Genealogy has been a hobby of Jeff's for the past 25 years. Over this period of time he has collected hundreds of pages of information on his and his wife's (Pam's) ancestry. To see our genealogy go to:



One of our pet peeves is the fact that so much information is available out there in researchers hands, however, little good genealogical research is available on the web other than for genealogical indexes or Gedcoms. One of the reasons we are putting this information on the web is to stimulate publication of good, solid, well documented, genealogical research on the Internet for all to share. We feel as though web publication is no different than publication in a more traditional medium and the same standards for historical research should apply here. So there... enough of our soapbox.
