This site is possible only with the help and cooperation of family members who  have sent me family data via postal mail, email and telephone.  I first began  research on my Ancestry in 2003.  In my quest for information about my family I have  met members I never knew, some fairly closley related and have learned a great deal  about my forebearers.  Also, I have learned about members I have yet to meet.  I ask  all members who visit this site to check any and all the information contained herein  and inform me of any errors and  desired additions etc.

ADDED:  Effective September 19th, 2008 I have requested Donald Timothy Espe (Tim) to  be Co-Webmaster with me over this site.  He can edit, add or change information on  the site but with the agreement we notify each other of those changes.  Since Tim  joined me as co-webmaster, considerable data has been added.  Also, we have figured  out a way to save a major portion of the ancestry information in an external hard  drive (My Book)that can be run without benefit of the internet.  From this hard drive  we can print copies, make CDs and forward folders consisting of data on 20 names each  by email and if the main site fails for some reason we will not lose all the tediously  researched data.

Sincerely,                                           
                                                   Leon L. Espe
