Descendants of Edward Peake
The information on this web site is the product of 9+ years of my life. It as been a labor of love and will stand as a history of my family that I am proud to display for all to read and enjoy for years to come. This all started with my mother Eva Mae Skees, Yates, Brown. She was given a handful of documents from what remained of all of her brothers and sisters' families. She asked me if I would go thru these documents and make some since out of them. The rest became an obsession and passion that has culminated into this web site. The only regret I have is that mom never got to see all of the data that I have collected over the years. Although, I did give her a preliminary set of data about 4 years ago. I don't take full credit for this what you see here. It is a gathering of information from many sources. Note: All sources for this information has been listed at the sources link and include some information found on the internet. Any documents related to these sources must be requested from those sources, as the author does not have them in his possession. Click on the Family links at the bottom to view other family trees.
