Welcome to my web-site. This family tree is about my father's side the
Hovey-Large/Hewitt-Patterson's and my mother's side the
Johnson-Conner/Ruark-Howell's. 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Working on this family tree has been extremely rewarding and I am so happy to
have the chance to share it. I have been collecting information on my family
history for several years and have had a huge amount of help from very
generous family members. This is definitely the result of all their help. A
great big thank you to all of them for so generously sharing their hard work 
and family pictures. I couldn't have gotten this far without them!!! 

Under Construction-this is a work in progress and some of the 
information has yet to be confirmed. I have filled in the information that I 
have, but there is a lot of information that I still need. I am always looking 
for full names and birth dates and when people were married, where people were 
born and buried. As you visit this site, if there are any blanks you can fill 
in or find any mistakes please e-mail me and let me know. I can always use and 
appreciate the help! My resources have been census, obituaries, birth and 
death certificates, social security death index, some online sites and other 
family researchers. It has been so much fun meeting new cousins from all over. 
Please take a look at the unidentified photos and see if you recognize anyone. 
I would also LOVE any family pictures you are willing to share.

I hope you enjoy these glimpses into the past!!  Please sign the guest
book and let me know what you think. I enjoy reading your messages. Come back
and visit again because I am always updating. This family tree is definitely a
puzzle without borders.
