An Irish Toast:

Here's to lying, stealing, and cheating:May you lie to save a friend;May you steal the heart of the one you love;
A
nd may you cheat death!

Introduction, Disclaimer and Thanks!


In the research I've done online, and even in some of the "original" materials I've used - hard copies of documents, letters and other items - I've learned that compiling a Family History is more art than science. Occasionally I've found that information previously believed to be correct has not been accurate. In fact, I've come to realize that errors and omissions are inevitable. If you discover something that needs correcting, please let me know and I'll gladly make the necessary changes. And if you have something to add - a photo, a letter, a birth certificate or obituary, for example - I'd be thrilled to hear from you!

If you can use information, photos, etc., you find here for your own family history, feel free to utilize it; after all, the archive being created here belongs to all of us. My only request is that you acknowledge the source. Consistent with that request, I've tried to document the sources from which I've drawn the info in this blog - and also to alert you when I've included something I'm not sure of. In addition, at times I've made assumptions and/or guesstimated about timelines, dates, and so on. I've also let you know when I've done that.

What you'll find here is my absolute best effort to nail down the facts and preserve the stories of the sometimes amazing, sometimes sad, sometimes inspiring and sometimes disappointing - but always interesting - events and people whose DNA has been passed down to make us who we are.

Finally, I must extend a heartfelt thanks to the many people who have contributed things you see here. In this process I've connected with several long-lost relatives because of this blog - people I didn't even know existed - and that's been one of the most exciting parts of this experience! It's an ongoing labor of love, and I hope you enjoy having it available as much as I'm enjoying the process of compiling it.
