( on 
his Father's side).  This has not been proven as of yet, but I will continue 
to work on this.  Fiona's Great, Great, Great, Grandfather on Greggery's 
Mother  (who just happens to be me, Jennifer Hay Parker Vanfosson)Father's 
(Clifton Bruce Hay)Mother's (Lena Bell Duke Hay Switzer) Father (Issac Isham 
Duke) is a direct decendant from the Duke Tobacco Company.  I have gone back 
to the year 938AD with this branch of our family tree to Greece and Royality. 
It will take me a while to key in all of the families, their families and 
everyone elses families into this site, as I started this years ago before a 
computer could fit neatly on my lap.  The first computer that I saw was at my 
High School (Bandera High School, Bandera, Bandera County,Texas) around 1965.  
It was in a room that it fit neatly into, which I am guessing it was about 400 
sq feet (20 x 20).  So a lot is hand written and being a lefty forced to be a 
righty I have only perfected the ledgeability of my scrawl, recently.  I have 
collected stories and legends from more generations than I can count and with 
the help of the Bandera Bulletin (Local newpaper in Bandera, Bandera County, 
Texas)which was run and owned by my Great Great Uncle Ray Marvin Hay's Family, 
his son Ray Marvin Hay Hunter and Ray Marvin's Mother Nettie Hay Hunter Saul  
(Uncle Ray's x-wife), I have been able to get a great account of the old west 
as well as my Father's Hay side of the family,who were Mormons(some settled at 
Medina Lake,Mica/Lakehills, Bandera County, Texas the balance went to Salt 
Lake City Utah) and as all know have kept records of records. 
Any and all help is always welcome.
