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)
