I began this endeavor in September 1994. I have corresponded with various  researchers from Florida to Washington state.This quest has taken me coast to  coast gathering and exchanging information.I believe the purpose of genealogy  is to study family histories.I have for a few exceptions decided not to include  recent photos or current events for this reason.I hope through this site to  create an historical documentary of my ancestors and their roles within the  context of American and world history.I have used a time frame of Colonial   America through World War II.
