Sometimes people use the words 'genealogy' and 'family history' interchangeably, but for this site, we use different meanings:
The definition of family that encompasses all the many ways persons have become members of the Wright-Dale family is: “A group of people related by blood, marriage, law, or custom.” (https://www.yourdictionary.com/family)
No matter how you got into this family, you are a product of what has gone on before.
If you were born into this family as a blood descendent of the ancestors presented here, you carry their DNA, so you are a product of their nature. More importantly, their life experiences have influenced your life, so you are also a product of their nurture. If you or your blood ancestors joined this family through marriage or law or custom, though you may not carry the DNA of the ancestors presented here, you are more importantly a product of their nurture.

The Wright-Dale family has a rich history, but the recording of it is sparse. Uncle Walt wrote 'The Story of Wright' around 1992 (almost 30 years ago!), and it needs to be updated.

In each family, there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again. To tell the family story. All tribes have at least one storyteller; ours was Walter Leon Wright Sr. Everything on this site builds on his work. Doing genealogy and family history research is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. Those of us who carry on Uncle Walt's work learned how to do this from the best.

We believe that George T. Dale is the earliest ancestor for whom we have a picture. His portrait was painted by the famed artist in the family, Dale Monroe Wright Sr. The picture here is a copy of a photograph of the original painted picture. The photograph was in Uncle Walt's files, obtained from his daughter after his passing.Click the 'More' link in this box to learn more about this painting from Dale's youngest daughter.
