This site's original version went online in 1996. Since then, it has invited communication and collaboration among researchers and anyone interested in knowing the histories of the families appearing on this site. All of the information included here is part of my family history, and I would be happy to hear from you through the Contact page if you want to connect.

I have benefited tremendously by the countless hours of work done by others each time I am free to use an index, consult a webpage, or read microfilm. As such, information on this site that I have authored is likewise free for you to use and copy with proper attribution for non-commercial use under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 Canada License.
