I’ve established this website in hopes of keeping in touch with others who are interested in chronicling their family history - especially those who share my history. I have recently “met” several distant cousins thanks to the wonders of the internet, and the experience has been quite enjoyable and we’ve made some considerable breakthroughs by our joint research.

This has inspired me to make an effort to find and communicate with cousins from other branches of the family as well, and provide a place for us all to share our findings and our stories. It is, after all, the stories that make family history come to life, and often that is where the best connections are drawn. How unmistakable and how touching to learn that these cousins of mine from two different branches of the family both remember my Great Grandparents as “the cousins from California who always sent figs, nuts and cookies at Christmas”. We had all the facts in place, but to know that the stories were the same in all the families really solidified the whole thing.

The list of families we are currently supporting here are listed in the table of contents. If you would like to add your family branch, please let me know.
