The Giles Family of Gainesville, Cooke Co., Texas

Growing up I never knew who my Giles family was because my Dad's Dad died when he was 5 yrs old. We were never close to that side of the family and it has been a hole in my life yearning to be filled. I started on this path of finding my Giles lineage with the intent of knowing who these people were. But after many years of research I have stumbled upon a precious and priceless treasure that needs to be shared with future generations to come.

This is for my family; my children and my children's children to come. May you come to know the rich heritage that you have and may it never be forgotten.
