What's New (past 90 days)

 1. The Family Trees section consists of a database over 10,000 individuals, 3,700+ families, and 1,950+ surnames - each person selected and entered by yours truly from information gathered since 1999. Almost everyone in the database is somehow connected to either Susan's or my family lines. 

The 900+ sources for this data include brothers, sisters, parents, uncles, aunts and grandparents, and an ever growing list of cousins that I regularly correspond with. For a complete list of sources click on "Sources" on the home page, but to name a few of the larger contributors outside of our immediate family: 

• Marguerite Freeney Howard - provided the initial inspiration for this site and much research on her ancestors.
• J. Spencer Howell - provided the inspiration and details to start on the Howell, Campbell, Stone and Davison lines.
• W. Darcy McKeough - provided much correspondence and a lifetime of work on the Stone line; 
• Emily Campbell Price - developed an extensive genealogy on our Campbell line called "The Campbell's of Auchindrain"; 
• Ted Lollis and Judi Wallbridge McCrae - contributed extensively on the Campbell line; 
• Stuart Davison and the DesBrisay Museum staff - in Bridgewater Nova Scotia provided much assistance on the Davison Family; 
• Marlene Hickman - has provided her 20 years of research on the Hickman Family of New Brunswick, NS. 
• Betty Howell Traver - contributed many original photos and documents that helped us trace the Howell line; 
• Betty Harrington Deveraux - provided wonderful photos and a genealogy of the Webster line; 
• Wendy Smythe - provided her genealogy on the Boyer Family; 
• Betty Parker Wolfe - provided her genealogy of the Davison Family; 
• Jim Brittain, Jr. - contributed hundreds of original pages from the files of Albert Sidney Howell. 

Much interesting information is also gathered during our little Genealogy Safaris to towns in Georgia, Maryland, New Brunswick, New England, Nova Scotia, and Pennsylvania. Scanned copies of many documents and photos gathered during these visits are also in the database. 

 2. The Genealogue - highlights interesting findings in this research. Most of the articles contain links to records in the Family Trees database so it provides a quick way to get a higher level view and insights into the information.  You can also limit the Genealogue articles to just those that pertain to one of Susan's or my family lines starting with Boyer, Carlin, Carter, Freeney, Howard, Howell, Stone or Umlauf. So limiting articles by Howell will also get articles on Davison, Heard and Hickman lines for example.
