Hiya!

Welcome to the Family Forest! This site outlines the research I've done on the my and my husbands family history. I've been doing research into our family off and on for almost 20 years. I've learned some pretty interesting facts about my family. Some were farmers, some were preachers, some were sinners, some were saints. All were just plain folk doing the best they could in the time they lived. 

I haven't done all this work by myself of course! No genealogist is able to gather information without the assistance of others. Luckily, I've found that there are a lot of really fine people out there who love sharing what they know, sometimes very getting little in return. I want publically thank those people helped me along the way by providing dates, places, names as well as the names of other researchers.

I've tried to make each family page as simple as possible to read. If you have any questions about the information you find, please e-mail your inquiry and I'll be happy to answer your questions. I can be reached at: sue40684@aol.com .

Be sure to check out the "Researching" page for information and on how to begin your family research as well as downloadable forms for you to use in your research.
