The goal of this site is to present my ancestry and the ancestry of my children & grandchildren. Here I categorize & archive not just the genealogical facts of my ancestors, but wherever possible their photographs, letters and all things relating to them I can. This is where long dead relatives come back to life & are not forgotten.
On this website:
Genealogy - Two versions. The first public with source citations & a preferred photograph for individuals. The second is private and requires access from me. It includes the source images and all photographs in my digital files. Where known, Find a Grave memorial links are provided.
Mestephil’s Musings - My blog. I can comment on genealogical things on my mind that do not fit readily elsewhere.
Letters - Images & some transcriptions of letters by my ancestors.
Other Stuff - Ancestor dairies, albums, scrapbooks & whatever I think is appropriate.
Other Site Links - I also store my genealogy at Rootsweb & Geneanet with source citations. See the links at the left.
I also have information at Footnote, WeRelate & Find a Grave. I participate in Facebook and Genealogy Wise as well. All links provided on this page.

Welcome to my family history


In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.
- Mark Twain
