Ancestry recently announced all web sites on Rootsweb servers will be moved, become static and unable to be updated, including links that become outdated. This is disappointing, presents many challenges to me and those still actively researching. The research history of my families has been confirmed with many original documents. I will be focusing on transferring to other historical avenues to assure the future genealogy interests. Thank you to the Rootsweb team and volunteers! |
IMPORTANT: This will be a no frills source for retrieving all/portions of family history detail I've located and entered on this page. Hopefully you have a favorite word processor to paste data into, select formatting choices and print at your discretion. You will need to know which branch of my tree you're descended from. Use the Edit, Find command of your browser to locate family names on this page until I complete a surnames links index. It is hoped you will respect all the folks entered here, for they are loved VERY much! We begin...... |
