Greetings and Welcome!

"Aim high so you don't shoot yourself in the foot!"

"If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance."   --George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

"In my Father's house are many mansions." Bible, John xiv. 2.

Frederick the Great, "In Prussia everyone must get to Heaven in his own way."

Canadian historian J.L. Granatstein , Classmate of RLK at RMC "We do not simply exist in a contemporary world. We have a past, if only we would try  to grapple with it...History matters, and we forget this truth at our peril."

Family comes from a Latin word to do with the servants of a household. In the present  it can be restricted to the nuclear family (parents and their children), broadened to  include blood relatives, increased to include relatives by marriage, extended to their  relatives by marriage and throughout including siblings and their ancestors and  descendants.

Some trees are simple pedigree charts listing child to parents as far as can be traced,  excluding siblings. Others start with an ancestor and attempt to list the descendants.  In the interests of inclusion, I have chosen to broaden the search to go as far back as  possible for any pedigree and as wide and as current as possible on any line of  descent. 
 The space for links to other trees is full. Here are some more.

This is a BIG job. Can't be fired. Can't retire. Won't quit.



But I need and am seeking active assistance AND ACTIVE ASSISTANTS.

After many tries and too long a time working on the family tree on my own, I have  found a way of sharing the results with any family members who wish to see the family  tree, This also opens up the task to any who wish to share in the opportunity.  Hopefully, others will offer corrections, updates, additional information and  additional names.

This dynamic relationship means you can access information when and as you choose.  And offer your input!! The TRIBALPAGES website makes it user friendly to view the  tree and to offer information to improve and extend the listings. Simply click on the  envelope logo titled ADMIN at the top of the Home Page to send me an email.

The security settings currently allow the following access: general visitors, family  members, administrator (that's me!).
      General visitors see full information on the deceased and name and place of birth  for the living.
      Family members with the visitor password can see full information on all. If you want in, just  ask. 
      The administrator can actually enter data to make corrections or additions.

So, with your input, there is every hope that the tree will expand and the information  will become more complete and accurate.

There are known to be several organized trees branching out from members of this  tree. The persons who are links from this tree to other trees (which at the moment  are not on the TRIBALPAGE web-site) will be noted along with the URL when known.  Click on the link provided in Useful Links.

When you provide contact information, it will appear in the Address Book. Members are  encouraged to contact others on the list.  Look under People in the bar at the top of  the page for the Address Book. Check Events for birthdays and anniversaries.  Send 'Best Wishes'. Friendships may grow!! And under People look at stories - there  are occasional newsletters and some tidbits that occur from time to time. Contribute!

One of the interesting features is mapping which can show where members were born.  Select an individual. Look under Tree in the bar at the top of the page to find Map.   Then choose Family, Ancestors or Descendants.

Enjoy this site and use it to reach out to our family - Roots and Branches.
