This is the first page of many for our family tree stuff. I will have source documents that I am going to post here like census records I have found on certain individuals, any birth or death records including obituaries etc. Pictures of headstones that I may find will also be posted here. I will have headstone pages for each family name. Sometimes I go to cemeteries and take pictures of headstones that may be family. I will post them here even if I don't have a matching family member for them. If you have a match for them let me know and we will put our heads together and make some links! We can only do this if we work together. I am one that likes to share what I get. Keeping all my info to myself isn't fair as this family belongs to all of us concerned. Thank you for sharing with us! :) |
Family Trees
These two trees are both the same tree done in two different styles. They are far from finished and there are a lot of bugs and mistakes in these trees. I am working on it though and will be replacing these time and again as I update the tree. I hope you will help me with suggestions and submissions. Thanks!
Please note that I have not personally researched every relationship noted here. There may be mistakes. No information on these pages should be taken as complete fact without being independently confirmed.
