We have my paternal great grandparent's hall table that was used to hold their candlestick telephone like this one. They lived in New Martinsville, Wetzel Co., WV. Their names were Morrell Brown Potts and Mary Elizabeth Hutchison Potts. He had a hardware store and roofing company and died in early 1929. She was a homemaker and died in 1940.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.

My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
