I've been intrigued by four families I have been researching -- none are mine -- that all ended up at the 101 Ranch around the time Oklahoma became a state.

I'm happy to help people with genealogical pursuits -- or addictions as the case may be. I'm a genie junkie myself so I understand.

Thanks for stopping past.
