Welcome to our website. Our family histories so far have been compiled from interviews with our elders, old newspapers, census films, public libraries and local histories. We have had some fortunate contacts with descendants of other family lines and have pieced together the information. Researching on the internet is very new to us but has become an exciting hobby. The surnames that we are researching are:
