Our Branches and Roots

This site has been created to share the facts, stories, and lore that I have discovered while tracing my way through our family forest. It is divided into four family trees representing each of my husband's and my sets of grandparents.

What You Can Expect on the Family and Personal Pages

I will be posting histories of the direct ancestral lines first for each family. I will then continue to add branches to the tree sharing the stories of siblings, cousins, in-laws of the direct line. If you have stories, photos, or documents that you would like to share, please contact me. I will always do my best to give credit to the sources of all items shared.

What You Can Expect on the Blog

I will use the blog to post special finds that I want to highlight and to share tools so that you can trace your family tree. I expect to be posting to the blog about once a week.

Privacy Policy

I do not plan to use this forum to document personal information about living individuals in our family tree. I may share names to identify individuals in photos but no further information will be given without their express permission.

Please Enjoy

I have had great fun researching our family trees and preparing my research to be shared. I have tried to post only what can be documented but know that even in the proper documentation there can be misinformation. If you suspect information is incorrect, please contact me and I will consult my sources and do further research to confirm or deny.

I hope you enjoy reading the stories and browsing through the galleries of our shared families!
