I have been working on collecting genealogical information on my family for about fifteen years now. In the early days it took very many hours of searching through microfilms and indexes at the National Archive in Washington, DC, the Genealogy Room of the Library or Congress in Washington, and the LDS Family History Center in Kensington, MD

The first step in "automation" was the local bulletin board systems which allowed professional and amateur genealogists to communicate across the metropolitan area and across the country.

Now, with the growth of the World Wide Web and the emergence of CD-ROMs there are new, easier, more powerful avenues for sharing genealogical information.

The basic data is from my data set using Family Tree Maker for Windows (I am currently using version 7.5)
Family Tree Maker has an extensive website including webpages for users.

I have set up a page but have not yet included any reports there.

(updated January 30, 2000)

1. I edited out the cross-linked genealogy information for my wife.
2. I deleted the date details of  anyone alive, leaving only the year.
3. I exported this date to a GEDCOM file.
4. I transformed this GEDCOM file to HTML files using the uFTi utility.

The resulting data is displayed on my Family Genealogy Page.

If you have corrections or additions to me data, please let me know

There are a whole host of terrific genealogical resources on the WWW. The most comprehensive eollections of links can be found at:
