I would like to create a page filled with family stories and biographies written by members of the family. Please e-mail me with any submissions or questions.

Family pages

Research Links

Introducing the Online Family Museum

COME BACK FOR UPDATES.

Nothing is as personal in history as the field of genealogy, which offers researchers direct answers to one of history's most eternal questions: "Where did we come from?"

The field is a valuable place for students to learn research skills, as well as social history. The bland trends and postulates of academic history come to life as one follows a family in its course throughout time.  History becomes real and pressing when it is so personal. Such research, if guided properly, I feel could  work wonders in our nation's social studies departments in schools.

But that is all beside the point. this website is dedicated to the work I have done so far with my family. For those with similar backgrounds, it may be quite helpful or at least of passing interest.

I hope that people would share with me their insights on the stories told here. It is hard to digest all the cold facts such research throws your way so if you anything about any of the people mentioned or any of the places, please e-mail me.

I also would like to note that this reflects a mere portion of the work I have done, which is all cited and backed up by archival records. If you would like to see any of this work, please e-mail me with questions.
