This is a genealogy project which has turned into a labour of love. 
The purpose of the website is to share my accumulated knowledge with  my family and friends. The project is also intended as a tool to help my family find each other and to help me find them. 

I wish to accumulate and document more information so I will be able to add more branches to my family tree and add to the story of my ancestors. In my quest I hope to assist fellow genealogists in their own quest to find information and add to their family trees... 

Please come in and view my web site and enjoy the stories I have written .

Background Music:
Over the Rainbow 
Sequenced by: Thomas N. Thurston

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby. 
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
