To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain perpetually a child. For what is the worth of a human life unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?
- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106-43 B.C.

Welcome to my Ryeland genealogical website. In the family tree you will find much more than just the Ryeland genealogy you will find information on many hundreds of different surnames from all branches of the family tree. If you find yourself on one of the trees and don't know me please send me an email, I'd love to hear from you and answer any questions you might have. There are many of you whom I've never spoken to and it would be great to get in contact with more family members, I'm always looking to expand and update my research.
