We’re glad you found your way here. In Genealogy ancestor biographies, old newspaper clippings, faded documents, and cemetery photos come together to help paint the picture of who we are and where we came from.
It’s part archive, part tribute, part compendium of research ideas, part research toolbox, and always a work in progress.
Our Roots and Branches section features some of our family military records, vital records (birth, marriage, death), naturalization papers, obituaries, and headstone images—some of it carefully saved over generations, some of it newly discovered. We’re preserving these pieces of history not just for ourselves, but for anyone out there following a familiar name or face through the years.
Whether you’re a relative, a fellow researcher, or just someone who stumbled across a connection—welcome. Feel free to look around, reach out, and share your own pieces of the story if you have them. We’re always happy to meet more branches of the tree.
