| Hello Web Travelers, This web site is primarily about my ancestors, because I enjoy genealogy and hope to find more ancestors and cousins out there on the Web. But first a little about me: I'm 60 years old, living on a farm in rural Missouri after 23 years as a director of community mental health programs in Kansas City, Mo. I enjoy gardening, reading, trying to make the world a better place, and of course, genealogy. I have a brother in Oregon--he's a computer guru; and a sister in Texas--she's a landscape architect (www.thefragrantgarden.com). Both of my parents are gone. Most of my ancestors, for four generations back, are buried in central Nebraska. Our annual Memorial Day family gathering probably has something to do with my interest in family history.
