Under Construction

This Blog is Under Construction

and hopefully will be for years to come.

First, let me assure family visitors to this page that your personal information and contact information will not be posted here. The purpose of this blogsite is to share pictures and general information about the family. Any information that anyone has given me in confidence stays that way. Your trust and confidence are precious to me.

The photos that will be posted on this blog are easily downloadable. Simply right click on the photo you wish to copy, click on 'save picture as', and choose the place on your computer you wish to save it to.

Because there are so many children and grandchildren, I am trying to create links as I go along to the parent's family information for easy reference. As a result, this blog will not be able to be read strictly from bottom to top as most other blogs are. Check out the pictures and follow the links if you so desire.

I have opened the 'permissions' on this site to allow anyone to make comments. Please feel free to do so. Please email me at any time with additions or corrections.

Above all, I hope you enjoy this blog. We are family, and we don't know each other that well. I hope to be a small part in changing that.

It's never too late to get to know your family.
