Welcome!!

The purpose of this website is to provide a forum for sharing genealogical information about families I am researching that have a tie to the Midwest. The states shown in the drawing of the map are the focal point of my expertise, however, I have done some research in more distant states as well. My research projects also include families from Virginia, New York, North Carolina, Germany, England, Scotland, etc. that migrated westward and settled in the states making up the Midwest.
This website is divided into sections for the various projects on which I am working. My intent is to present documented information in a concise format with links to images of the references to document significant events in the lives of people I am researching.
In addition to sharing my research projects with viewers, I also am using this website to describe my genealogical services. I have more than 30 years experience researching various families. My geographic specialty centers on the Midwestern United States including the states from Ohio through Colorado [east to west] and Michigan to Oklahoma [north to south]. This region settled by people from the Eastern states as well as immigrants from many countries around the world.
