FYI

I just wanted to remind everyone that I am listing my ancestors by individual families. More detailed information on the children in a family will be listed in a separate posting, if those children have married and had a family of their own. It will be a slow process, especially for families that had many children.

If you want information on individual children before I have gotten around to posting their information, or if you have information to share, please feel free to send me an email.
