But if you insist on copying my research, PLEASE be sure to get the facts straight. Of what I have seen on the internet, marriages are in the wrong order, birthdates are wrong, children have the wrong names or are with the wrong parents. Just one big error. Other folks copy your 'work' and the result is just one big mess.
Accurate, accurate, accurate.

families are forever


  • Thought for today:
    "One of the greatest tragedies of life is the
    murder of a beautiful theory by a gang of brutal facts."
    Benjamin Franklin

    You can't change your ancestors, but you can influence your descendants.

    You are our  5877  visitor--thanks for stopping by!


    More bios to be added, as time and collection of facts permit. I will add a bit of historical events that took place during the lifetime of each individual when I am able. Come again for a visit to view any new additions or corrections (there will be many).......
    That is the way this hobby is.

    Enjoy your family, past and present!

    No matter how simple, writing a biography about family members or ancestors, puts them in a more human perspective than just looking at names in a book, database or family history page. Although they are gone, biographies make them 'come alive'.

    Knowing your families past can have a positive effect on your future. Discover the roots from which you come. Get to know your ancestors and you will enjoy their memories. Good or bad, remember they were human.

    Some facts and details are from my memory, some from research
