Some of our relatives have a bigger impact than others. Here are but a few. On this web site there are many, many, doctors, religious figures, and combat veterans, many who sacrificed life or limb. They all deserve great honor but I cant list them all. If you think there is someone else who needs to be on this page please contact us.
Not everyone notable is on this list. You find athletes, rock stars, space explores and, others on more specific lists located on the "Moments in Time" page.
