It all began for me with my Aunt Eloise - she was the family data gatherer the old way - sending letters, buying  certified copies of war records, etc.  She got a lot done, and started me on my own craze.  I've devoted 30 years  to it and enjoy it.  I hope my family will, too.  Not everyone is as lucky as we, to have names so old and  active that they are well documented and reasonably easy to find.

All information herein from my 6xGG's to current is by personal knowledge.  Older folks are by some  family lore and/or careful review, research and culling of information found through other trees, public records, census, Indian Rolls, Military records, etc.  Errors should be expected and that information should be reviewed carefully if you plan to use it.

This tree will be updated from time to time.  Welcome.
