My Gallaudet Family Home Page

Let's start at the begining with my Gallaudet family. I have always wanted to know about my Gallaudets. When I was growing up people would ask me if I was any relation to the Gallaudet College, now Gallaudet University. I didn't know. So now I have a mission to find out where I belong in the Gallaudet family. So let's hope I do this right. Well, after some research I found out I am third cousin 4times removed from Edward Minor Gallaudet.
