Contributions

Contributions are welcome! If you would like to submit information on a family member (see these posts for examples), I would love to have it. Stories about our ancestors are also welcome, and you don't have to be a first-person witness of the story to tell it; just include how you heard the story somewhere in your post. Here are some examples. Another type of contribution that would be AWESOME are any kind of source of information on an ancestor or relative: scanned birth, marriage, or death certificates, pictures, sales records (wouldn't it be cool to find the bill of sale of the farm that one of our ancestors owned?), wills, censuses--really anything that mentions a family member!

If you want to become an author, I would love to have you be one! Just let me know (e-mails are great) and I'll add you as an author on Blogger, or I can publish your information for you.
