Having passed the threshold of 19,000 people in the family tree, much of the information and people that we have in the tree would not be possible were it not for the help and generosity of countless people.

There are several new pictures that have been posted and linked to the site. Many of these were provided by Barbara Besecker who we had the chance to meet while we visited Ohio a few months ago. My mother has also been contributing by providing pictures, obituaries and other documents whenever she comes across them. Apparently I have become the family archivist.
