In 1975, I became very interested in my family history. After a little research, my grandmother Dorothy Wescott told me I should contact Eula Connelly, my grandfather Vernon’s first cousin. Eula shared the crucial foundation information I needed about our our Wescott ancestors, and propelled me headlong into this project. As a result, this page is dedicated to the memory of Eula May (Wescott) Connelly. Eula was my first cousin twice removed.

In December of 2001, my son bought me the domain wescotts.org for a Christmas present, and I was able to post my family tree on the Internet, for all the world to see. It has proven to be invaluable in my research: no less than six ‘new’ cousins have found it, contacted me and provided new information about themselves and other family members. 

 I want these pages to be accurate and complete.  If you see something incorrect or have anything to add, please e-mail me at doug@wescotts.org.
