Our website includes genealogical research, stories, and photos of our extended family. The blog is searchable by category and date. Our genealogical family research pages are organized by family surname.

Caveat. Do not use cite this website as a source for your genealogical research. You are welcome to hopefully enjoy our stories, perhaps learn some thing new about the people and places we have written about, but by its own secondary nature, it can not be considered a primary source.

Why am I worried about this? Well, recently while searching online, Google AI pointed me to my own website as a source for the information I was looking for! This is perfect example of why no one can rely on any of the AI platforms. None of them evaluate the sources they use, they just spit out whatever they find.

That said, we do try our best to source material properly, to be as accurate as we can, and to be open about what is hearsay, what is probable but not proven, and what has met the standard of genealogical proof.
