You
can take a walk down memory lane and share with us the
ambiance of your ancestor's lives, their music, their
dress and their customs. But if the lifestyle of this
century affords you little time, please use my search
engine. It will locate every page of my site that your
ancestors are listed on.
Note: You can search on any field (surnames
only, first names only, county only), or any
combination of fields.
The following searches will result in an
"every name" search: Surname Only
(whether soundex or not)
The following searches will give you only
those who are the main subject of a
biography:
County Only, First Name Only,
Any Multi-Field Search
The new "Wish List" lets you enter your
own query and correspond with each other, just like
our guest book. Please move your old queries. It
will give you a chance to make corrections.

A great tip from Angie, co-owner, if your

concrete form on top of the grave and place
the pieces of the stone in the concrete!

grandfathers and their service to this Great
Country. What better way to do this than to
reconstruct their military service to preserve it

service.
