Welcome to our “Families Living Bible”.  

My name is Kimberley Horn- Fram and I have created this site to help share the past, laughter,  hardships, stories and love with other family members.  I hope you can contribute to this  wonderful site devoted to YOUR family too!

I moved to Tennessee in 1993 from Washington State, leaving behind all of my family on the west  coast. Coming from a rather large family- I grew up with many Aunts, Uncles and beloved cousins.  My cousins were more like sisters and brothers and my Aunts and Uncles were the next best thing to  my Mother and Father. Holidays were all spent at Grandma’s house with all of the kids and family  around her to share the love and memories. Because there were so many of us, eating at the  preverbal “kids table” was an eagerly awaited treat. I wouldn’t take any amount of  money for the treasures I have in the back of my memory and in the deepest parts of  my heart.

Unfortunately, my children were brought to a state where they had NO family or  friends due to their parents transferring for economic benefits. They have never  known what a true “family” consist of other than that of our immediate family. They  have never known what it felt like to run out and swing on the old swing-set with 10  different cousins next to them laughing and playing. Or, to have an Aunt drop by the  house just to see if they could spend the day with her.  Their only Grandmother lives  2,200 miles away and although they have the freedom to call her every day, it’s never  going to be the same as having “Family” near you.

So, as a Licensed Paralegal for the State of Tennessee, I decided to give them  a “family” to call their own. I started to research my parents and one thing led to  another. Working at the beautiful Tennessee Capital, I realized I was right next to  the Tennessee Archives Library too. This helped tremendously in my research. Not to  mention, it gave me access to most all of the public state records in the nation. As I  continued my research you can only imagine how I felt when I found out the children  and I were actually living in the middle of our family history. We started to take  weekend trips to East Tennessee, Clarksville and South Tennessee to see different  farms, grave stones, family Bibles, people, churches and different sites that helped  to add to my children's (AND my) sense  of “Family” (in a place where we had no family at all).

Slowly things started to happen that I still believe were in the hands of a higher  entity. I have met many distant cousins who have opened their arms, homes and  memories to me and my children. God helped bring me to a bigger part of my family  than I had ever known in my life. He brought me to the HEART of my family. They have  all been so gracious with their stories, family Bibles, precious photos and hearts  that I had no other choice than to give all of this love back to YOU.

Thus, this site is dedicated to giving back to my wonderful family what God gave to  me and my children, the HEART of YOUR/Our family!  It is a living Family Bible that  will continue to grow as long as all of our cousins continue to give and together- we  can keep the heart of our loved ones alive in ALL of our children.  All I ask is that  if you can add to our family- PLEASE do so for our children's sake, and please sign the  guest book with your current email so the Monthly “Family” e-magazine can be sent  to you as well.

~Enjoy

ALL my love,

Your cousin.
