About

The idea of doing a website about our family had been germinating for a few years. At least in my mind it was. But one hot August day it finally sprouted after a conversation with a few of my cousins at our monthly family luncheon. We decided that the history of our family was too valuable to be lost for future generations. Our family was documented as being early pioneers in Wisconsin, so there was already an interesting start to our story. We also had inherited much research from various family members which included copious amounts of photos and documents which were decaying from old age. So here it is, a mix of genealogical research and family anecdotes to pass on to the next generation. A portion of this information remains private to respect the living. If you are a researcher interested in the Runey Family of Dane County and would like access to further content please fill out the contact form and let us know! We’ll be happy to honor any serious requests.
