I am not related to these folks, nor do I have hidden info.
I encourage everyone to visit their local Museum,
or buy a local history book for more info.
I attempt to connect people with their ancestor in these places.
If it works on just one person, per page, it is worth the time it takes me.

A "Link" to my pages, does the same thing.
Just copy the hyper link, URL, shown in your browser above,

or copy the links I have on the left side.
That is the honest and proper way to do it!
