The people of our family tree were as varied as we are today. Whether we learn of the tragic tale of Charley Clinton Vickers
or about one of the last of the Bee Hunters, John A. Richmond, we will strive to tell their stories pure and accurate. The
best way to learn about our ancestors is to study what made them who they were. Once we learn it is a wonderful gift to write
what we learn and share it with others. The people are fascinating, whether doing the extraordinary or simply living the
ordinary. Their lives, values and focus all helped in creating each of those in their family tree; you and me!
If you read something that is not quite as you recall then please let us
know so we can improve the accuracy of all information presented. Also, any ideas for stories you would like to see are
always welcomed. Perhaps you know a simple tale or perhaps your research will lead you to one. Please share it with
everyone who yearns to relax under the shade of our family tree.
~ Editors & Writers Needed ~
We need editors and writers. That’s right, editors willing to take on the task of helping edit and build the stories. Writers willing to share their memories of the people and places they know or the history of events they have learned through research. The more editors and writers we have helping to build our magazine the better the pages of our magazine will be. If you enjoy reading the articles here wouldn’t it be fun to actually write one or two as well? Of course it would!
This magazine is a very dynamic area. It will be ever changing, ever growing and ever more fun. What if you know your grandma’s favorite recipes for Thanksgiving? Write an article and let’s share it here. What if you discover new families and new stories? Share your discovery and the menu can be changed to include this new branch. Our magazine is a living document. It will never be finished but it has begun.

Our Wiki List of People Follow this link to our new wiki
site and the people you will start to see developed there. Eventually all people and places will be in the wiki site rather than here in the TNG data site so start to enjoy it now. This
area will make it much easier for any user to add, edit and expand on the stories of our family members and where they lived.
