What's so great about these records?
Look at the ancestor chart. We did not know about his French heritage before we started this family tree. Through his grandmother, Celia Overy of Florissant, Missouri, his family can be traced back over 300 years in North America.

The first proof of all this is William’s 1922 baptism, displayed below.
