The purpose of my website is mainly to share my genealogy research. I welcome communication with other researchers and hope we can share the information we gather. I try to be very careful in drawing conclusions and I intend to include references
and rationale for every piece of information listed. If you see any mistakes or omissions, please send me an email; accuracy is vital to any kind of research. Genealogy and this website are hobbies of mine, so please be patient as this site develops. If you are interested in learning more about
me, please connect to my home page. If you just want to look at the genealogy information, please select either a surname or a locality from the drop menus.
Overview
I started my genealogy research in the fall of 1999. I had a good starting foundation on some lines and no foundation on others. Because I was new to the area, I mostly spent my time & energy on my direct lines, and my research reflects that. I've since learned the value
of locating distant cousins and the importance of collateral lines. I hope to fill in these side branches with future research.
