This is my personal genealogy hobby site. The data contained
here has been gathered through 20 years of genealogy. Some of
it is my research, much of it has been shared with me.
DISCLAIMER: This is my speculative data. I've
verified very little of it. Use it for hints and pointers,
but do your own research!
It costs me over $50 (US) a month to have this data
on the web, so your support would be appreciated! If clicking on advertisments
is not your thing, please consider a donation!
