Welcome to my father's ancestry pages.



These pages were overhauled January 2007.

My main genealogical files based on my database are at my Rootsweb freepages web site. This web site is based on my database and is up to date. Nevertheless, historical information about the family and various groups of ancestors, and supporting documentation such as maps, probate, signatures, tax and census lists are still below.
