Welcome

Original U.S. Flag

    Many of the men and women in our family tree spent time in service of their country's military. These veterans may have served in time of war or peace. No matter, we will do our best to honor their service. Some sacraficed years while others paid a much higher price for their willingness and dedication to protect and defend their family, friends and country! More than any other section, we will need each member of our family to contribute what they know about who served, where they served and what should be remembered by all who relax in the shade of our family tree!

   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.

Raising the Flag: Iwo Jima

   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.
