About Bert and Donna's Family Forest
Welcome to Bert and Donna's Family Forest! Hope you enjoy your visit! I am working on the family trees of both myself and my husband and wanted a nice family website to share everything I find and to which other family members could contribute. Names on my side include  Kincaid, Evans, Marion, Gwinn, Pauley, Taylor, McGary, Parrish, Williams, Barton and Hogston. These families were concentrated in central and southwest Virginia and in West Virginia. Names on my  husband's side include Baker, Miller, Fortney, Kimble, Eddy, Lamp, Rickey, Underwood, Bell, and Kelley located in West Virginia and Ohio.

I not only want to go as far back as I can in the family lineages, but I also want to go  out into the distant branches. I find it fascinating just how many people to whom we are connected, so many we do not know. If you think you are one of those connected people, request a membership and tell me who you are! I would love to add your 'branch' to the tree.

All of the names, dates and information are entered manually so mistakes are possible! Let me know if you see something that doesn't seem right. This website is a work in progress, but my ultimate goal is to have everything as complete and correct as possible so I would love your input! Pictures and stories bring these people to life so if you have some to share please do! Other than some copies of certificates, records, and newspaper clippings, I am not including  most of my sourcing at this time, but if you need to know from where my information came, I will be happy to provide that. Photos used on this website are either personal family photos, those shared by others, or ones that I have found online. I will gladly give credit if I know to whom credit belongs. Often many of the old photos have been shared so many times it's difficult to  know their original source. I am so very grateful for those who are willing to share their own family treasures.

A special thank you to my parents and grandparents for all the wonderful stories and memories and for keeping pretty much everything! So many treasures!

Thank you also to my mother-in-law Roseanna Baker Underwood for all of the photos and information she has shared over the years.

Be sure to sign the guest book before you leave and if you know of other family members who would enjoy this site or who would have contributions to make please send them here for a visit.
Our family tree is a work in progress with much more to be added as time permits. Please let me know if there is anything you`d like me to add - information, photos, stories, or people I`ve missed.

There are several ways to browse the family tree. The Tree View graphically shows the relationship of selected person to their kin. The Family View shows the person you have selected in the center, with his/her photo on the left and notes on the right. Above are the father and mother and below are the children. The Ancestor Chart shows the person you have selected in the left, with the photograph above and children below. On the right are the parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. The Descendant Chart shows the person you have selected in the left, with the photograph and parents below. On the right are the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Do you know who your second cousins are? Try the Kinship Relationships Tool. Your site can generate various Reports for each name in your family tree. You can select a name from the list on the top-right menu bar.

In addition to the charts and reports you have Photo Albums, the Events list and the Relationships tool. Family photographs are organized in the Photo Index. Each Album's photographs are accompanied by a caption. To enlarge a photograph just click on it. Keep up with the family birthdays and anniversaries in the Events list. Birthdays and Anniversaries of living persons are listed by month. Want to know how you are related to anybody ? Check out the Relationships tool.
