Some of our history

As far as I know, most of the Golding family records were burned in the Civil War. From doing a quick search I have found them coming to America from several countries, Russia, Germany, England and France to name the most common. The Burnett's have a little more general information, one source saying the name is a Scottish and English name derived from an old French word 'brunete' meaning brown. I also found a cool book, "The Burnett Name in History". It has facts, statistics, and commentary about the name "as far back in history as possible". Whether it is about 'our' Burnett's or not, I guess remains to be seen. The Shelton side, is mainly Danish and some Scottish. The Pickering's are English; and the Smith's are Irish and Welch. What a mix we are! But that is what makes us the crazy, lovable family we all have grown to be. More recently, Dad's side is from Utah through and through. Mom's side is mostly Utahn, with just the one California renegade. :) Amazingly enough, we have great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers from Alabama(Dad's side), and Pennsylvania (Mom's side). I'm not exactly sure where in Alabama, but Mom's ancestors are very close to where Staci and Isaac are. Kind of interesting how things revolve around the past isn't it? So there's a little history in a nutshell, and hopefully at some point there will be lots more to come!
