This site started in 2000 as simply a presentation of my parents' family history book, but it kept growing as a genealogical site. The book has been moved to a secondary spot in order to provide the genealogical data first.

I've chosen to present the data in group sheets, with pedigree charts and surname shortcut links to hopefully guide the visitor. Ancestral pictures, cemetery pictures, and obituaries have been added as primary source data.

The unselfishness of those who have generously contributed data, pictures, and obituaries to these pages is greatly appreciated.

I hope you find my site informative and useful as we preserve, celebrate, and share our family heritage. I covet your comments, questions, corrections and additions.
