Hello there! My name is Patricia Ann Rigg Blake and I am the webmaster of the Palmer-Berry Family Website. I also manage three other websites that you will find links to on our Links page. One is my personal website on Writing. An avocation of mine since I was a child. And the other two like this one are family websites from other branches of my family tree. My connection to the Palmer Berry line is my great grandparents, Marcellus A. Palmer and Susan Catherine Berry Palmer. My grandmother, Leola Pearl Palmer Rigg was their youngest daughter. I was born in Wichita, Kansas to Lauren Howard Rigg and Victoria Madeline Bednarz Rigg. I have two older brothers, James Lee Rigg and Lauren Dale Rigg. We also had another brother, John Robert Rigg who died shortly after his birth. I grew up in Augusta, Kansas graduating from high school there. I am married to Paul Wayne Blake and have been for 30 years. We have three grown children, James Lee, Heather, and Sean Paul. Heather is married and now we also have a son in law, Tim. We are scattered all over the country but thanks to this wonderful Internet we are able to communicate often. Family is important to me and it seems like I am always involved in a family project of one kind or another. I hope that you will visit this website often and please sign the guestbook when you have a chance. You just never know who just might want to email you and catch up on old times or meet you for the first time! Have a wonderful life! The slide show above will let you see me grow up before your eyes. How brave of me! Everything from crying about going to kindergarten to big hair days to spending a couple of years as a blonde. (I don't recommend it when you have dark hair like mine...too much work!) And the group pictures... you'll have to play "Where's Waldo" and try to find me in the group. Anyway this is intended for fun... soon I will be adding text to the pages I've already uploaded so that you can learn about the Palmer and Berry families and their history!
