About This Site

When it comes to learning about your ancestors, it can be challenging to find the information you want. While computer programs and search engines can make the task easier, it may also make it easier to find out that the “Hannah Evans” or “Richard Brown” in your tree is one of hundreds with the same name. Additionally, the more recent the person was alive, the more challenging it can be to find information on them.

As someone who is interested in learning about my family, I have encountered all of the problems I just mentioned just as you have or soon will. But don’t give up.

That is why I created this website. So that I can share my information, photos and sources in a simple, searchable way. I will strive to keep my information accurate (no matter how entertaining a speculation might be) and up to date without disturbing the privacy of individuals who are still alive.

I hope this site can be of help to others who are hunting down the same names as me. Feel free to use the comments to add information that you have, ask questions and share resources. Just as genealogy connects us to our ancestors, it can connect us to others who are alive and searching.

Happy Hunting.
