Overview of Surnames Contact

Below are some of the families I am researching for my family, my in-laws, and my friend. We have photos, documents, sources, and much more.

BUT..... we also have a lot of blanks, questions, and loose threads. Please contact us and we'd be glad to share specific dates, sources, and other information with you.

(And check out our "Other than genealogy" page for some eclectic items. For example, an old Waltham pocket watch customized with emblems of fraternal organizations; 1912 postcards of Missouri tornado aftermath at Groves Farm.)

NOTE: The links listed at the bottom of the page are to the same data but on a Google webpage. I added them there while I try to sort out how to get my Comcast webpage to show up in a Google search so others seeking the same families can find these pages.
