I have been tracing my family's ancestry since 1980. Since that time access to information thanks to the internet have greatly improved. I am now in the process, by line, of reviewing the entire database and updating it. If you have questions or corrections, please e-mail me using the link below, and I shall try to respond. Corrections are always gratefully accepted. Please note that that I do not have any information that is not listed here save for that of living people.

I am currently going through the entire database by family lines. Here are the lines that have been completed:

Burnett, Foxe, Gaughan, Myers, Oakes, Roy, Scully, Sullivan, Whelpley

Date Abbreviations:

• Abt - About - The same as circa. The actual date is probably plus or minus 5. The date is base on a source, or if a marriage date, it is set to age 20, or a year before the first born child.
• Est - Estimate - Same as "About", however these are mainly used for burial dates to ensure that the web event and last review are at the end. It is generally set to two days after death.
• Say - Pure Guess - Guess to help keep the sort correct. Don't quote me!

Married Names:

Following genealogical convention, all married women are recorded using their maiden names.

Place Names:

The eternal questions among genealogists is whether to use the original place name or the modern place name. Some places have many different names and connections over the years. My solution is to use the original place names for New World locations, and the modern place names for Old World Locations. I am in progress on setting this standard. There will be a few exceptions for historical clarity. The Byzantine emperors will rule from Constantinople rather than Istanbul.
