How to use this web-site:
The best way to see all the genealogical information contained in this site is to click on the first link below, the one entitled "InterneTree: All-in-One Tree of Ross E. Taylor".Doing so will take you to a nearly complete family tree which encompasses all of my research on both sides of our family.
(It takes a minute to load, so be patient.And I say "nearly complete" because this web site imposes a limit of 2000 names, while my research actually includes over 2600 names.But most of you will find what you're looking for.)
Once you get to the "InterneTree", you can search for any name by typing "F". (You first have to "click" within the tree-box, and your cursor has to be presently WITHIN the tree-box, for the "F" to do anything.)Then select the person you want from the pop-up list and click "OK".That person will then become the "Main Individual" at the center of the tree, with his or her ancestors and descendents extending out on either side.
You'll notice than when you select a person from the "Find" window that their detailed information appears to the right.You can also view detailed information about an individual right from the tree itself by right-clicking on their name-box and selecting "Details."
Also, another hint: Sometimes to find a name that's not on one of the main branches of my tree, you have to make their nearest relative the "Primary Individual."You do this by right-clicking on the nearest relative's name-box, and then selecting "Make Primary Individual."So, for example, to see the Markow line of Beth's grandmother Matilda Miller Markow, you first have to make my wife Beth the "Primary Individual."When you do that, Beth's tree will take the place of my tree.Then you have to make Matilda the "Primary Individual."When you do that, Milton Markow will suddenly appear in the tree as her other husband.Then make Milton the "Primary Individual" in order to see his relatives.
Update notes:
14 March 2004
In the last year, since my last upload to this site in April 2003, I have tried to correct errors and provide better documentation.I have also extended the family lines, in many cases, by several generations using census data.
April 2003
In the past two months, I have found significant new information on the Taylor, Lamb, Gray, Robertson, and (on my wife's side) Miller family lines.The single most significant breakthrough was in tracing the Taylor line back an additional five generations.A similar breakthrough occurred in the Robertson line, though the link between Nancy Robertson and her father Gustavus is somewhat in doubt.Miller family relatives will appreciate that I have now keyed in all the information found in the Miller Family History and the Miller Family-Group Directory.Enjoy!(And please send me your additions and corrections!)

My research for this homepage has come primarily from family members and family bibles.Other information has been gathered from World Family Trees published on the internet.Surnames include: Taylor, Giesler, Robertson, Ross, Hudson, Nicholson, Lamb, & Gray.On my wife's side, Jewish surnames include Immerman, Miller, and Markow, among others.Hope seekers find this useful, and please feel free to contact me at <<[email protected]>>.If your name appears in this family tree and you have concerns about privacy issues, please contact me at once and I will do my best to remove any sensitive information. Also, if you can add any information to what I have here, especially birth, death, and marriage dates, not to mention new names, please e-mail me.
