We don't have a site map. The drop-down menu on this site (at right) will take you to all of our "greatest hits."

If you're looking for something specific, we recommend using the search box in the upper left-hand corner of this (and almost every other) page. Something to keep in mind about this search is that when pages are corrected, the old pages still appear in the search results but will show up as a "404 Not Found" error when you try to access the page. If this happens to you, you may safely presume that the page has been changed and that the corrected version will also appear in your search results.

Angeline Trimble
Angeline, you are a mystery to me. You are mentioned on the 1900 Census along with James Harvey and son Perry with all his siblings. For some reason the researcher says your relationship to head of household was "Mother," but mother of whom? Harriet Brush is the mother of all those kids! What are you doing there?

Mom says I need to get a life, but I say Angeline wants her memory to live on!
RootsWeb WorldConnect Project

After a lot of looking around, I have decided to continue to use the RootsWeb WorldConnect Project to display the contents of our Gedcom file. On the downside, it's not very asthetically pleasing, as I can't control the color scheme to make it match our site. But the bigger problem for me is that when you're searching and navigating the site, the information you're looking for from our Gedcom is displayed somewhere below the middle of the page, not in a spot your eye would normally go to. It always takes me a beat to pick out the information I'm looking for. If you're having problems finding what you need, hopefully the screen shot above left here will help you.

On the upside, RootsWeb allows me to put our Gedcom file up very easily and make it searchable and easy to navigate (once you know where to look on the page). And the best thing is that you and I both may add "Post-Ems." Those are little notes attached to a given person's page. I am going to use those to point to documents on our site and hopefully tie everything together a little better. I hope we can put these Post-Ems to good use!

By the way, anyone can post a Post-Em. It says "password" at the bottom of the form, but you only need to enter a password if you want to have the ability to go back and edit what you've written. What that box is doing is prompting you for a password, so there's no right or wrong answer there. I suggest you enter something simple like "hello." This is not something that requires much security.

Online Tree
I haven't spent much time with this, but I kind of like this website for displaying family trees online. Maybe when I'm less sleepy I'll figure out a way to link pages at this site to documents I've already uploaded to Blogger?
Deuteronomy 32:7

I like this quote from another genealogy website:

Remember the days of old,Consider the years of many generations.Ask your father, and he will show you,Your elders, and they will tell you.

Deuteronomy 32:7
