Genealogical Research



Genealogy is an intermittent hobby started at age nine. Kept at it assiduously until about 1980. The primary reason for this passion to cool was financial. It is an expensive hobby especially when you get past the 1800's. Another reason is time. After starting to be a freelance writer priorities had to be set. A number of hobbies had to be set aside completely, or relegated to a conservation mode. I try to keep in touch with relatives in the hope of being up to date on births, marriages, divorces, and deaths. However, it is like pulling teeth with roots grown into the jaw. Why people are so reluctant to provide strictly vital statistical data that is available in the public domain if one has the money to search, is beyond me.

In the last half dozen years and a bit more, my research has been virtually dormant. What has been done is to put the data on hand onto computer discs a bit at a time. The plan is to eventually put all the family group sheets in each line, photographs where possible, an index, and possibly some scanned copies of documents onto a CD-ROM. Then offer these CD-ROM for sale through our small press. That final step is a long way down the road as the data is still being typed in an uncertain schedule.

Seeing other writers' home pages in which they also share their hobbies decided me on setting up small hobby areas in my section of this web site. This genealogical section is the first. This provides an outlet for my interests and the hope that near and distant relatives might come across the pages and be willing to exchange information.

In the reworking of this section am going to do things turn around from before. Originally when this section was set up November 25, 1996 it went from generation nine though generation seven. This time we start with generation two (our children and their children) and work backward to generation nine.
