Notable Relatives
Family history is more than a collection of           
names, dates, and places.

It is the process of sharing the life stories of your relatives; it is about their dreams, passions, challenges, and disappointments. 
 
If you are intertwined with any of the branches of our family tree, my family invites you to travel through time and history to investigate the lives of our ancestors.  
 
In the words of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, "If we do not honour our past, we lose our future.  If we destroy our roots, we cannot grow!"

I have taken my time to document and present our family history so that others can benefit from the lessons their lives teach us. 
 
I ask only one thing.  If you have information and insight you can contribute, please share. 
 
Please review the "Missing Pieces" web page in case you have information I am actively seeking.
