You are a descendant of the great Gabriel family. This is your family history.

Imagine that several centuries ago your direct ancestors owned a large parcel of land, something along the lines of 10,000+ acres, or so. And let’s just say it was somewhere in rural America. Many families, all living together, all bound by Gabriel family ties and honor – if not genes! (I’m envisioning something along the lines of ‘Bonanza’ here, only on a larger scale.)

Your family’s history is well recorded, they were widely known and well respected nationwide for a great span of time. Certain patriarchs of your family are recorded as being amongst the greatest of all American frontiersmen. And the land was legally theirs, too. There was no dispute, your ancestors farmed it, nourished it, built upon it, lived off (and on) it, and so on. The Gabriels owned it, “free and clear.”
