Who we are, and where we come from
About
Started with family stories and a lot of questions.
Much of this work began with notes, conversations, old memories, and time spent digging through records at libraries. It continues one person, one family, and one document at a time.
The tree and the research files are private. This site explains the work without putting living people or family records on display.
“We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.”
Psalm 78:4, KJV
Meet the family
