This is a potpourri of information about my family and ancestors. Thanks to all for helping me gather this information. It would be a waste of time and effort if I could not share this information with others. I hope you enjoy it!
It is a work in progress, so keep checking back for more information.
Some of the information is just "thrown together" due to way it came to me. I'll be working on it to get it into a more orderly fashion, but it represents a lot of research as is.

What's in This Website?

The subtopic "My Westcoast Pioneer Ancestors" tracks information about my ancestors in California and Oregon.
The subtopic "Soquel Pioneer Picnic - July 26, 2004" gives details of the presentation I gave to the Soquel Pioneer Picnic on July 26, 2004, in Soquel, California, including the text I delivered, as well as some of the presentation materials. A DVD movie of the presentation was made and is available on request!
The subtopic "Historical Documents" has documents in it that I've uncovered in my research that help explain in more detail what the life of my ancestors was all about.
The subtopic "People of Interest" is sort of an index of people of interest to me in my research efforts. Some are family members (both those I've contacted and those I've never met) and others are just helpful souls.

What's updated?

I updated this website with new content on Mon Nov-22-2004.
This website did contain a "Walking Tour of Soquel Creek", but I took that out--at least for the time being--to concentrate on putting together the research on the pioneer ancestors.
