This site is dedicated to my family, living and dead, who believed in, and preserved the concept of FAMILY.This has been an effort to unite, in print, the Rishel, Dennis, Thomas and Fike Families Each record will begin with the most distant ancestor, and will end with the most recent births in the family. Any information would be appreciated, and I would be willing to share any information of intrest to others.I have family bibles, and old photos also which might be helpful to others. You will not find any celebrities, great politicians, or famous religious icons here. Instead, look for the working person, the parents with large families, and those who coped with death far to frequently.Each lived his or her life according to appointment by the Creator. Eccl. 3: 1-8
