Welcome to my web site! Many hours of work have been put into the research and documentation of these ancestors. I hope you will benefit from the information I present here. Some of the information presented results from the research of a number of family members. Some of their work helped give me a head start on accumulating this information. In particular my sister Helen has done an enourmous amount of research and viewed many, many microfilms. Please contact me if you wish to learn more about the source details of this information. I may well have more than is presented.
