Knowing who you are and where you are going is about understanding where you came from, and the people who have had an influence on those who influenced you.

I didn't know all of my extended family, just my mother's side, parents and siblings, and my father's mother. (his father died after he was born) Family history wasn't really discussed.

This web site is part of my attempt to unravel the history, and to ensure that my children have a better knowledge of where they came from as they move into the future.
