Welcome Family & Guests
We hope you enjoy these pages as much as we have in putting them together. The study of our ancestors is continuing with the help of family, friends and of course the internet. On the left is a menu of choices including an excellent search tool, a complete list of surnames. Histories, interviews, stories and copies of documents. There are photos of headstones and maps of cemeteries where available. Interesting reports are in the works. Photos of our ancestors are being compiled with links to the individuals. All of this is in progress and each time you return more information will be available. Any information is welcome, and any photos or documents you would like to share can be attached to the ancestor. Comments and suggestions for improvement are also welcome. Enjoy.
The Story Tellers: We are the chosen ones
My feelings are that 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 and to feel that somehow they know and approve. To me, doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called as it were, by our genes. The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take their place in the long line of family storytellers. That, is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and put flesh on the bones. By: Della M.

About the living and privacy
Every attempt has been made to protect the names of the living. This is based on a birth and or death date, and if this information is missing then it is possible for the information on a living person to be shown. If you see any such names, please inform me and I will mark them as living.
