Well, this is one of a few blogs I started that went no where...now just part of the flotsam and jetsum of the blogosphere...but it doesn't have to be. I'm gonna get this thing going and share family history and lore here.

Although my great great grandpa John Gee came to the US from England in 1832, he didn't stay. After things went pretty sour for him, after his wife Hannah Green Gee died, he left his two older daughters Eleanor and Hannah in the US and took his son, my great grandpa John Phillip, back with him to England (Sidcup is where they end up).

Looks like Eleanor may have died before having any kids but Hannah lived to the ripe ol' age of 102 or so, married a guy named Hinkle and had a daughter, Ruth, who in turn had a couple of sons. I loose track of them after the 1940s but I imagine there are some Mellosh's with Gee blood in the US somewhere.

BUT the first rooted set of Gees to come and stay in the US in our line were my parents, Kenneth Herbert Gee and Patricia Hawe Gee (nee Patricia Jane Henderson).

So, my mother and father had two kids, the first to be born in the US and stay here. As kids, because my parents were only children and their parents were in Edmonton, Alberta and the rest of the Gees were still in England...our Gee outpost was just that...a US outpost of four people.

NOW, thanks to the procreative abilities of my bro, me and our various offspring, the Gee clan in 2016 is up to 18 counting spouses. I love being the matriarch of a large clan.
