Our Dreams Let be true that we shall find 
 The country of our dreams And walk the lands 
 overtwined, And drink from crystal streams. 
 The barque that we have set
 adrift Is nearly out of sight;
 But may our days be not so swift 
 To savour as we might. 
 Alone we dwell, just you and I, 
 And lie upon heath; 
 Our drooping lids succumb to sky, 
 And this we sleep beneath.
 The meadow and the hill we claim, 
 The forest and the beach; 
 The country of our dreams became 
 A land within our reach.

Hello and welcome to the latest project in my life. I built  this site about 8 years ago and hope that the younger generation enjoys it. Studying and  learning about my family. How impressed I have been as I stroll along the trails of this  adventure. Each day brings a new meaning of who I am and what I came from. Oh how we all wish  now we had asked questions when our family was alive. But we never think of asking as we think  they will live forever. Unfortunately my immediate family isn't close at all, but its still  very interesting to learn of the past and how they survived. Through this journey, you will  learn of the: Russell's--Jackson's, Sch-Shaffer-Shafer's-- Fowler's SURNAME MEANINGS RUSSELL  Definition: A patronymic name derived from the given name "Rousel," old French for someone with  red hair or a red face. Surname Origin: English, Scottish, Irish Alternate Surname Spellings:  RUSSEL, RUSELL RUSSELL also in nc census spellings different: 1790 Census Rockingham NC Enoch  Russil Rockingham, NC James Russil Rockingham, NC Richard Russil Rockingham, NC William Russil  Rockingham, NC 1800 Census Rockingham NC Alexander Russel Salisbury, Rockingham, NC Enock  Russel Salisbury, Rockingham, NC George Russel Salisbury, Rockingham, NC George Russell  Salisbury, Rockingham, NC James Rosel JACKSON Definition: Patronymic name meaning "son of  Jack." Jack may be a diminutive of John or James, or a derivation of the Old French given name  Jacque, the French form of Jacob. Surname Origin: English Alternate Surname Spellings: JACKS  SHAFER Definition: The Schäfer surname and its variations such as Schaefer come from the Middle  High German "schæfære" meaning shepherd. Surname Origin: German Americanized spelling of German  Schaefer‘shepherd' or Schaffer‘steward'. (Schäfer) and Jewish (Ashkenazic): occupational name  for a shepherd, from an agent derivative of German Schaf, Middle High German schāf ‘sheep'.  This name is widespread throughout central and eastern Europe. Alternate Surname Spellings:  SCHAEFER, SCHAF, SCHAEFFER, SHAVER, SCHEFFER, SHAFFER SHAFER, SCHAFER FOWLER This name is of  ancient Anglo-Norman origin, and comes from the Anglo- Saxon word 'Fugal', meaning fowl.  However, most of the Fowlers in America are of English descent. It seems that the early bearers  of our name not only 'pursued the captured wild fowl', but also sold them , for in its early  form the French suffix,'ere', following 'fowl', meant an agent or dealer. Old English and early  American records carry frequent mention of the name in various forms, such as 'Fouler',  but'Fowler' is the generally accepted form. I am still adding new things as much as possible  and waiting on more material and I will add it asap. I would love to hear from relatives, some  I have never met and some I haven't seen in years.
