Our family's journey begins
Welcome to the heart of The CJW Family. Here, we share the rich tapestry of our history, celebrating the individuals and moments that have shaped who we are today. Join us as we explore our roots and honor the legacy that binds us.
Tracing our earliest roots
Our family's story reaches back to a significant figure: Ralph Parrott. As the father of Gertrude Parrott, Ralph stands as the earliest known ancestor we can identify, marking the starting point of our family's recorded history. He is the esteemed grandfather of the founding members of our cherished family reunions, a legacy that continues to unite us.
The legacy of Gertrude Parrott
Gertrude Parrott, daughter of Ralph Parrott, played a pivotal role in the continuation of our family line. While much is still being uncovered about her life, her connection to Ralph solidifies her place as a foundational member of our lineage. We honor her contribution to the family's growth and the heritage she helped pass down through generations.
The tradition of family reunions
The spirit of togetherness has always been at the core of The CJW Family. Our family reunions, initiated by the grandchildren of Ralph Parrott, are a testament to our enduring bond. These gatherings are vibrant celebrations of our shared history, a chance to reconnect, share stories, and create new memories that will be passed down for years to come.
"Connecting with our roots truly grounds us and reminds us of the strength and love within our family."
