Acknowledgments and Assistance
List of Acknowledgments and Assistance
I would like to gratefully acknowledge the following people for their help in my research. These people have, like so many others of us, gladly shared what they have learned, and by letting others learn from them, they and we, hope to learn more in return. These people have shared gedcom files of data, genealogy reports of all types, truly great pictures of people, documents of birth, death, marriage, and more. Each piece helping prove, and show the various family connections, and expand the picture of our family's history that we would each like to know. Because of everyone's generosity and help, we have what you see today.
I thank everyone for any and all of their help. From the websites they have created for all of us to see, for the GEDCOM files we share in which to easily transfer fantastic amounts of information, to the pictures and documents we share so everyone can better learn about and experience the person we are looking at, to the emails we send back and forth, to the letters we write, and the phone calls we connect with.
All of these people, are of tremendous help to us all.
Thank You, All, Thank You
