Welcome to the genealogy segment of my
web domain. I have information on families scattered about far and
wide;
therefore, figuring out the best way to layout this section becomes quite a
dubious task, so please bear with me!
Ever since I have taken interest in my heritage, which
has been for as long as I can remember, I soon realized that my ethnic
composition was quite different than my compatriots. Growing up and
living in the south, I have yet to meet another person who is Finnish, and
doubt I ever will. The people I have met with French origins were
predominately Cajun, while my ancestors were from Québec. Although the
Cajuns were originally expelled from a former part of Québec, the difference
between the two cultures is that of night and day. Ironically, I am
only 1/8 English and I ended up with one of the most "English" of surnames.
At first glance, genealogists, or those erudite in surname origins, would
write me off as a person with dominate English lineage, but my family's story
could not be any further from that common misconception. |
Here is my earnest attempt to organize
all of the research I have amassed while delving into my heritage.
I have tried to devise the most efficient format possible, so if you have
trouble finding anything, I apologize in advance and urge you to contact me
for further assistance.
[My Ancestor List ]
Find out if we are related by viewing my
direct ancestors through five generations
[Ancestor/Family Biographies]
Read biographies about the ancestors I
could scrounge up enough information to write about, occasionally extends
through several generations.
[Interactive Family Sheets]
The format lists parents and
their children with dates and clickable links to travel through known
descendants and generations.
[Photograph Collection]
Photograph collection of ancestors
and current generations. Women may be listed under their maiden name
(when solo), or married name (when posed with family). |
[Helpful Research Links]
•Some helpful links I have
collected along the duration of my never-ending genealogical quest.
[Group Sheet Submission]
If you are connected to any
family mentioned, please submit your information to me for proper
preservation. Dates on the living will remain confidential.
[Sources Cited]
A selected bibliography of the sources
consulted during my research; may also appear in the links section.
