Personal note from Dave: 

 I remember growing up and seeing my mother, Carol , usually in our den, typing away for hours and hours on a typewriter.  She was involved in a mysterious study called GENEALOGY.  It was not unusual for me to find her there in the den in the middle of the night.  Perhaps then was the only quiet time that could be found in our busy home.  In 1984, I took my young family to visit my grandfather. While I was there he showed me a number of old photographs of his parents and grandparents. He had forgotten some of the names of the people in the photos.  I wanted to know them.

From then on, I was hooked. I had the bug.  The genealogy bug. It's not a bug that will kill you. But it is likely to keep you up late, staring at a computer screen, digging through internet web pages and files.  It's after 2 AM now.  I just got an email from my mom.  She is up too and found another genealogy find and had to share.

For years it has been my goal to share the family information my mother has gathered. It is still a work in progress.  With your help, we continue to refine the notes, correct errors, and expand our sources.

Well, I hope not to keep you up too late.  My brother-in-law said it best when he told my sister
"Come to bed dear, they will still be dead in the morning" .

Nope, the genealogy bug wont kill you, but it sure can keep you up late having fun.

Good luck in your family search
Dave
