Sometimes I'm awakened in the middle of the night by that little voice in the back of my mind that reminds me of something I need to do. Last night that voice reminded me that it would be helpful to readers of this blog to provide a basic family tree of my Lee ancestors. Following is a list of my Lee grandparents with a few dates and places noted. Do any of these names appear on your family tree? If so, I hope you'll leave a comment below so that we can connect and share information about our Lee family.

Beth, how do I contact you? My e-mail is scottlee500@gmail.com. I believe I am related through Gilbert O. Lee and an illigetimate child he had.
