This is my ancestral line.  These are the grandparents I grew up with.  My genealogy interest started with a document my grandmother had in her possession entitled the "Price Record".  It was created in 1934 and contains Price lineage references into the 1700's.  It is from this paper I found my first 'cousins' who are also interested in their lineage. 

Lewis retired from McMurtry's Paint Co. in Denver, CO.  However, for a good part of his life he worked as a Road Builder in Nebraska and Colorado.

Only 3 out of 100,000 people are named Prentice (ranks 3,928th, 0.003)
