FAMILY HISTORY AND STORIES

Unlike the chapters in the proposed books on family history that will be written by individual researchers, the data in this section will be entered by anyone who knows something about the family. Within each section entries are organized alphabetically. Add links to the farms where your ancestors lived, and links to the homes they lived in. Pictures are encouraged.

• Families - Family history that focus on the family units that lived in the town, telling where they came from, what they did while here, when and why they left, and where they went.
