Like many of my cousins before me, I'm writing a book about my family history. But I'm doing it a bit differently than they did. Instead of printing an actual book, I'm writing the chapters here on the internet, so that countless family members from around the world and other interested parties can find the information and enjoy it for free. This allows me to not only provide links to other related materials, but I can also update and add to the information as I learn more about my family. Enjoy.

The chapters.
