FAMILY TREE

By Laura Velli

We Start Out Small Inside Our Mothers With Care,

Then We’re Born Into The Nice Clean Air.

Our Mother And Father Are First To Greet Us.

Then Grandma and Grandpa Show Up To Meet Us.

As the Family Gathers And Describe All Our Traits.

My Genealogy Journey Becomes Part Of My Fate.

As I Grow And Learn, I Trace All The Names.

Of Those Faces That Love Me And Played All My Games.

It’s A Family Quest, A Journey Of Mine.

It’s The Past I Seek, Cause It Comforts My Mind.

It’s My Family Trees That Are Most Interesting To Me.

From The Past To The Present, We All Come To Be.

The Lineage Continues

The Harrington / Epperson Lineage continues to grow with the birth of our 13th Grandson to Heath and Erica Harrington. Shane Rolland Harrington was born on October 26, 2009 in Lincoln, Nebraska.
His first birth name is that of his Uncle Shane Scott Harrington (February 7, 1969 ~ October 22, 2008). He took his middle name from his Great Uncle Henry Rolland "Tad" Harrington (December 31, 1937 ~ July 29, 1969). Both names are honorable and highly respected names by all that knew them.
Shane Rolland reinstated the Harrington birthright in the State of Nebraska. He was born just a few miles of the birthplace of his Great Grandparents Vern and Lena Harrington as well his Great Aunt Dorthy Miller Harrington and Great Uncles Henry Rolland, Larry, and Donald Harrington. As well, the lineage on his mothers side of the family also comes from the same area of Nebraska.
His 3rd Great Grandfather Henry Harrington homesteaded in the area of Benedict, Nebraska just a few miles from Lincoln following his discharge from the Civil War. His 2nd Great Grandfather Henry Philo Harrington was born in Benedict, Nebraska (April 24, 1874 ~ June 16, 1944) and his Great Grandfather Henry Laverne "Vern" Harrington was also born in Benedict, Nebraska on August 13, 1912.
