Meet The Family...

new.png

We are the California Blackburns. Here you will find the story of the Children of John A. Blackburn and Regina F. Hanschmann (Hilgart ). It is a story of who we are where we came from and to some extent where we might be going. I have created this website as a resource for our children so they might discover something about their roots and maybe about themselves. Family is the most important thing we can have in a lifetime. A connection with our past and our future. I hope you find something here that makes a connection for you.

As one of the last of the remaining elders (the Papa) the responsability of the history of the family rests with me and my brother and sisters now. I hope this will be a legacy for the next of our family who will treasure and safeguard the memories and history we have made..
